Windows Xp Clients showing offline synchronization.

[Lisandro Grullon]

Hi everyone,
Here is my scenario, I have all my clients Windows XP SP2, about
150-200 of them. All the clients were connected to a server call SRV1
sharing a folder called "Photos", all of a suddent the OS Hard Drive
Crash leaving the server unbootable. I was force to reinstall the
Windows 2003 Enterprise Server OS in the box. I move the content of
SRV1 to SRV2 and created a new share using GPO. All of suddent I notice
that the Windows XP clients are trying to connect somehow to SRV1. I
went to the synchronization option and uncheck any synchronization with
SRV1 in the clients, the only check mark synchronization currently is
with SRV2 which is the new share server. Can someone tell me how to get
around this issue. Thank you.

Hello Lisandro,
i think this is probobly Windows time synchronization between Server and
clients.
I hope this will help.

Not sure what is happening but I still getting the nasty message that
saids. "offline files - working offline" cannot connect to srv1. srv1
is a domain controller, but the files that were in the server were
moved to srv2 and not longer are been assese by the users using that
server. Does anyone have a clue of what is going on, does the client
have a cache copy somewhere of the srv1 files and that is why is
searhcing for them. Thank you for your Repply. Lisandro

The only way around this issue seems to be using the following, I
wonder if this could be set-up using a vsscript to be execute via GPO
from the server rather than going through each machine manually
executing it.
