About a year ago we did a fileserver migration as the hardware is about to die on the existing server<\/p>\n

Everything went well and we got the data across with shares and permissions as they were previously<\/p>\n

However, we were told after the event that several users used the offline files feature in XP for when they worked away from the office.<\/p>\n

Our move to the new server played havoc with it and even after i found some nice commands to “repoint” the offline files database to a new location (details here<\/a>) it was still cranky so we thought it best to just started again<\/p>\n

However just deleting the offline copies of the files isn’t always enough.<\/p>\n

I had a similar issue occur today so thought i’d post about what i did<\/p>\n

If offline files is doing weird things you can completely reset the cache<\/p>\n

1. In Folder Options, on the Offline Files tab, press CTRL+SHIFT, and then click Delete Files. The following message appears:
\nThe Offline Files cache on the local computer will be re-initialized. Any changes that have not been synchronized with computers on the network will be lost. Any files or folders made available offline will no longer be available offline. A computer restart is required.<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you wish to re-initialize the cache?
\n\u00a0
\n2. Click Yes two times to restart the computer.<\/em><\/p>\n

After you have restarted the computer you’ll have a nice clean offline files database and you can start again. Supporting KB article here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
