Re: Folder contents are different when logged in remotely?

AFAIK shadow copies can only be accessed using the Shadow Copy Client, so I
doubt it's related to that. More likely the remote PC is accessing locally
cached copies of the data instead of the live versions. I'd start by
deleting the offline files to test this.

Before connecting the VPN, on the remote PC go to Windows Explorer Tools ->
Folder Options -> Offline Files. Click the Delete Files button. Then
connect the VPN and see if you're seeing the expected files. Offline files
are profile-specific, so if you have a separate profile on your home
computer that you use when VPN'ing, you'll want to do the Delete Files from
that profile.

Hi,
I have discovered a strange effect, if I work on some files in one of the
SBS2003 server's shared folders when logged in on the internal LAN, then
go home and log in remotely using a VPN and Remote Desktop to the server
and browse to the same folder, the contents I see do not match what I see
when in teh office. The files I see are old versions, indeed some files
are not present, yet if I ring someone in the office and ask them to read
me what they can see from their machine they can see the file that I could
see when i was in teh office.

Is this some kind of Shadow Copy issue, ie when logged in remotely I am
seeing one of the older copies of the folder? If so how do I stop it doing
it, it is just so frustrating!
