offline files

[M.G.]

Hi.
I had a PC on domain1, and I had configured offline files on a network
connection of the domain server.

Now, this PC is on domain2 and it has configured offline files on a network
connection of the current domain server, but it still tries to synchronize
files to the old domain server and it always shows an icon saying that there
are unsynchonized files.

I open mobsync.exe and I have uncheck the offline files of the old server,
and besides this PC has no file to synchronize to the old server.

Is there a key on the registry to configure which network connections to
synchronize because the mobsync.exe isn't useful for me (as I have said, I
uncheck the offline files of the old server but it still tries to
synchronize, so it doesn't matter if you check or not in the mobsync.exe).

Thanks,

M.G.

We found offline files to be that troublesome that we stopped using them and
used simpler alternative solutions based on XCOPY scripts in the end.

Been there, seen it, and pulled my hair out over it.

The only way's around I found was to totally disable/remove offline files,
thus removing the conection to the old server/share, then resyncing again
from scratch.

Another method (I think, going from a distant memory) is to, recreate the
share on the old server, let it sync, then unsync it gracefully.
