Offline Files Issue

[Guest lforbes]

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

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.

 

Cheers,

Lara
