New folders added to existing offline folder not included
by ZGp0aG9tYXNfdHBjYw » Fri, 18 Mar 2005 05:49:06 GMT
I have been experiencing a problem. Running a Windows XP Tablet (SP1)
connected to a Windows SBS 2000 server. I have a folder shared on the server
- called 'Shared' that contains several subfolders. When I first select
Shared and select to 'Make Available Offline' all subfolders and files they
contain are marked as offline files and are included. Later, if a add a new
subfolder to the 'Shared' folder on the server, it may or may NOT be marked
as available offline. Is there a way to ensure that ALL new subfolders added
to the 'Shared' folder on the server are automatically included in the
offline files? Individual files added later to a subfolder that is marked as
offline seem to always be added and marked as offline files. Problem only
seems to be with subfolders (and any files included in this new subfolder)
that are added on the server.

Hi DJ
We are experiencing this same issue. Have you had a reply as yet to
this?

2.Offline Folders: Added Sub-folders are not made off-line
I am using XP and use offline folders to keep important data on / up to date
on my laptop.
I have noticed that if I have a parent folder set to available offline, if I
add a sub-folder then this sub-folder and its contents are available offline.
However if someone else adds a sub-folder then this sub-folder (and its
contents) are not automatically available offline (even though the parent
folder is and theoretically all subfolders beneath it).
Has anyone else noticed this problem? Is there a fix?
As it is I have to periodically look through the folders to see if any new
subfolders have been added that are not available offline and make them so.
On this theme, if there is no way to automatically ensure the subfolders are
available offline, is there a smart way to search for subfolders (within a
particular parent folder) that are not available offline?
Thanks
3.Folders under parent offline folder do not inherit "offline" status
4.Offline folder trying to synchronize to a folder that no longer exists
Dear Microsoft, I am currently pulling my hair out.
I have a couple of laptop users that have a GPO to makes
their home directory available offline. I have just
resently moved them from one Server to another, but the
Offline wants to go to the old Server Share. I do not
have access to the global GPO only parts as required to do
my job, and this GPO is controlled higher then me and only
points to the users home DIR. When I check under offline
folders, it shows both folders, how do I remove the old
entry? Without either rebuilding the laptop, or removing
it out of the Domain.
Cheers.
5.New Folder in Offline Folders?
Offline Folders is generally working fine except for one thing. A user's
subdirectory on the server was made available offline, including the
checkbox to make all subfolders also available offline. This works fine, but
ignores any new subfolders made *after* that time, but still under the main
folder made available offline, even though it synchronizes everything else.
Shouldn't these NEW subfolders also be made available on the portable
computer the next time it synchronizes? Right now, we have to manually make
these new subfolders available offline - is this the only way Offline
Folders will recognize new folders, even if they're created inside a folder
that's previously been made available offline?
Thanks for any info,
John
