Webdav locks not being respected by native NTFS
We have a webdav folder setup for remote access. It is secured with SSL and the require lock for writing is set to true. We have local users that access the same files via SMB shares. When a local user opens a file on the share and a webdav user attempts to open the same file they get a warning. When doing the reverse (Webdav user opens first) the local user does not get a lock warning. Our current workaround is to have all users map the drive using webdav but this is not a desirable solution. Am i missing something?

Local users mapping with net use p: \\server\share *
Webdav users mapping with net use p: https://server.com/share *
