Re: Synchronize of profile and user share folder

Morning Terence,

Thank you for your very clear instruction.

I would like to clarify some points and if I misunderstood your reply,
please do not hesitate to get back to me.

Would like to add the following information - on the desktop there are 2
network drives :
1. user on server
2. shared folder on server
Does this have any thing to do with the Sync, don't expect so but just
wondering.

With method one, at present I have 2 selection. if I deselect the unwant one
and uncheck the When I log on to my computer option and the When I log off
my computer option, would the checked option still get sync ? If it does,
when it will be sync ?

With method two, when the cache is clear and offline will not be available,
when will it be cache again so that offline will be available.

I appology for being so many queries before I action as this client has been
having various problems and I really need to be careful before I tried
anything on any of their machines.

From your description, I need to go round to every laptop and desktop to do
this. Is there a way which I would do when user login or logout that this is
automatically done.

Thank in advance for your patience.

Regards,

Smiley

Hello Smiley,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that you want to make some
share folder do not sync when you logon and log off the computer. If I
have
misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if we
can
resolve this issue:

Method 1:
1. Open windows explorer, click Tool menu, select Synchronize.

2. Click Setup button

3. Under the Synchronize the following checked items box, uncheck the
items
you do not want to sync

4. Uncheck the When I log on to my computer option and the When I log off
my computer option

5. Click OK to finish.

Then, test this issue.

Method 2:
1. Open windows explorer, click Tool menu, select Folder Options.

2. In Folder Options, on the Offline Files tab, press CTRL+SHIFT, and then
click Delete Files. The following message appears:

The Offline Files cache on the local computer will be re-initialized. Any
changes that have not been synchronized with computers on the network will
be lost. Any files or folders made available offline will no longer be
available offline. A computer restart is required.

Do you wish to re-initialize the cache?

3. Click Yes two times to restart the computer.

Then, test this issue.

Method 3:
If you cannot access the Offline Files tab, use this method to
reinitialize
the Offline Files (CSC) cache on the system by modifying the registry. Use
this method also to reinitialize the offline files database/client-side
cache on multiple systems. Add the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache
Key Name: FormatDatabase
Key Type: DWORD
Key Value: 1

Note: The actual value of the registry key is ignored. This registry
change
requires a restart. When the computer is restarting, the shell will
reinitialize the CSC cache and then delete the registry key if the
registry
entry exists.

Warning: All cache files are deleted and unsynchronized data is lost.

If there's anything else I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let
me
know.

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

| Hi there,
|
| Got this client who is on sbs 2003 and have profile redirected. Hence I
only
| expected to have the profile synchronized. However, I found that the
user
| share folder on the server is being synchronized as well.
|
| I 'inherited' this server hence have no idea what had been done on it.
Is
| there anyway which I would find out what kicked off this synchronization
of
| user shared folder and how to stop it.
|
| I have unchecked the checked box for synchronized user shared folder but
| after I logged out and logged back on again. The setting was checked
again.
|
| Anyway expereince this ?
