Guest andrew@tme.co.uk Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 A client has a problem where 3 of the users laptops are setup to synchronise My Docs with a Windows 2003 SP2 server. The problem is that the laptops will not save properly when working offline. MS office will lock up when trying to save to the offline folder and sync errors occur when the users return to the office. I have tried re-initialising the offline cache but this doesn't make a difference. I have also tried it on a brand new laptop and still the errors occurs. This all suggests that the server is misbehaving. Is there a away to re-initilise the offline database on the server? Or can someone shed some light on this? Thanks Andrew
Guest Anthony Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Re: Offline Files and Synchronisation 1) Do you have any errors in the logs, on client or server? 2) Have you set the standard settings for Caching on the W2K3 share? There is no database on the server. It is a client-side function, Anthony http://www.airdesk.co.uk <andrew@tme.co.uk> wrote in message news:1190560523.741027.325790@o80g2000hse.googlegroups.com... >A client has a problem where 3 of the users laptops are setup to > synchronise My Docs with a Windows 2003 SP2 server. > > The problem is that the laptops will not save properly when working > offline.

Guest andrew@tme.co.uk Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Re: Offline Files and Synchronisation No erros on the server and none on the client either. Doesn't help at all. The caching settings on the server share has not be changed (I assume you mean the Caching button on the Sharing tab in properties on the folder?). I did check this as thought it may have something to do with that but unfortunately everything is ok there. Any other ideas?
