About 6 months ago we upgraded our hardware from an old Compaq W2k server to a brand new Compaq server with Windows 2003 using a 39 user network license version for Autocad Archictectural Desktop 3.3 sp2. We moved all the end user licenses by a registry entry that pointed to the new license server. Since the upgrade we have had nothing but read only issues.
The error reads...
Unable to save to drawing *.dwg as it is being accessed by another session. Drawing saved to *.ac$
Most of the time all a user will have to do is a save as to fix this problem. I've looked on the server and sometimes someone else has accessed the file while someone was in it and created a read only for the person who originally was working on the drawing.
I have been on talking to Microsoft for a few months now and they have done everything they know about read onlys. They pointed me to Autodesk for some answers. Has anyone else had this problem. I've read messages about read only's but they were posted a while back.

My firm has upgraded a Dell server to Windows Server 2003 recently in one of our East Coast offices. Ever since this upgrade the users in this office (all running ADT5, SP1) have been experiencing file save problems.
The problem presents itself randomly when the user attempts a QSave while in session. The message is the same as that reported in MSvehlik's post. The users report that after some time has elasped (4 or 5 minutes) they will be able to save the file. The problem has never come up when the user is closing down ADT or closing a file with a Save.
I have watched Open Files in Server Management and can confirm that no other person is accessing the file that will not save.
