Server = Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 RAID 1
Client = Windows XP Professional SP2

The server has an E:\ drive. It is shared on the network. Clients have
permission to manage folders and files on this drive.

Here is the problem:

The client machine will create a folder. The folder is immediately visible
when viewed from the server; however the client machine needs to refresh
Windows Explorer before the change will show.

This problem is random. Restarting the client machine will usually fix this
issue for a while, but the issue always returns randomly. More than one
client on the network has experienced the same problem.

If you need more info from me I will be checking this post often.

Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi Ryan

A couple of thoughts:

Is the client machine set to "launch folder windows in a separate
process"? (In Tools > Folder Options >View)

Do you still get the refresh problem if you create/delete folders in the
right-hand pane of the Explorer window instead of the left?

I checked the folder options and launch folder windows in a separate process
was not selected also it does still happen when i create a folder in windows
explorer as well.

But did you try creating the new folder specifically in the *right* pane
of the Explorer window, rather than the left?

you know what i did do it in the left pane and it works just fine. I think it
has something to do with the way the shortcuts on the desktop were routed.
but going through explorer made it work so thanks for your help.
