Windows Vista - Offline Files Access Denied

[chriss3 [MVP]]

Hello.
I have an issue on several machines that experience the same issue with
Offline Files. Once redirected folders using Folder Redirection for My
Documents is setup, Users on Windows Vista SP1 get's access denied, to all
'Offline' content, and files created/modified can't be synced to the server,
sync center reports access denied.

The file server is running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition R2 with
Service Pack 2 installed.

The share allow use of Offline Files, and share permissions are Everyone FC.
I let Folder Redirection populate folders for each user in the root
directory of the share. (Following Guidelines)

This issue seems to be common, but there doesn't seem to be any solution to
the issue?

Many of the 'access denied' errors that are seen in Vista are caused by a
lack of 'Full Control' as a rights setting for the files.

You should check user rights again, because Vista has a nasty habit of
losing rights. Maybe, it's fixed with SP1, but I am telling you, Vista has
lost user rights on folders on me in the past. It has not happened in a long
time now.
