Problem with offline files: error "no access"

[Martin Rhinow]

I use VISTA business on my VAIO TX5MN. When I change offline files on my
VAIO in offline mode and later try to synchronize them with my PC with XP
SP2, I get errors "no access". I found out, that files like {6354725448}.tmp
appear on my PC with XP. New files on my VISTA VAIO or new files on my XP PC
or files changed on my XP PC are synchronized without errors. This seems to
be a serious error in VISTA.

I found some interesing articeles:

In fact, I had wrong settings, concerning "opportunistic locking". I set
proposed values in my XP registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRXSmb\Parameters\
OplocksDisabled REG_DWORD 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
EnableOplocks REG_DWORD 1

But now I still get my "no access" errors. Wo can help me?

Hi Mark,
It looks like you don't have "all access" on the share for the user
accessing the share. On the server (which I gather is the XP machines) in
share permissions for the share in question, make sure the "all access" box
is checked for the user accessing the share.

Hope this helps,
Shubhankar

Thanks for your answer but in fact I have "all access" on the share for the
user accessing the share. My server is a XP HOME SP2 machine. The "all
access" box is checked for the user accessing the share. Do you have another
idea?

Just to be sure, is the following your exact scenario?
The client is a Vista machine
The server is running XP SP2
The user has made a share on the server, available offline on the client
The user has "Full Control" (not all access as I had earlier written) in
both these places on the rt click property page of the server directory that
is shared-
1. when you click on "permissions" in the sharing tab.
2. in the security tab
The user makes changes to share from client, while the client has no
connection to the server
The user then gets a connection to the server from the client and tries to
sync his offline changes to the server.
Everytime the user does that, he gets an error and an additional .tmp file
appears.

Exactly, thats my scenario.
Meanwhile I installed a software that gives my XP HOME some XP Professional
features like security settings for shares. Even if I set full control to
everybody for the directory of the share and all following directories
(security XPFSE) I get this error.

Furthermore I noticed, that file attribute of the share (and all directories
of my XP machine) shows write protection. I am able to change that, but next
time I look, write protection box is checked again. But I read in the
newsgroups, that this is a general error in XP. And remenber, I am able to
change shared files directly from VISTA, when I dont use synchronization.

Hi Martin,
I wonder whether the fact that this is XP home has anything to do with it.
Do you have access to any other servers (XP pro or win2k3) you can try this
out on?
There is a bug in Vista RTM that would cause exactly this scenario to fail
(modification works but sync fails.) However that gets fixed if the share
permissions are changed to "all access"

Thanks,
Shubhankar

Thanks for your answer. Sorry, but I don't have access to XP pro or win2k3.
I only have access to another notebook with XP home (SP2). I tried there
(without changing any "opportunistic lockings"): I got the same error.
As I read in another newsgroup, SONY did change VISTA on some machines with
fingerprint recognition or other features. My VISTA machine doesn't have any
special security features but I bought my notebook with preinstalled VISTA
business.
