Cant save changes on server 2008 share

[mattski2000]

Hello , I hope this is the correct forum to post this question.

I installed server 2008 60 day trial last week.

OS installed without any issues, I added the role of file server all OK.
Added the server to my current sbs2003 domain without an issue.

I wanted to test how fast server 2008 is at basic file serving.
I setup a share with full permissions for the everyone account.

I then copied files from our 2003 server to the share on the 2008 server.
Network speed was good, all files copied across successfully.

I can browse the share from any windows machine on the domain.
I then opened a solidworks assembly from that share using a Windows XP client, the assembly opened faster than on the server 2003 machine.
I was impressed, I then made a change to the assembly and pressed save, the client machine just sat there on egg timer. I checked task manager to see if solidworks was responding to find that it was showing as not responding. I had to end task.
I tested this on a couple assembly's getting the same result every time.

I then tested creating a word doc on the server 2008 share and then saved the document, didnt have a problem with that at all.
I copied a fairly large rar file to the server without any issues.

Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on why when saving It would crash solidworks.
I can do the same process using a 2003 server and it doesn't crash solidworks.

I have check permissions on the share and files, I have gone to the extent of adding the 3 users to the share and giving them full access.

Hardware is

Quad core CPU
8GB mem
Server 2008 Std 64bit
160GB IDE OS drive
Raid card with 3 HD's for Data
Intel NIC

Make sure you setup Sharing and choose advanced and permissions and set read and write for domain users and domain admins and then also setup your security for your permissions. if you only setup as read on the share you cannot access them to write data even if the Security says full access
