I have a serious problem, here's the scenario;
User used to be connected to a domain in Florida. The user synchronized a
network drive to his laptop for offline use. He moved to Louisville and
continued to log into the domain, even though it was not physically
available to him. He kept logging in with a cached set of credentials. This
goes on for 8 months; during that time he continually updated the offline
folder with new data.
I just joined his laptop to the domain in the office where he works. This
instantly created a problem of him not being able to access his offline
files. He can browse to their original network location
\\server\home\username and see's them all as synchronized and available.
However, he can't access any of them, or copy them to a new location as he
is logging into the computer as a different account on an entirely different
domain.
Facts:
The files are there.
The attributes cannot be changed.
I see no way to take ownership of the files, I'm sure this is by design of
Windows for security reasons.
The original domain is no longer available to connect to.
What can I do?
