Guest lforbes Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I had a server go offline for a few days due to a network cascade. This created a big MESS with regards to Offline Files. Users are logging in and their My Documents and their mapped drives aren't there until they synchronize. I have disabled Offline files at the server but it doesn't seem to be taking effect. I know how to initialize the cache but I have 500 machines and would really rather not do it manually on each. Is there a batch file or a way to remotely delete the offline file cache on startup? The files are all html and jpg IE files (even though I said NOT to cache those file types) Thanks Lara

Guest lforbes Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Re: Offline Files Issue Thank You. That was exactly what I was looking for. I have disabled Offline files now completely because if the server goes offline I don't want anyone saving anyway.
