Offline file (Why hidden???)

Hi Adobe,
Seriously why is all offline downloads so hidden??? everytime i want to download something from the site (Adobe reader, Flashplayer) i need to search through google and read forums until i find the damn offline link (sorry i'm a bit angry for the wasted time). Even for getting to this very forum i had to google it. For the love of god make the links visible and easily accessible.
Regards
/Reza

Hi,
There isn't an Offline Files service in 2008 R2. You may need to install Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit).
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:
Enable Offline Folders on Windows 2008 R2 x64 Workstation

Excel 2010 changes relative link paths to absolute in files synced with Offline Files in Windows 7

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this problem: I have a large number of Excel 2010 and 2003 files in a folder on my file server. This whole folder is also synced to my computer using Offline Files in Windows 7. I have a lot of references between
cells in different Excel files, and all referenced workbooks are physically in the same folder. This all works nicely when I create these files at work - all file paths referenced in the cells are created as relative paths and the documents open correctly.
This is, I understand, the expected and default behavior when Excel creates links. When I edit these files at home, nothing seems odd until I get back to work and sync these files back to the file server. At this point, I discovered that Excel 2010 has, when
I saved the files while away from the corporate network, changed /all/ the cell references in any offline-edited Excel files to point at absolute paths, and that these absolute paths point to somewhere in my %APPDATA% structure. So whenever I come to work
and I try to open an Excel file that I have recently worked with offline, I get a bunch of error messages about referenced files that are missing, although clearly they exist in the same folder as the file I've opened, and I must edit all the file references
again, whereupon they are again created correctly as relative paths (since all files exist in the same folder), which are promptly mangled into absolute C:\....\Offline Files\.....\..... paths whenever I save them at home (and since that works too, I don't
notice it again until I come back to work and the offline files are synced back to the real network location). This seems to be a case of Windows 7's Offline Files not being able to fool Excel 2010 into believing it is working on a file server - apparently
Excel 2010 can see through the fakery and decides on it's own to "fix" the problem (which obviously isn't a problem since the paths are relative to begin with) by saving the paths as absolute paths instead. Yes, really clever, Excel. The exepected behavior
according to MSKB is that links are created as relative paths, so why does it change to absolute whenever Offline Files are involved? I know Offline Files only syncs, it doesn't actually change the files, so I can conclude that Excel is the program at fault
here. Is there a fix for this, or a known workaround? Because frankly, this bug makes it impossible for me to work in any advanced manner with linked Excel files. The sad thing is that this worked perfectly fine with Office 2003 and Windows XP. Is there a
patch for this problem that I might have missed (I am running the latest Service Pack and I get Office updates from Microsoft Update). If not, is there a workaround I can use to prevent Excel from corrupting my links when I edit the files offline?

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.

Drive with Offline Files folder not available for 2 minutes after being connected to the network.

Hi
We use Windows SP1 with one folder from the User HomeDirectory set to be available offline.
The problem we encounter is that when going from Offline to Online via VPN, there is a 2 minutes delay for the drive where the offline folder is located to be available again. Other drives mapped at VPN connection time are available immediately
after we applied KB2705233. Only the drive that contains the folder that we make available offline has this delay issue.
I found out KB2663418 but it does not apply as we have Windows 7 SP1. However the symptoms are the same:
< This issue occurs because the client-side caching (CSC) interface tries to reconnect to the source before the network is actually available. This behavior causes the SMB cache to enter a negative state. In this situation, the CSC interface tries to
reconnect to the source on the next 2-minute retry interval.>
Does one know how to force a check of the connectivity or if there is another fix available ?
thanks in advance
bruno

Hi,
Why KB2663418 didn't applied to your computer? It applied to
Windows 7 Service Pack 1, when used with:
Windows 7 Enterprise
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Ultimate
Did you use Windows 7 Home Basic or Home Premium? However, Windows 7 Home Basic and Premium does not support Offline Files.
Thus please try that hotfix.

Possible to delete Offline Files content for a specific user from the Client Side Cache (CSC) ?.

Hello Everyone,
We would like to implement a script to delete the offline files in the Client Side Cache (CSC) for a nominated user (on Windows 7 x64 enterprise).
I am aware that;
1. We can use a registry value to flush the entire CNC cache (for all users) next time the machine reboots.
2. If we delete the user's local profile it appears that Windows 7 also removes their content from the local CSC.
However, we would like to just delete the CSC content for a particular nominated user without having to delete their local user profile.
In our environment we have many users that share workstations but only use them occasionally. We don't use roaming profile so we would like to retain all the users' local profiles but still delete the CSC content for any users that haven't
logged on in a week.
Any ideas or info would be appreciated !
Thanks, Makes

Hi,
I don't think this is possible.
If you want to achieve it via script, I suggest you post it in official script forum for more professional help:

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.

Problem to make able Offline File Windows 7

Hi, I need your help to solve this problem whit the offline files.
This is the step-by-step of what i done:
I opened the control panel in windows 7
I Clicked on the sync center icon
I Clicked on the manage offline files link
I Clicked on the enable offline files button
I Restarted the pc
But it doesn’t work out: when I go back to the start on the control panel I find the button “Enable Offline Files” instead of the “Disable Offline Files”.
Can someone tell me why? I need to know what I do wrong.
Tks

Hi,
Did you enable offline files by using an administrator account? Just a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
In addition, would you please let me know whether the problematic Windows 7 client computer joined to a domain?
If it’s in domain environment, please contact your administrator and confirm if disable “Allow or Disallow use of the Offline Files feature” policy setting (the path in GPME: Computer Configuration-> Policies-> Administrative Templates->
Network-> Offline Files). If disable this policy setting, Offline Files is disabled and users cannot enable it.
Please also refer to following TechNet article and check if can help you.

If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

2008 R2/ Win7 Offline Files Sync causing High Load on server

Hi Everyone,
I have recently been investigating extremely high CPU Usage from the System Process on my company's main File Cluster.
We managed to track SRV2.sys Threads causing high CPU load within the system process, but was having issues identifying why this was the case.
As per Microsoft's direction via support call, we have installed the latest SRV2.sys Hotfixes, but this does not appear to have allivated the issue we are experiencing. We have also added more CPU and Memory into both nodes, which has not helped either.
We have since managed to create a system dump and is being sent to MS Support for analysis.
I have noticed the following that appears to happen on our cluster:
Whenever our CAD/Design department run certain functions within their apps running on a windows 7 client (apps include MicroStation, Revit, AutoCAD etc) we see a massive spike and flatline of the system process.
We found several users with Windows 7 clients that have Configured Offline File to sync an entire Network Volume (some volumes are 2TB Plus, so would never fit on a users computer anyway, i was quite shocked when I found this). How we spotted this was through
Resource Monitor, the System Process was trolling through all the folders and files in a given volume (it was "reading every single folder). Now, while this was the system process, we could identify the user by using the Open Files view in Server Manager's
Share and Storage Management tool.
I have done a fair bit of research and found that a lot of CAD/Drawing applications in the market have issues with using SMB2 (srv2.sys). When reviewing the products that we use, I noticed that a lot of these products actually recommended disabling SMB2
and reverting to SMB1 on File Server and/or the clients.
I have gone down the path of disabling SMB2 on all Windows 7 clients that have these CAD Applications installed to assist with lowering the load (our other options are to potentially shift the CAD Volumes off our main file cluster to further isolation these
performance issues we have been experiencing.) We will be testing this again tomorrow to confirm that the issue is resolved when mass amounts of CAD users access data on these volumes via their CAD Application.
We only noticed the issue with Offline Files today with trying to sync an ENTIRE Volume. My questions are:
Should Offline File sync's really cause this much load on a File Server?
Would the the size of the volume the sync is trying to complete create this additional load within the system process?
What is the industry considered "Best Practice" regarding Offline Files setup for Volumes which could have up to 1000+ users attached? (My personal opinion is that Offline Files should only be sync of user "Personal/Home" Folders
as they users themselves have a 1 to 1 relationship with this data.)
Is there an easier way to identify what users have Offline Files enabled and "actually being used" (from my understanding, Sync Center and Offline Files are enabled by default, but you obviously have to add the folders/drives you wish to sync)?
If I disable the ability for Offline Files on the volumes, what will the user experience be when/if they try to sync their offline files config after this has been disabled on the volume?
Hoping for some guidance regarding this setup with Offline Files.
Thanks in Advance!
Simon

Hi Everyone,
Just thought I would give an update on this.
While we're still deploying http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2733363/en-us to
the remainder of our Windows 7 SP1 fleet, according to some Network Traces and XPerf that were sent to MS Support, it looks as though the issu with the Offline Files is now resolved.
However, we are still having some issues with High CPU with the System Process in particular. Upon review of the traces, they have found a lot of ABE related traffic, leading them to believe that the issue may also be caused by ABE Access on our File Cluster.
We already have the required hotfix for ABE on 2008 R2 installed (please see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2732618/en-us), although we have it set to a certain value that MS believe may be too high. Our current value is set to "5", as that is the lowest level of any type of permission is set (i.e. where the lowest level of inheritance
is broken).
I think I will mark this as resolved regarding the Offline Files issue (as it did resolve the problem with the Offline Files)...
Fingers crossed we can identify the rest of the high load within the System Process!!!

Disable Offline Files

Am trying to devise a package to push to W2K (fully-patched) workstations
that will disable Offline Files (in Windows Explorer, Tools - Folder
Options - Offline Files tab - uncheck Enable Offline Files). It turns out
that it is not an easy, quick reghack. Additionally, we "lock down" our
users, users are USERS and not administrator-equivalent. We are using
client 4.91 with mixed SP1 and SP2. We use ZEN 3.2 SP3. Server is NetWare
6.5 SP?
The following regkeys are part of the disabling process:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Applets\SysTray]
"Services"=dword:00000017
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\NetCache]
"DefCacheSize"=dword:00000415
"Enabled"=dword:00000000
However, just using those keys don't disable the feature (if you enter
these, it doesn't disable the function - the function stays retained).
I found the following additional information:
C:\Winnt\CSC is a hidden directory, and when you Enable Offline Files, 2
"system" files are created (if they didn't exist) - 00000001 and 00000002.
You can delete 00000002 anytime, but not 00000001 unless you disable
Offline Files. You can not delete 00000001 unless you disable Offline Files.
I can easily push out a reghack for just about any other program with no
issues, but this is something else (and, nevertheless, frustrating).
Problem: Just inserting the regkeys manually, clicking on the REG file, or
pushing the keys via ZEN, does NOT disable the Offline Files option.
QUESTION: Has anyone used ZEN to successfully push out a method to disable
Offline Files, and if yes, what is needed to disable that functionality?
Thank you.

Problem with Offline Files with Cisco NSS322 (firmware 1.3)

Hi
We've recently bought a new NSS322 NAS box to replace an ageing Windows SBS 2003 file server. We've upgraded the firmware to 1.3, and begun moving files across from the Windows server to the new NAS box. However, we're having a problem with Offline Files on the NAS, as attempting to make directories available offline on Windows clients (only tried Vista Business 32-bit so far) we get loads of errors stating that these files cannot be made available offline "because they are in use" (or something like that).
Any suggestions as to why this might be? It doesn't appear to affect all files, but most of them.
I've read somewhere that the "allow oplocks" setting can affect this if disabled, but it is already enabled on the device, so this can't be the cause of the problem.
Any help you could provide would be much appreciated, as at the moment this issue is rendering our NAS unusable as we rely heavily on the offline files functionality.
Thanks in advance.
I have some more information - this appears to be related to the ownership permissions of the files on the NAS. New files created on the NAS can be made available offline, and have the ownership of the person who created the file, however, the files we moved across from the server are all listed as being owned by the user "guest" (I think this may be related to the fact that when we moved the files over, the user was logged in as "admin" rather than a user on the AD Domain). I should be able to resolve this through changing the owner of the files on the NAS, but I can't seem to do this, as I get an "access denied" error each time I try to change ownership.

Is there any chance someone's going to be able to help me with this? I've currently spent £500 on a box that I can't use. If it can't handle Offline Files satisfactorily, it's no use to us.
I've been looking at this a bit more - if appears that each user can make files they have created available offline, but files created by other people cannot - the error message that appears is: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
I'm getting desperate here...can anyone help?

Sorry, but I don1 speak very good english..
I was Try this quick test: As a quick test, you can do a forward all and make sure you can get into the ftp server.
but result it is to same.
I think, that problem is in firmware, becasue I know more people who own this router with to same firmware version (2.0.1.3), and have they to same problem how I.
I have DISABLED FIREWALL on my router and problem hold over.
If I replace router Cisco Linksys WRVS4400N by Ovislink router or any other, issue (problem) already no is.
Configuration in Cisco Linksys WRVS4400N and configurations in any other router is to same, but FTP connection via Cisco Lynksys always will crash.
If I connect to any other FTP server, sometimes requieres from me ftp login and password. It is OK, but if I assign login and password, after connect me to this FTP server, i see folders and files on this server, but without reason connecting fall down.
Few seconds later if I connect to the to same FTP server, sometime either not request login and password and connection fall down.

Allow or Disallow use of the Offline Files feature

Hi all! I am having an issue with Offline files on some new Windows 8.1 clients we have deployed. We wish to have Offline Files disabled for these machines, but using the GPO Setting "Computer config>Policies>Administrative Templates>Network>Offline
Files>All or Disallow the use of the Offline Files feature" is not working as described. We have used this setting as far back as XP and to my knowledge it has always worked. However, on these client systems the setting does disable the button to enable/disable
offline files but does not actually disable offline files itself. The explanation of the setting has this to say:
If you disable this policy setting, Offline Files is disabled and users cannot enable it.
Why isn't this working in Windows 8.1? Thanks!

Hi Matt,
Based on your description, have we restarted the computer? As stated in the explanation sector of the setting, changes to this policy setting do not take effect until the affected computer is restarted.

Offline Files: Win 7 client - Encrypt files only went halfway, now neither?

Hi all. I was just doing some testing with this Offline Files feature. This is my first time testing some of the additional management options for it. Client is Win 7 Pro (64bit), server is 2008 R2 and AD is a basic single-server type design
(a few VMs) at 2008 R2 functional level.
The process seemed simple - a brand new compuer, by default all redirected folders enable Offline Files. I also picked one network share (the user's home folder on the server, not much space usage).
The issue, and this post, is about the Encryption tab (under Sync Cener > Manage Offline Files). I can't recall offhand if I had finished the First-time sync or not, but at some point I clicked the Encrypt Files button. This seemed to progress
for a while, until it popped up a message saying a particular file was already in use by another user. At this point, it dropped out of the encrypting files progress screen.
Now I had the button changed from Encrypt Files to Encrypt Remaining Files. I took this to mean it would simply resume where it left off once clicked. Instead, I click it and nothing happens, no progress screen. I rebooted, camne back into
Sync Center, and it showed a status of Ready for first-time sync. Unsure of why since it had previously said "last sync on date/time", I still went to the Encryption tab.
Long story short, when I first entered this Encryption tab, only hte Encrypt button was available, the Unencrypt button was greyed out. Now when I go in, each tmie, after some reboots, it's always both but they alternate, one saying encrypt or unencrypt
remaining files. S it's like it i scaught halfway between fully encrypted or not encrypted at all.
I rebooted, looked at Disk Usage, and it says 0MB. So I did one more "first time sync" and let that go to completion before anything else. Now it says 1.31GB which is perhaps about right. Now, I see Encrypt Files, and Unencrypt
Remaining Files. I click the latter button, I see a progress screen for a little bit, then that disappers and I still see both buttons in the same state.
With this being my first time with this Offline Files stuff I am thinking this is very non-robust. There should be a way to just start over, a "clear all" type of button. Can anybody advise on how I should proceed?
Thank you.

Well it seemed to have worked after all, but it took until the following day to show. That is, I followed the steps to make that registry key, rebooted and so forth, didn't see any changes, rebooted more, no changes still. The following day I
went to look at it and it had cleared itself up. It seems the Offline Files feature just needs some general improvement but that's eomthing I can't control. Perhaps on the next test system I run into this won't be a problem.
By the way I later learned that the reason this "file in use" error occurred during encryption (thus caused the encryption to mess up and not work anymore) was simply because it was in use by that user on another computer logged in. This same thing
causes sync errors when sync'ing, if the user is on another machine using that file. So again this sounds like MS just needs to beef up the management functionality of this feature I guess.

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.
