Issues with File synch/Offline folders

[Robert Mastrantuono]

Hello,

Our current n/w config is a win2k server with XP clients and cisco switches
(all connected with fibre b/w floors).

We have setup offline folders/file synchronisation on some clients (approx
20) and we constantly have intermittent issues with the synchronisation
dropping in and out, saying that the n/w connection has been dropped (even
though it actually has not since there still is access with other services).

We have put performance monitors on our servers to check for abnormal
levels, but our servers are not heavily loaded (have exchange2k, file and
print services for 50 users).

If anyone has had similar issues can you let us know so we know how to solve
this strange issue.

Kind regards
rob

File synch/Offline folders

Same problem with my W2K server and 35+ WinXP laptops.

When that happens, users in problem have no longer access to other shares present on the same server hosting the user profiles with offline folders configured. They have to synchronize manually so they get the shares back online.

I did lots of researches on the web (google, MS-Technet) but couldn't find any solution.

Please help !

Jim
