Folder Redirection and Offline Files

I have Users documents and Favorites redirected using GPO Folder redirection. So everyone has their data redirected to the server. With the feature Always available offline. Then My raid crashed and that Drive become offline. after 24 HRS everyone got
their Local copy of their files back.
Now Why did it take around that much time. The server that used to host the Files was down for 2-3 hrs. Later on I had the server up without the Raid.
Also 2 users reported that they can see their files but its greyed out with an x and can't access it. Found out they had Always available Offline unchecked . Not sure how did that happened.
So now I am going to add a new server with the same name and will follow direction to create the Folder and share it according
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274443/en-us
Q 1 What will happen when that Shared folder comes online where user used to redirected their files and now its empty. will all the local files get redirected
Q 2 If it doesn't work how can I bring users local copy available right away with out waiting for so long. Does it have any thing to do with the server being offline or online ?
Thanks

Hi,

Q 1
What will happen when that Shared folder comes online where user used to redirected their files and now its empty. will all the local files get redirected
Does this mean that what will happen after we create a new share path with the same path name as the previous failed one? If it’s this case, based on my knowledge, local files
won’t get redirected, for they are just caches and the real files are on the failed share path.
>>If it doesn't work how can I bring users local copy available right away with out waiting for so long. Does it have any thing to do with the server being offline
or online ?
As far as I know, we need to access the original share path and sync our offline files with it.

Folder redirection with Offline files enabled - Can I change the location of the locally cached files?

I have a 2012 r2 server setup with folder redirection and offline files enabled. All this works perfectly.
As you probably know, the local cache for offline files is stored at c:\windows\csc\v2.0.6\namespace\servername\
The problem I have run into is that one user (who cannot be told to delete files cough ceo cough) has a very large documents folder, and a small SSD drive for his C drive. So the offline files are filling up his SSD. He wants all his files to be synced,
so decreasing the max disk usage is also not an option.
What I would like to do is move the Offline files to his D drive which is a large drive, however I have been unable to find any official method for doing this. Is there any provision to change this?
If not, would it work to move the entire \servername\ path to the d drive and then create a junction at c:\windows\csc\v2.0.6\namespace\servername\ that points to d:\servername\?
Thanks,
Travis

Hi,
The following article is for Windows Vista but it should work at least in Windows 7.
How to change the location of the CSC folder by configuring the CacheLocation registry value in Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937475
Meanwhile creating a symbolic link should also work like:
mklink /d "C:\Windows\CSC" "D:\CSC"
Note: It will create d:\csc folder so you do not need to manually create it.
Note 2: As mentioned above, you may need to re-sync the offline files. Personally I also think robocopy will not work.

Removing redirected {{My Documents}} and offline files

We have a situation where several of our laptop users, about 100, have their {{My Documents}} folder redirected to a network share and that share is made available offline to them. I have three things I need to do:
1. redirect their {{My Documents}} folder back to the default location
2. Turn off the available offline for these folders on the network share
3. Move the data that is in the network share to the local PC in the default location for {{My Documents}}
For #1 I can change the registry to point back to the default locations.
For #2 I think I can use the group policy under Computer Configuration > policies > Administrative Template > Network > Offline Files. But I'm not sure which setting(s) to use
For #3 I think I can use the group policy under Computer Configuration > policies > Administrative Template > Network > Offline Files with settings for synchronize all offline files when logging on or off.
Does anyone have any ideas how to accomplish these tasks?

> For #1 I can change the registry to point back to the default locations.
Only if you have a way to copy the data... Unless you use FR to redirect
back, you have to take care of copying existing data on your own.
Why not creating a GPO that simply redirects to the local profile?
> For #2 I think I can use the group policy under Computer Configuration >
> policies > Administrative Template > Network > Offline Files. But I'm
> not sure which setting(s) to use
You can disable offline availability on the server side (in the share
settings). Simple manual task :)
Or "do not make redirected folders automatically available offline" -
but this won't help since they ARE already available offline.
> For #3 I think I can use the group policy under Computer Configuration >
> policies > Administrative Template > Network > Offline Files with
> settings for synchronize all offline files when logging on or off.
If it works, yes. But this is only supported up to XP, not since Vista
and above...
The best solution I think is a script that leverages the
win32_offlinefiles provider to check for items that are not in sync,
then triggers a sync and reports success/failure to a log or a database.
But that's way out of the scope of a GP forum.

Windows 7 and Offline Files - Sync at logoff

All,
I have set up folder redirection in my organisation (testing purposes) The problem I am facing is Windows 7 will not automatically sync offline files back to the share.
There is a gpo for Windows XP to do this when a user is either is logging off on on. I am trying to accomplish the same when a user logs off and a script can be run to initiate a sync.
Please help.
This is the VBS script I am using, but does nothing when I run it. IS there something missing? A better solution?

Hi,
Please know that Offline Files in Windows 7 uses Bitmap Differential Transfer. Bitmap Differential Transfer tracks which blocks of a file in the local cache are modified while you are working offline and then sends only those blocks to the server. In Windows
XP, Offline Files copies the entire file from the local cache to the server, even if only a small part of the file was modified while offline.
How the synchronization in Windows 7 Offline Files works

That should be the cause of the issue that your script didn't work.
Considering that the issue should be related to the script, I suggest to post the question on Script Center forum for further help.

Web Premium CS4 and Offline Files Issue

My system: Multiple notebooks, laptops running Windows 7 Ultimate, all on a Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 network.
I have My Documents, My Pictures, and My videos folders rehomed to the server via group policy, and when I unplug from the network these folders are available to the disconnected laptop/pc via offline files (and the offline file cache).
My issue: When I install Web Premium CS4 on any machine, if my laptop/pc is disconnected from the network, the offline folders disappear, although the offline file management snap-in tab shows the cache is stored, and when I plug back in to the network, the folders will soon appear. When the folders are visible, the offline status shows "Always available offline".
When I uninstall CS4, the trouble does not get fixed, but a barebones install from a disk image prior to CS4 installation fixes the problem, making me think adobe somehow changes network/registry settings to accomodate their own cache, or maybe something to do with the Adobe Bridge (just guessing). This happens on both 64 bit and 32 bit versions of Win 7.
I have duplicated this issue on 3 different laptops, all with the same result. I opened a case with Adobe, but my case was immediately closed saying it was a Microsoft/network issue. In fact, I would guess the person who worked the case dismissed this out of hand, the case got closed so quickly.
Is there someone out there that has run into this issue?
Thank you,
Bob

Was this issue ever resolved? We are in the process of deploying design premium to around 1000 faculty members, and are experiencing the same issue. I wont know till the end of the day whether i can say 100% that its a CS 4 issue but im running a test on 3 laptops with slightly different configs.
All laptops are win7 enterprise, with folder redirection enabled, same symptoms are occuring.
As a test, i have been testing the offline files at different stages in the laptop bundle deployment to see where it starts to fail. I sync mydocs, undock laptop and then login to check offline files. I then wipe the CSC clean and move on to next step in deployment, and repeat check.
We are at the last step in deployment, adobe design premium CS4, and there have been no failures with offline files so far. After it finishes deploying ill report on my findings.
We have a ticket open with microsoft and our sysadmin has been working with them for a few days to resolve the issue, and so far they have been baffled, escalating the ticket to a debug team. We have not yet mentioned that we suspect CS4 to be the issue, as they would probabily pass the buck and blame adobe, (similar to the OP saying adobe is blaming microsoft); we want them to fully investigate first.
Sincerely,
A Frustrated Team

X220 and Offline Files issue.

My manager uses the offline files feature quite a lot and now she has moved to an X220 with Win 7 Pro 64-bit, however some days when she logs in she notices the sync icon isn't in the tray. When you go into offline files it says its enable but not active a restart will activate it. However rebooting leads to the same thing, instead I go into the services page and find that although set to auto the offline file service is not running, I click start and it kicks back into life.
Now I have viewed the event viewer from when the computer starts and the Offline file service first starts then gchanges state to auto (delayed) then changes back to auto before finally saying that the service has stopped. All of these are info events as opposed to error or warning events. I know some services don't run even when set to auto as they are not needed however without offfline files service running no syncing is done and you also lose the "Always available offline" option when you right click a folder/file.
If anyone has any ideas as to whyt the service is stopping that would be great.
Mark

It is caused by a bug in "RapidBoot" which is software that Lenovo preloads. You can either (a) uninstall RapidBoot or (b) upgrade to the latest version which fixes this bug. I recommend (a) - you won't miss RapidBoot by uninstalling it. Sorry for your inconvenience.

How do I... (1) "play" a ppt; (2) "see" my sub-folders and their files in "Docs To Go" or "File Manager"?

This is written for the Playbook blog writer in the hope that he will see it here and post a blog answer. However, a reply from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks.
[2 questions about PPBB OS 2.0+]
Hi. Thanks for your very informative blog. I would appreciate it if you would consider writing blog tips to answer the following:
1) Why can't I organize my files in "Documents" or "File Manager" to "see" them in their sub-folders?
BBPB allows me to create SUB folders in the Documents folder, through my pc's access to the "Documents" folder in the Playbook. However, then I cannot "see" these created sub-folders on my BBPB after I disconnect my BBPB from my PC.
All the files I downloaded into these "sub" folders end up all together in the file list in "DOCS TO GO", either in "Documents" or "Music" or "Video" or "Pictures" ---- but these files are NOT separated into the sub-folders I created. The same thing happens in "FILE MANAGER" i.e. all files on the Playbook are in ONE place only.
Is the Playbook OS ever going to allow one to view sub-folders and what is in them, other than using the pc to do it? For example, it would be desirable to put all my ppt files into one folder.
2) How do I "play" a PPT file in the BBPB?
The BBPB "User Guide" says that I can "view, edit, or play" Powerpoint Presentations. However, although it describes how to "view" or "edit" individual slides, it does not say how to "play" ("run") a slideshow. How do you "play" a self-running slideshow?
For example, in Windows, you can click "play.bat" (in a saved "presentation cd" folder on a cd or USB stick) to run the ppt with sound and pictures saved in that folder (you don't need the Powerpoint program itself for this, since you are using the "pptview.exe" file in the same folder to "play" it). However, after downloading all the files in this "presentation cd" folder to the Playbook, I could only see one of them, the ppt file itself ---- and there is no icon in the Playbook to "play" the slideshow, it seems. Help?!
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First, I use an app called "File Browser" to view those subfolders.
As for running a powerpoint, I can open a ppt file and it runs in Documents to go. Next to the "Close" button there are three icons. The third one runs the ppt file as a slideshow.

OS X, SMB and offline files

Hi all!
I'd like to ask how you handle the following with OS X Mavericks:
Assume you have a hierarchical storage management (HSM) system (also called "file system archiving" by some people) and OS X clients access this via, say, the SMB protocol. Now the challenge is that some files in your HSM are offline, which means they are not on disk but some other media, usually tape. OS X features like Quick Look trigger a recall of these files which is typically not a good idea because many files have to be read from tape which (a) takes time, and (b) questions HSM completely, because recalling the files will fill up your disk cache. Things get even worse if multiple users trigger file recalls.
Now SMB knows a file attribute called ATTR_OFFLINE, see e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc246322.aspx which is used to indicate that a file is offline. However, it looks like Quick Look and friends do not check this flag. I'm aware of tools like ArchiveConnect, see e.g.
http://www.grouplogic.com/enterprise-file-sharing/mac-file-archiving-system/ that claim to improve the interoperability of OS X and HSM systems.
Any experience with this tool or other means to solve the problem? I'd like to see OS X to be more "HSM aware" which means, e.g., it cares about the offline attribute via SMB.
Best regards, Dirk

Hi Richard,
We are looking at file archiving here and have the same potential issues. We haven't evaluated this product, but it claims to solve the problem:

Windows 8 Folder Redirection/offline files not working

I am trying to deploy 4 brand new HP Laptops running windows 8 Professional into a windows 2008 domain however folder redirection is not working
These users have folder redirection enabled via group policy and this works fine under their old laptops in windows 7
For windows 8 I see an error in the event log :
Error 7023 - The offline files service terminated with the following error : the system cannot find the path specified
I also get this error if I manually try to start the offline files service.
This is happening on all 4 brand new laptops. All latest available updates installed.

The error as you have already observed is a critical error blocking the service from running. So that must be about the computer software configuration.
You claim brand new, latest updates etc. - however to use i.e. folder redirection, gpo's etc. you're modifying the software configuraton. I.e. not quite brand new or unchanged (except for those may be important changes, guess those machines are indeed brand
new or just bought ... however still in change as any other software managed machines)
For some reason could be corruption of system configuration, but how? Unlike coincidence of 3 of 4 computers failing to start that services? I.e. have you done any changes to offline files etc, scripts or some stuff with gpo's.
Try exploring the Windows log and take a look at the detail for the error events.
Use process monitor from Microsoft to trace what happens when you try to start the Windows service ...
Just tips for determining the bug ...
Out-of-the-box this should not happen ... for folder redirection and offline files ... it's actually the Windows client going to get those files ... so take a look at the client and try to trace the bug.
My best guess is something is changed on the client - and your customized system or software is doing it. Or something wrong with the configuration. I.e. if you have relocated the CSC cache ...
In my experience the best way to debug this problem is to use Process Monitor ... and i.e. come up with a fix based on the observations i.e. if you have relocated the csc cache to some place where it is actually not available or incorrectly configured
(i.e. take a look at the Result column and looked for failed operations in context with CSC cache operations)
If you don't know how to do this - don't relocate the CSC cache ... (i.e. if you did this to conserve space on i.e. your SDD's with i.e. smaller capacity than legacy-HD). The real problem is the Folder Redirection Client on the Window Client going to
pin the entire folder hierarchy of the users workspace, i.e. documents. Either move files out of that area or use group policy to disable pining entire user "storage area". Microsoft should make the Folder Redirection Client more flexiable, i.e. add option
to exclude part of folder hierarchy. But you can do this by using gpo to disable folder redirection auto-cache of all files - and then instead have users explicitly pin their mobile folders. However for some folders like favorites, desktop and so on you can
actually use batch and wmic to set pin of some folders containing usually less data using a startup script and gpo. That Works ... and simulates i.e. excluding the stored data in user libraries like documents, videos, music ...
... anyway added this based on a "suspension" on what you are really trying to obtain ... but the solution is not to move the CSC cache to aqquire more space, i.e. a user can put 1 TB in their videos ... the solution is to program the Folder Redirection
Client differently ... untill Microsoft add that functionality.

Offline Files and folder redirection technology

Is DFS-R used for Offline file sync between Windows 7 and a Windows 2008 servers? i am trying to see if i can move my redirected folders to a EMC NAS device. But i am thinking i need SMB and DFS-R for this?
I cant much material about the technology using for offline files or folder redirection
Can someone help?

Hi,
You can safely use DFS Replication and Offline Files together in scenarios when there is only one user at a time who writes to the files. This is useful for users who travel between two branch offices and want to be able to access their files at either
branch or while offline. Offline Files caches the files locally for offline use and DFS Replication replicates the data between each branch office.
Do not use DFS Replication with Offline Files in a multi-user environment because DFS Replication does not provide any distributed locking mechanism or file checkout capability. If two users modify the same file at the same time on different servers,
DFS Replication moves the older file to the DfsrPrivate\ConflictandDeleted folder (located under the local path of the replicated folder) during the next replication.
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

Folder redirection configured in GPO does not create Documents folder and does not redirect

Hi
Another Folder Redirect-post - sorry for that, but I could not find an answer for my problem so far: even with consulting many threads here...
We have an existing environment under Windows XP and want to move away from that. Now I ran into troubles with folder redirection...
The following folder- and permission structure exists so far:
\\<server>\<Users$-share>: This is the base folder for all users-directories
-> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / Users: Read&Execute, only this folder
-> Share-permissions: Authenticated users: Full control
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>: base folder for the specific user
-> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / User: Change, all permissions inherited onwards
-> Giving only change permission prevent further problems with self-called "advanced users"... ;-)
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\profil.V2: Profile directory of the user
-> Of course here the permissions are set by the system: override the predefined permission
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten: Atcual Home directory of the user
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Documents: Suposed Documents directory of the user
Now I am going to Server 2012 and Windows 8.1, configured the GPO to redirect Documents folder into the above mentioned:
GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
Setting: Standart - redirects all folders to the same path
Destination folder: Copy to base directory of the user
I apply policy to the user, log out and in - it doesn't work, no folder Documents created in my home-folder, Folder Documents still configured at C:\Users\<user>\Documents
A very special point:
I also do Redirection of the My Pictures-folder: Define it to follow the Documents folder. Funnily that one works and creates and configures \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Pictures
-> So in my eyes, it should work!
Then: I want to do the folder redirection without Offline Files, due to the fact, that our users work with dynamically assigned virtual desktops, which are been cleaned everytime a user logs off a machine. Therefore synchronizing doesn't make sense...
I just cannot see, why this redirection does not work :-(
Thank you very much for any help!
Kind regards
David

Hi David,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm the OS version of the Windows Server which you used to
configure folder redirection? Based on your description, did you mean that those users (who will be applied folder redirection settings) logged on Windows XP client computer?
When you configure the folder redirection setting in Document Properties (path:
User Configuration-> Policies-> Windows Settings-> Folder Redirection-> Documents), please check if you checked “Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating system” in Settings
tab. As below picture shows.
à
GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
à•Setting: Standart
- redirects all folders to the same path
à•Destination
folder: Copy to base directory of the user
Would you please provide a screenshot of those settings you describe? Meanwhile, please summarily describe
that how you configure. For example, where this GPO link to? Or any other. It will help me to understand clearly. Thanks for your understanding.
In addition, please use
gpresult command to check if the folder redirection group policy was really applied.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Windows 7 Offline files behaviour - automatically making 'shortcutted' files available

I am a sysadmin with a few Windows 7 Professional machines in our network.
The current setup for our users is folder-redirection, with offline files enabled for users with laptops (some of which are said Win7 users).
This works fine, just, any shortcut files that are in the users profile (that are made available offline) make the target of the shortcut available offline aswell. Though I see the benefit of this, it is not a behaviour we want.
For example if user 'dave' has a shortcut on \\server1\users\dave\desktop, that points to \\server2\files\shortcut_target.doc (i.e. a directory we don't want to have offline file behaviour with) - it will make both files available offline.
I'm positive it is related to shortcuts, as the files are always shortcutted somewhere in the users profile and the majority of these files come from word's recent documents folder, and other similar folders for different program.
If theres anyway to change this behaviour please let me know, even if it is just a registry edit.
Thanks Dan

Hi,
“For example if user 'dave' has a shortcut on
\\server1\users\dave\desktop, that points to
\\server2\files\shortcut_target.doc (i.e. a
directory we don't want to have offline file behaviour with) - it will make both files available offline.”
Based on my knowledge, Windows only synchronous the shortcut in this offline folder. What do you mean “it will make both files available offline.”
For further research, I suggest you may enable sync log and try to repro this problem. Then move to Event Viewer -> Applications and Service Logs ->
Microsoft -> Windows -> OfflineFiles, right click SyncLog and chose “Save all event as…” to export these event log. Here is my e-mail:
[email protected]. You could contact me, then
I would assist you for this problem.
Please refer following to enable SyncLog:
How to enable the "SyncLog Channel"
===========================================
Offline Files defines four event channels through the Windows Event Viewer.
The channels are listed under the following hierarchy in the left-most pane of the viewer,
Event Viewer -> Applications and Service Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> OfflineFiles
If you see only one channel in the event viewer it will be the "Operational" channel. The remaining channels are known as Analytic or Debug
channels. The Windows Event Viewer does not display these additional channels by default. They must first be enabled.
To enable Analytic and Debug logs, highlight the "OfflineFiles" entry in the Event Viewer left pane. Select the "View" menu and check the
option titled "Show Analytic and Debug Logs".
While four channels are defined, only two are currently in use in Windows 7.
SyncLog Channel
================
This channel is of the "Analytic" type as defined by the Windows Event viewer. Because this is an "Analytic" channel, you must enable the
channel before events are generated to the associated log. To enable this channel, right click on the "SyncLog" entry in the left pane of the Event Viewer. Select the "Enable Log"
option.
This may also be configured using the channel’s Properties page, also accessible through the Event Viewer. When you no longer want
to collect SyncLog events, disable the channel using the same method ("Disable Log" option).
The purpose of this channel is to generate events specific to synchronization activities within the Offline Files service.
This may be helpful when questions arise about why a particular item is or is not being synchronized or questions about why a particular
sync operation is failing.

Files won't delete from desktop with folder redirection

I have folder direction set up with a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard x64 Primary Domain Controller and a 2012R2Stdx64 File and Print Server that is the backup domain controller. 1 single user out of 20 can't delete files from his desktop.
Folder redirection is configured via GPO and offline files are enabled.
When you go to delete a file it says "Item Not Found" "This is no longer located in \\HSI-FPS01\Users\My Documents\Desktop Verify the item's location and try again."
However, the item still persists in showing, both in the server folder and the desktop however you can't open it.
There are no sync errors, I've done re-syncs. I've also rebooted, refreshed the desktop, etc.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
Only one user have this issue?
I suggest you create a new user account to test folder redirection.
Please refer to this artcile about folder redirection:
