I am unable to rename a new file or folder on a network share with
Windows Vista Business Edition.
When I try, it pulls up a "Copy Folder" dialog box.
This is what the box says:
The U:\Drivers folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or
deleted.
Do you want to create it?

The U:\Drivers folder is the folder that contains the object that I'm
trying to rename.

If I say yes, it just pops up again. So I have to say no.

I can create a new folder, and I can move them around.

I have some third party apps installed and Office 2007.
If I try to save a file with Word 2007 to a network share, it will
work, but I will get this error:
There has been a network or file permission error. The network
connection may be lost.

There are 3 New Dell Optiplex 745 PCs with this Vista image that I
installed using the SMS 2003 OSD No touch image deployment pack.
From what I have read on other news groups, this may be a factor.
Click to expand...
I used the SMS Capture WinPE boot disc without modifications (other
than Dell NIC drivers) to capture the image.

I did use sysprep.
I installed all the newest drivers.
It is the member of the domain.
 
I have this exact same problem on an HP laptop running pre-installed
Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I can create/copy/move a file to a network
share and I can delete that file, but I cannot rename that file or
folder. I cannot rename any existing files or folders either, but I
can delete them. The file shares are hosted on 2 Windows XP machines
and a samba server. I've done a system restore back to the "factory
fresh" state and I still have the same problem.
 
Me too... Exactly... on an ACER laptop running Vista Business.

It happens on any network share from a Win98 shared drive to my W2003 domain
server share... but I can rename folders and files on the local drive OK.
 
The same here also, on Acer TravelMate 6463 WLMi, Vista Business.
Microsoft guys, please prepare a fix asap - we're not confortable with
this. Thanks!

Oh great! Me too, TravelMate 4234WLMi (customised by Acer) running Vista
Business. Exactly the same problem as everyone else.
