Access Denied for Offline Files - Sync don't work

[Guest]

Hi,

i was reading some posts abt related topics as well. what i am experiencing
is below:

I am using Vista Business edition on my portable notebook and my office is
using windows server 2003. I had mapped an entire DRIVE (located in my win
server 2003) into my notebook and activated the "Always Available Offline".
however, whenever i unplug and work on my docs at home/outside and save the
docs after editing, when i re-plug in when i'm in the office, it always shows
"ACCESS IS DENIED" in the SYNC CENTER. the win server 2003 copy(s) will not
get updated too. and the folder concerned will always show ".tmp" files.

I have full control over this DRIVE in the win server 2003 but there's no
"SHARING" option for me to explore. should i map FOLDERS instead of DRIVE?

any advice? Thanks.

Yea. I'm having it as well. I would call it the most prominent Vista issue
with Offline Files. MS has to do something about it. I have asked multiple
questions regarding it in a topic "Offline Files gives "Access is Denied"
error", but the only workaround posted here is to give Everyone Full Control
to those files, which is usually not an option, if it's My Documents.

We need a real fix to this. I hope to see it in SP1 at least.

The answer has been found! See this post:

There finally is an answer. After looking EVERYWHERE, I found the Microsoft
solution... Check the third reply I made. It has a link to the MS KB
article for the fix.

I have applied the PRE-SP1 patch and it worked on my computer! FINALLY!!!
I HAVE to have the offline files working or it creates major problems for my
work!
