I have a Microsoft Server 2019 Standard with MS Office installed. I also have a Linux server that shares each user's ~/windows/ directory through Samba with their Windows account when they're logged in (as a network drive). However, when they attempt to save an .xslx file located in the said directory, the following error appears:
Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'D:\\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.MSO\53B87310'.
There are several possible reasons:
- The file name or path does not exist.
- The file is being used by another program.
- The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as the currently open workbook.
None of the above is true - the file exists, doesn't seem to be used (since it's a temporary file created by Excel) and there is no Workbook name collision.
Saving the file locally (to Desktop, for example) works without any issues. Saving a file as Administrator to the network drive works without any issues too, which hints at problems with privileges.
Any help would be much appreciated!
