Offline Files Fail To Synchronize
Mar 23, 2008
I have my documents redirected to the server and therefore Vista has an offline copy of these files.
I notice that some files are failing to synchronize automatically, but will synchronize if I manually perform it.
For example:
An 767KB xls file changed in Vista requires a manual synchronization.A 1KB txt file will synchronize immediately.
Both files are in the same folder.
I also notice that Sync Center rarely updates the Offline Files status. The Last sync date could be days ago. It will update if I manually synchronize, but it won't update automatically.
If the user logs off or on, the xls file still won't synchronize. I notice this on both Vista RTM and SP1 beta machines.
XP machines will update the server share immediately.

I am running Vista Ultimate SP1 on my laptop. The Z: drive maps to an Iomega StorCenter NAS. I can read/write folders, files, etc. with no problem. When I disconnect from the network, I can still see the Z: drive. The folders that I made available offline are accessible and there are placeholders (folder has an X on it) for folders that I did not make available offline.
When I connect back to the network, I would do a reboot and I can see all of the files on the Z: drive again. Given this, it appears that Offline Files is enable. Or, is it? In the Control Panel / Offline Files / General tab, I clicked on "Enable Offline Files" and I got the message below............

Machine is part of a domain. Everything worked fine using XP. Upgraded to Vista, and now Offline Files is not working. Tried SP1, same problem. File server is Windows Server 2003 Cluster. The "Offline Availability" says "Not available". What does that mean? The user does login to another machine and access these files. But there's like 500 files and all files and folders say "Not available" for Offline Availability. Other users (in same Org Unit) can log into that same machine and Offline Files works fine. I've tried removing the profile on that computer and re-creating it, but same problem. Originally the Org Unit for these users didn't allow access to Control Panel. Could that have something to do with it, since Sync Center and Offline Files features are under Control Panel? But even after allowing Control Panel, still same problem.

I have a notebook with Vista-Ultimate on it.I have a Intel SS4000-E NAS unit in my network on wich all of my data resides.I have marked several files/folders for 'allways available offline' but when I'm offline I can't open the files (Error: 0x800710FE: This file is currently not available for use on this computer). Syncing also gives an
error for each and every file in the Sync-Center 'The process cannot access
the file because it is being used by another process' while I'm the only
user on the system at this time and it's NOT in use.I've read that offline files may not work correctly with NAS units, I've also seen some postings about making changes to the 'samba' software ? But I don't know how to do that or if the SS4000 even uses Samba.I'm not sure how to proceed, but I really, really, really need my offline
files.

I use Vista Business with all current updates on a laptop. On a server (NAS, Samba V3.0.26a), are the application files in the standard operation. To work with the files works always smoothly. In the notebook, I have some files declared as offline files and thesynchronization works smoothly. At the offline files is a yellow circle with green arrows. In the Control Panel / Offline Files / Disk use corresponds to thememory used by the offline files correct. When I use the notebook separate from the network, the offline files displayed colored. Up to here everything is still okay! If I try to open an offline file it is not to open or at favorites the Internet link is not available :eek: If you look at the properties it shows the following: size: 323MB size on Disk: 20KB :confused: Why are files missing? What is in the offline files defect?

Once redirected folders using Folder Redirection for My Documents is setup, Users on Windows Vista SP1 get's access denied, to all 'Offline' content, and files created/modified can't be synced to the server,sync enter reports access denied.The file server is running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition R2 with Service Pack 2 installed.The share allow use of Offline Files, and share permissions are Everyone FC.I let Folder Redirection populate folders for each user in the root directory of the share. (Following Guidelines)This issue seems to be common, but there doesn't seem to be any solution to the issue.

I am currently testing Vista in our XP Pro/2003 environment. The XP clients perform perfectly in the same setup. We are using Netgear Managed Switches. To give you an idea of what I mean by slow/fine. When working offline, Word 2007 (or example) will open in less than 2 secs. When working online it is likely to take at least 10 secs. The HDD is busy continuously, slowing performance to a crawl. Something else I have observed is that this High Disk Activity does not start until all of the files that the user has chosen to be offline have been downloaded into the cache as observed by Network
Utilization in task manager. I have a feeling the problem may lay in Vista's background sync? All users are using roaming profiles (Stored on a seperate server) and Folder redirection for all profile folders.

Microsoft has spent a lot of work on updating Offline Files in Windows Vista with the new Sync Center. For those of you that do not know or use Offline Files, they are simply a local replica of a file that is on a network share. These replicas allow you to work on files you have set to be available offline even if you are not connected to say your corporate network or home server. You can manage all of the offline file settings in one place, the Sync Center.
The only problem I have with the new offline files is the massive green icon that is appended on top of any file that is setup to sync as an offline file. This provides a nice visual clue but often blocks a big portion or almost the entire icon depending on your explorer view. This is unnecessary and since you can manage your offline file from the new Sync Center, it is no longer really needed to find out what files are setup to be synced.
Follow these steps to disable the offline files logo from appearing on your files:
Click on the Start Menu, key in regedit and hit Enter........

I have my laptop connecting to a server under AD control. My laptop is not joined to AD by design. I set up some files using 'Sync' to have them available to me offline. My AD password has since changed and I cannot connect to the server to have access to other files set up for offline access. When I attempt to remap the drive, I get an error stating I am already connected using the credentials provided. This is not true, since I cannot access the server. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

how to actually use the windows Sync center to synchronize a folder with a USB device. I've seen a lot of similar questions on online forums yet no one seems to answer them. Maybe Microsoft assumed that their software would be so user friendly that they don't need to include instructions on how to synchronize folders, I don't know. But if anyone knows how to do it

I have a laptop and a desktop connected to a home network. I have the same mail accounts on both computers.
Incoming mail is not a problem, both computers receive the same mail. But I want my SENT mail to appear on both computers. How can I synchronize so both sent and received mail are the same on both computers?

Having transferred all the data onto my other computer (both with Vista) how do I proceed to synchronize the data on both? The Sync Centre does not provide any information and no amount of clicking will provide any. Are there any write ups on this matter?

I am running Vista Home Premium on both my desk and laptop computers. On my desktop computer, I store all my documents and data inside the "Steve" folder which was automatically created when I first got the computer. I'd like to be able to transfer everything from my Desktop Steve folder into my laptop so I can have the up-to-date files with me when I travel.
But 99% of the files in the Steve folder don't normally change and I don't keep track of each and every file that I work with on my desktop computer, and re-copying the entire contents of the folder takes hours. Is there a way to just copy over those files that have been worked on and been modified?? (Even when I'm not sure which ones they are?) Or alternatively, is there some better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? Perhaps both computers share the same Steve folder??

This morning I synchronized my Vista 32 Business SP1 laptop with my XP Home SP3 desktop. After finishing some work on the XP desktop I want to re-synchronize data for tomorrow's presentation with the Vista laptop and all I get is an error message with a message that my Server Service is not started. I have no idea why Microsoft thinks that every home user has their own personal network administrator, but anyway, I don't.
So I checked in Services.msc and, yes, Server Services are running. Just to check I paused and resumed, without any change. A ping was good (6 ms) and net view sees all connected machines. I go to the XP desktop and download some files from the laptop without problems. I try accessing the desktop from the Vista laptop and have no connection whatsoever.

For me, a Synchronize All often disconnects from the internet after checking my only email server, but before checking any of my newsgroups servers. I found the Accounts screen for my email account; nothing is entered there. All the email and newsgroups accounts have a checkmark before Include this account when checking for new messages.
However, when doing a Synchronize All, I sometimes but not always get an error message after the check of the email server, but before the check of any of the newsgroups servers, saying there is no longer any connection to the internet and asking if I want to try the connection again. When I tell it I do, the connection is usually restored within a few seconds.

I just configured Vista's Windows mail to hook up with my gmail account via IMAP. I have my emails stored in a folder structure (gmail calls them "labels"), which was recreated and all the emails downloaded. So far, so good. But then WinMail downloaded all 1700 emails again in the All Mail folder. I bought a small SDD drive for my new machine and do not want all the emails stored locally twice. How do I configure WinMail to synchronize my folders, but not the All Mail folder, and then I can delete the All Mail folder? Or are there any other options I can use?

From a self-taught user.
The instruction reads:- Navigate to a Folder, right-click the directory and chose "Always available offline"
When I navigate to a Folder in My Documents and right-click on it I do not get "Always available offline" as an option.
How do I get the Directory, so that I can proceed with the right-click on the Folder and get the desired result.

I used Favorites alot in Windows explorer (not IE). It saved me huge amounts of navigation time. It is really rotten that it is not available. As a matter of fact, the whole hidden navigation, lack of easily viewable menus only slows me down and makes working with Windows Vista very, very, frustrating. At least put offline Favorites back in Windows Explorer. Favorites should not just be an Internet feature. When I want to dive 7 levels down to a particular folder, I want to do it right now, not 8 clicks from now.

I had a problem with Adobe Acrobat that has been resolved. I have a new 'Adobe Acrobat Distiller Printer' installed and all is well. I am trying to get rid of the old one and it says "Deleting - offline" and stays that way even after rebooting.
I can highlight id and press delete or right click delete or Alt+File->Delete but it doesn't go away.

I have a desktop that I upgraded from XP Pro to Vista Ultimate and a laptop running on Windows XP Pro. I recently upgraded both devices from Office 2003 to Office 2007. Before I upgraded the desktop to Vista, I copy the Outlook.pst back and forth the two machines to synchronize my e-mail. Now that the desktop is running on Vista and the laptop still running XP Pro, can I do the same thing to synchronize my e-mail or is there a better solution in synchronizing the pst files.
