I have been experimenting with the offline folders feature of Windows 2000
Professional to make a local offline copy of a network share held on the
filer.
I have found that when I create a brand new share on a Windows 2000 Server
and mark this share to be available offline everything works OK.
When I create an identical share on our filer and make this available
offline everything seems fine at first. The documents will sync. I can then
take my laptop off of our network and read the offline copies of the
documents. The problem comes when I reconnect. If I have only created new
documents whilst at home, on reconnection these synchronize fine. If I have
amended an existing document, when I return the synchronization fails with
the following errors :
Offline Files (\\Filer\share <file://\\Filer\share> on Filer): Unable to
access 'New Microsoft Word Document.doc' on \\Filer\share
<file://\\Filer\share> . An unexpected network error occurred.
Offline Files (\\Filer\share <file://\\Filer\share> on Filer): Unable to
merge offline changes on '\\filer\share'. An unexpected network error
occurred.
I have checked the permissions and both share and file level permissions are
set to Everyone - Full Control.
I have also upgraded to the latest version of OnTap hoping this would cure
it.
Any ideas ?
Kind regards,
