DFS and Offline Folders

M

Mike

I am using off-line folders through a DFS share on the
Windows XP Professional operating system. I recently
moved the data to a new server and repointed the DFS link
to the new data area. Now the off-line folders display an
error on every file and folder. I have gone through by
Microsoft and Google searches and can not find any thing
about this type of problem. Has any one seen this type of
issue. When ever I try to make the files offline I
receive the following message "Offline Files
[\\server\fileshare\]; Unable to make 'userid' available
offline on \\server\dfsshare\. The system can not file
the file specified.'

We had the same, more or like, problem...
We found out that you hav to use the NTFS permission: "List folder Content"
for share level and down to users folders.....but not on users folders...for
domain users...
+ client side caching must be enable on the share...
