Offline files - "unavailable for reconnect" after reinstalling server.

[Kirill Palagin]

Hello.

After reinstalling Windows Server 2003 (with the same name and
maintaining drive mapping on client) I can't connect to the server from
WXP SP1 machine which had offline files enabled. When double-click tray
icon for offline files I get window with entry for that server with
status "offline" and information "unavailable for reconnect".

How do I force it connect to server and synchronize files?

Thanks a lot.
WBR,
KP.

If you have reinstalled the OS it is not the same entity, even if you
have given it the same name. You will have to set up a new connection.

How does client track server entity?
Thanks.

If you have reinstalled the OS it is not the same entity, even if you
have given it the same name. You will have to set up a new connection.

The new server will have a different security identifier, even though
you gave it the same name. You will need to remap the share.
