Working offline - change of server

S

SJA

We have installed a new SBS 2000 server with a new server
name. On each client PC we have manually remade server
folders "Make Available Offline", which works fine.
However, we cannot find a way to get rid of Offline Files
trying to access the oldserver name.

Somewhere there must be a configuration file holding the
oldserver name as an Offline Filess server. Anyone know
how to get to this?

I too also have this issue on several laptops where users shares have been
removed / changed.

Any advice would be gladly welcome.

Thanks

Stephen

Found it! :)

Open up Windows Explorer
Click on the Tools menu and then Folder Options...
Click on the Offline Files tab
Hold down the <Ctrl> and <Shift> keys together while clicking on the Delete
Files... button
Click the Yes button to confirm you want to reinitialize the database
Click the Yes button to restart your computer
