Offline files stopped syncing

Default Offline files stopped syncing

I'm running Vista Business and have mapped a network drive and marked it
available for offline use.
Everything looked normal, I could access the files (still online - no big
surprise). I switched off offline files at one point and turned it back on.
Now the sync center still have the relationship, but trying to sync only
results in a "sync waiting" message.

I'm not able to delete any offline files either - I get "Access Denied".

Is there a way to come back to start? I just want all offline files (and
sync relationships) removed so I can set up everything again.

Thanks

eto - I don't have a solution only to confirm I have similar problems. I also
have a number of files made available for offline work. I sometimes work
online via a VPN as well. When I hard wire connect to the server and sync I
get a number (25 files today) where it says "Access is Denied" and won't
update the server files. These files are not open by anyone else at the time
of syncing (in fact with some of them I have been the only one to access the
files); my file sharing is turned on. Beats (and fustrates) me. I alsio have
a huge problem with the creation of a whole lot of tmp files when I sync.

The answer has been found! See this post:

Subject: Offline Files - tmp files - GUID - Access is denied - Sync
Posted on November 16, 2007...

There finally is an answer. After looking EVERYWHERE, I found the Microsoft
solution... Check the third reply I made. It has a link to the MS KB
article for the fix.

I have applied the PRE-SP1 patch and it worked on my computer! FINALLY!!!
I HAVE to have the offline files working or it creates major problems for my
work!
