Windows 8.1 Client Side Caching - Is it possible to specify the location of the offline file cache?

Hi,
Is there any approved way to change the location of the offline files cache in Windows 8.1? I'm asking before moving client systems from Windows 7 where a registry change was required - is this still the way to go?
I believe that if the default user-profile directory is moved, this causes problems for updates to Windows 8/8.1 now, is the same true if you move CSC?
Just a bit of background. The systems I want to do this for have smallish SSD boot drives with a higher capacity spinning disk. The machines are members of a domain with Folder Redirection setup. I could setup group policies to disable
caching of some of the larger directories or even disable CSC entirely on the machines which have an SSD boot drive, but would prefer not to do so.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your descryption, In windows 7, the tool is migwiz.exe, namely the Windows Easy Transfer, you can modify the registry in the way listed in the post below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bbf5890c-b3d7-4b38-83d8-d9a5e025fb2b/how-to-move-clientside-caching-to-a-new-location?forum=w7itproinstall
In Windows 8, Windows easy transfer is also a built in tool to migrate user profiles and user settings, but as for the offline transfer, I suggest to use the USMT for your situation.
Because with USMT you can specify the folder that you want to migrate the files to, by using an offline.xml you can set the path just as the sample listed below:
<offline>
     <winDir>
          <path>C:\Windows</path>
          <path>D:\Windows</path>
          <path>E:\</path>
     </winDir>
     <failOnMultipleWinDir>1</failOnMultipleWinDir>
</offline>

How to Move Offline Files Cache in Windows 7?

I'm using the offline files feature in Win7 (much better implementation, btw - kudos!) and I've run into a problem: the CSC is using up all the drive space on C:\. I'd like to move the CSC to D:\, however I've been unable to do so.
I've seen this posted here previously (2/2009), however the response was to follow the instructions from Vista (using migwiz.exe). When I launch migwiz.exe, I have no option of selecting the offline files as outlined in the Vista instructions (http://blogs.technet.com/filecab/archive/2006/12/12/moving-the-offline-files-cache-in-windows-vista.aspx).
Are there any other ways of doing this?
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have found a way to move the offline cache in W7, but it means you have to reset your existing offline files, give the new location, and resync the folders in the new location.
Here is what to do (if you haven't synchronised any offline files yet, for exemple after a clean install, you can start directly in step 3):
0) Make sure your existing offline files are synchronised with the server, as you are going to lose ALL the offline copies and you don't want to lose any new/modified files. Make a backup if you're not sure and if the files are important.
1) reset the content of the old cache by adding the following command in a batch file and running it (of course you can add the parameter in the registry manually, but it's quite handy to have the batch ready whenever you need to reset the cache):
REG ADD "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC\Parameters" /v FormatDatabase /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
2) Reboot, the added key will be detected, all the content of the cache will be deleted, as well as the key itself (it only resets once)
3) Add the following registry key in the same HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC\Parameters section of the registry:
Type: REG SZ (string)
Name: CacheLocation
Value: the new location in NT format, ie \??\d:\csc if you want to create the new cache in d:\csc
4) Create the folder in the new location
5) Reboot (not sure if it's necessary, but better safe than sorry)
6) Reselect the files/folders you want to sync offline, and they should sync in the new location.
7) If you want to, you can delete the old cache location in c:\windows\csc by following the end of the vista procedure linked in the first post (using takeown etc)
It worked for me (Win7 RTM x86), let us know if it works for you...
Obviously it won't help if you don't want to / can't resynchronise, but if you're starting from scratch or don't mind resyncing from scratch, it's a good workaround.
EDIT: if you sync a lot of files and get a lot of errors, try to reset your offline files again following the above procedure (steps 1-2), disable offline files, reboot, enable offline files, reboot, and resync your files. Again, it worked for me...

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.

HT4236 Is it possible to change the location of the ipod Photo Cache?

Is it possible to change the location of the ipod Photo Cache? At the moment it is created in my photos folder in win 8 which saves to my SkyDrive so I have duplicates and wasted space on the drive.
I would like to change the location to a location which is not saveed in the cloud.

The logo is in it's own table cell - so css will not work (can't change the order of table columns using css). You could possibly replace the logo image on the server with a single white pixel (create a custom skin if you want), then add a new background image to the table (class is HeaderTopBar) aligned right and no repeat using CSS. You would need to pad out that right side somehow to make it align (the last cell has class HeaderPageStatus and contains the status image).

Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
Thanks...

Can I change the location of the Info popup window?

Whenever I double click an event to edit or add information, it appears at the far upper left corner of my screen. I have to move my mouse that way to edit it; on a 27 inch screen that is very inconvenient. If I move the window and close it, the next one I open is back in the corner again. Is there a way to change the location where the info window pops up? I'd rather have it close to the appointment in my calendar!
TIA

SG will probably have more to say about his reply, but in the meanwhile you might want to check out Premiere Elements 11/Elements Organizer 11/File Menu/Catalog Manager... and the Custom Location option. I suspect that is what both of you have in mind?
When Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are installed on the same computer, they share a common Elements Organizer (catalog) although they can be purchased as standalone products each with its own Elements Organizer (catalog).

TS1702 Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?

Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?

Because the included Maps app no longer gets the maps data from Google, so no more street view.
You can get a free Google Maps app from the iTunes App Store.

Can application know the location of its most recent cached *jnlp* file?

Can an application know if it was launched by clicking on the hyperlink in a web page, or whether it was launched from the shortcut on the desktop?
Alternatively, Can the application know the location of its most recent cached jnlp file on the desktop?
To take a specific example, let's say I have a word processor, My Word that is deployed using Web Start. It can view documents on the web and must also work offline to view local documents.
When a user clicks the hyperlink to the doc, say,
myParty Open the myParty document
then myParty.jnlp launches My Word, opening the myParty.txt file.
Since there is no way to pass arguments dynamically, one must have a jnlp file for each doc.
So myParty.jnlp has the url of the doc hardcoded in it.
<application-desc main-class="MyWord">
<argument>http://www.MySite.com/myParty.doc</argument>
</application-desc>
The problem is that apparently Web Start uses the most recent jnlp each time it is launched.
So that if the file has moved, or if one is offline, then the application hangs because it is trying to open the same document, regardless of whether MyWord was launched by clicking on the hyperlink in a web page - in which case this would be appropriate - or whether it was launched from the shortcut on the desktop - inappropriate here.
As a workaround, I was wondering - where is the jnlp file stored on the local desktop?
If the application could find the most recent jnlp, then it could rewrite it (after it was opened the first time) with an identical jnlp that has no application-desc arguments.
Then when the user runs from the shortcut on the desktop, it will launch without a document to open.
Any help appreciated.
thanks,
Anil Philip
Are you planning to kill yourself? Stop! listen to this song
broadband version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLHHB4YZucI
dial-up version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL5WyBenUpM

1) To make it more complicated, it seems that the browser also does the caching.
2) I could not find the jnlp as a file on the desktop, so I suspect that is stored in some database. Is there any way the application can write to it or any api to simply allow the application to change the arguments?
3) It is not an option to use jnlpservlet as the document can be placed anywhere and not just on a webserver under our control.

I saw your post today.
Moving the hosts file to the desktop will make it part of a roaming profile? That's means that activation will occur from any computer that are part and available of my microsoft local network. How can I make sure that the program I access is the one located on my local C drive and not in a roaming profile in maybe a cloud environment or from an unknown equipment with access to my network without authorization. I have only 1 laptop where I install locally the CS3 suit
My host file has not entries on it and even when trying to copy to the desktop the activation can not be completed, same problem. Days ago I used the trial option instead of the activation, after trying to activate the whole product as you mentioned in your reply, the trial period remaining got back to the original 30 days.
I have recently noticed that I have a roaming profile with a workspace file different to the one I have on my local disk (3 files basic, panel and type). On the roaming profile I see a directory for adobe illustrator CS3 settings \ workspaces \ AIWSPrefs file which has different entries than the one I have at the local drive. Normally I do not customize a lot the workspace or safe the setting used, I load the brushes, swatches, etc manually from the location they are on my local drive so the swatches and brushes directories on the roaming profile are empty instead. Adobe Eureka and Kuler palettes exists on the basic local file not in the roaming one.
The directories on my roaming profile are:
Acrobat
Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings
Adobe PDF
Adobe Photoshop CS3
Color
Dreamweaver 9
Flash Player
Fonts
Headlights
Linguistics
Logs
LogTransport2
Save For Web AI
Updater5
Workflow
XMP
Inside illustrator roaming directory, the following files :
AI Color Settings
AIAppResources
AIMenuFaceCache
AIPrefs
Brushes
Composite Fonts
Graphic Styles
IllustratorFnt.lst
Kinsoku
MojiKumi
New Document Profiles
Plug-in Cache.ARTX
Plug-ins
Print Presets
Save for Web Settings
Swatches
Symbols
Transparency Flattener Presets
Workspaces
In the above scenario, which workspace and other functions files will take precedence? How can I avoid the roaming profile?
Not being able to copy files from the roaming profile to my local disk, I wondering how this roaming profile was created and why the files are in there. Those files have a date from last month, the local files were more recently installed.
Your comments will be appreciated at your earliest.
Thanks in advance

Can I change the location of the cache to a different disk drive?

I'm having trouble with fragmentation on my system disk which seems be the result of the Firefox disk cache. This fragmentation is causing problems both with Firefox and other programs. I have multiple hard disks and would like to relocate the cache to a different drive to see if this solves the problem but there's nothing 'Options'

In addition to the above, I know of one add-on that includes the option to move the cache. The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13288/ Super Tab Mode] add-on is primarily a tabbed browsing add-on that enhances tabbed browsing features, as well as having the option to move the cache.

I have a feeling the two errors are related but I’m not sure where to begin to troubleshoot.

Thanks for your reply, and yes I believe it is all set up as it needs to be, but obviously I'm missing something.
I will add this: the client will eventually install. I am still testing of course and each of the 2 clients I have pushed it out too has gotten this error but

When will Office 2013 Offline File Cache for IE add in work with Enhanced mode?

The Office 2013 Document Cache Uploader IE Plugin is incompatible with IE 11 running in enhanced mode.
I read that enhanced security mode was enabled by default in Win8 so Microsoft can collect information and advise third party plug-in developers they need to update their stuff to work with it. Then in November, Microsoft started shipping Win8 with enhanced
security disabled. But Win8.1 now ships with enhanced mode enabled... But... Microsoft's own plug-in with the latest versions don't work with it. The solution / workaround is to disable enhanced protection mode. (I don't see this
as a solution for me, my last virus infection because of insecure IE cost me over $400 to fix.) When are you going to fix your own stuff? Or will you retire it like a bunch of other goodies ripped out of Win8. And Server 2012. And Exchange
2013........Lastpass.com has their plug-in working with enhanced mode... Why can't you fix it? Should not be that tough to fix and to include it in a Office update....

Hope there will be a fix soon....This should not be marked as 'answer'. You simply state the fact that it is broken as I did and to disable IE Enhanced (warning/warning) and that is not an answer or a workaround..
Somebody please at least look at it and come up a quick and cheap, down and dirty way to add this to the trusted zones so it will work? then you can mark as answer. Everyone there at Microsoft sitting around waiting for someone else
or other department to do it. Lastpass make it work, Logmein make it work, but Microsoft resting on their laurels .......My gosh, I paid $439 for a copy of Office Pro 2013 Professional to upgrade my Office 2010 and it does not work as well as 2010 did?
In this respect, the product is a Lemmon. I already moved to the cloud for Exchange like they wanted me to, by crippling connection with this to my church's Exchange 2003 server.
It seems the master plan behind this release is to disable function with Server2003 to drive more Exchange server or Cloud hosting sales. Please make sure the product does what it did before, before you take my money and turn off the lights on important
feature oversites.
Any way to hack into Office 2010 and load its cache uploader to run in enhanced zone, or put a link or dll in the trusted zone to make this feature work again? Can someone at Microsoft at least get it on the project board or bump it up a hundred spaces
on priority list? Maybe offer a bonus to the programmer that fixes it. A weekend on the hiking trail or kayak excursion, or rock-climbing pass.. Microsoft guys like that outdoors kinds of stuff and will work like crazy to get it.

BUG - client-side iPad keyboard in MRD 8.1.5 is mis-mapped for remote VMware Player console on Windows 8.1 Pro

Client system: iPad 4 running iOS 8.1.1
Client language/locale: US English
Client app: MRD 8.1.5
Server system: 64-bit Windows 8.1 Pro
Server language/locale: US English
Problem: client-side keyboard in MRD 8.1.5 does not work properly within VMware Player 6 console only
When interacting with VMs through the VMware Player 6 console app on the remote Windows 8.1 host, the client-side iPad keyboard for MRD 8.1.5 is not properly mapped. Letter keys and the top-row number keys send function keys or non-standard key scan codes
that aren't used by traditional PC keyboards. The spacebar sends the D key, and some keys send nothing at all. Many other keys work properly, including the client-side numeric keypad, and uppercase letters sent by using the Shift key (but not the iPad up-arrow
shift key). The only way to send the proper keystrokes to VMware Player from MRD 8.1.5 is to not use the client-side iPad keyboard and instead switch to the on-screen keyboard provided by the remote Windows server.
This problem only occurs within the VMware Player console app, and only with RDP connections that use the MRD 8.1.5 client on iOS. I do not encounter the problem with other iOS RD clients such as iFreeRDP by Thinstuff or Pocket Cloud Remote Desktop by Wyse.
Steps to reproduce:
Connect to Windows 8.1 Pro system from the MRD 8.1.5 client for iOS 8.1.1
Using the client-side iPad keyboard within MRD 8.1.5, bring up the Run dialog by typing Windows-R
Launch Notepad by typing notepad.exe in the Run dialog and pressing Enter on the client-side iPad keyboard
Type some sample text in Notepad until you're confident that the client-side iPad keyboard is functioning properly
Launch VMware Player 6 and start up a VM (mine was Windows Server 2008)
Open the sign-on prompt in the VM by sending Ctrl-Alt-Ins from the client-side keyboard or by pressing the Ctrl-Alt-Del icon in VMware Player
Touch or click in the password field in the VM to ensure it has keyboard focus
Using the client-side keyboard, try to type letters or numbers in the password field, and notice that dots generally do not appear for most keypresses
Switch to the server-side on-screen keyboard and delete the contents of the password field if it is not already empty
Use the server-side on-screen keyboard to sign on to the VM
Inside the VM, open Notepad or some other text editor
Enter text into the editor from both the client-side and server-side keyboards to verify that only the server-side keyboard is functioning properly within the VM
This issue is the only problem I'm having with MRD for iOS, and I hope it is resolved soon.
Thanks,
Fred

Client-Side Caching of Static Objects

Hi,
We just installed SPS12 for NWs. I learned of this new client-side caching of static objects while reading through the release notes, and I went in to our portal to check it out. I went to the location where the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/45/7c6336b6e5694ee10000000a155369/content.htm">release notes</a> (and an <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/6622">article in the blog</a>) specified, System Administration > System Configuration > Knowledge Management > Content Management > Global Services.
Problem is that I do not see Client Cache Service and Client Cache Patterns. I enabled "Show Advanced Options," but I do not see those two configuration items.
Does anyone know why I am not seeing those two configuration items and how I can get to those?
Thank you.
