Make Available Offline

[Guest]

I have a use that used the "Make Available Offline" option for several of
their file shares. The place where the user shared the files from has now
moved to another location, but the synchronization task is still looking in
the old share location. How can I change the sync location without loosing
data?

Lee,

I have had this problem with 40 users when i installed a new server recently.

The only way i could work around it was to :

1) Recreate the OLD share on the server so that the files will sync across.
Then open the OLD share and ensure that the files are there and correct.

2) As there is no way to deslect a user from the offline files settings you
will need to reinitilaze the offline files cache, to do this on the users
laptop open the My Documents folder/users home drive and go to the folder
menu and select folder options, then on the window that opens select Offline
files. On the delete items button press the CTRL+Shift buttons and then
click it with the mouse. You will get a message telling you that you will
need to restart. Once you restart all offline files will have been cleared.

3) Now get the user to select the required files from the NEW shares.

Hope this helps
