SYMPTOMS

After any document is cached on a client when you are using client-side caching (CSC) with a share that is set for manual caching, all new files that are created on that client are automatically cached.

CAUSE

Many programs (such as Microsoft Word) complete the following procedure when changes to an existing file are saved:
  1. Create a temporary file with the changes (automatically cached).
  2. Rename the existing file to a temporary name.
  3. Rename the new file to the original name.
  4. Delete the old file.
With the preceding behavior, it is easy to have files automatically cached on a share that is set to manual caching.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Without the behavior that is described in the "Cause" section of this article, many programs would no longer work in CSC-enabled environments.
