Question about document conflicts on a NAS
In our current server 2008 environment with Office 2013, whenever a user tries to open a Word document that's open by another user, they receive a popup indicating the file is in use. Will that still...
No problem.

Some people have reported problems here with permissions. That has different symptoms then the one you asked about (for instance not being able to open or delete a file that isn't in use). Even if all the users are in the same group, sometimes permissions misbehave. If you don't need separate accounts, then I suggest that you set up the NAS so that all the users share the same account - all you need to do is put the same credentials into Windows Credential Manager. Hopefully others who are deploying in a similar environment can chime in.
How many users would you have?
