title: Permissions and SVN Updates on Windows Server 2008: same folder & SVN account, different Active Directory users
body: <p>We're experiencing strange permission issues with SVN after switching from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008.</p>
  
  <p>On our standard build box there is a folder (<code>C:\SVN_Code_Folder</code>) which AD_User_A associates with a SVN repository using SVN_User and TortoiseSVN 1.7.6</p>
  
  <p>When using Windows 2003, when AD_User_B logs into the box and tries to Update, Switch, Merge the SVN_Code_Folder with SVN_User, the command is executed.</p>
  
  <p>It Windows 2008, it fails with the message: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Command: Update<br>
    Error: Working copy 'C:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\New folder' locked<br>
    Error: sqlite: attempt to write a readonly database<br>
    Error: sqlite: attempt to write a readonly database<br>
    Completed!</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Attempting to unlock the file, which was never locked, via the context menu is met with the following message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>There's nothing to unlock.  No file has a lock in this working copy.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've played with the permissions of the folder and I've discovered that giving "Domain Users" control over the folder fixes the issue, but I would prefer to not have such a broad permissions.  I've tried granting the same permissions to individual users and a SVN-group, but these too did not work.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing?<br>
  Is this an improper use of SVN?<br>
  Can 2 different Domain users update a folder using SVN without removing the .SVN file?</p>
