For the last few days I have been having constant complaints from my users
about getting a "Disk Full Error" when trying to save to the my documents
directory. I am posting this here because we use intellimirror to mirror the
my documents directory to our file server. It seems very spoartic. Most
users can save to the directory without a problem, but I still have about 25
or so users who can't. The disk is simply not anywhere near full. In fact,
this is a little over a terabyte of available disk space. Upon doing an
Internet search all I find is a bunch of articles mentioning a Word problem
and having to clear temp files or rebuilding the normat.dot template. This
does not apply as it is every application in use. The users can save to
other mapped drives just not my documents. Anybody have any ideas? Please
help!!!

Do you have limits enabled?

No. That was the first thing that I checked.

Have you checked for permission issues? We had a similar problem in a w2k
domain scenario - the My Documents was mapped via group policy to
\\server\share and the option "Grant user exclusive rights" was ENABLED.
This caused no end of problems.

Check in group policy whether this exclusive rights setting is enabled, if
it is, uncheck it.
