I have problems similar to whats documented in:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2002109, but I have dell servers running server 2003/2008. What causes this. It seems like all I get is conflicts and errors with offline files since we have had vista and 7 pro clients. MS needs to really look into this. I have struggled with this for a long time. I have tried pairing vista 7 clients with 2008 severs and get the same conflicts. I have also tried to exclude tmp files from being cached. This breaks saving Office files to the location all together.Any offline files experts out there that have cracked this nut?

Hi, From the description, I assume that you are using a Windows 7/Vista computer, open Office program such as Word to save a file to a network folder on Windows 2003/2008 (with Offline Files enabled). Then using another Windows 7/Vista computer to access the file and got a temp file instead of the original one. If there is any misunderstanding please let me know. I tried to using a Windows 7 computer to save a file to Windows 2008 R2 shared folder but the file is fine on another Windows 7 computer. Thus I would like to know if you can reproduce the same issue every time or it occurs randomly. Meanwhile, on Windows 7 systems please have a test to install the following hotfix to see if there is any different. You cannot access a remote server that shares files and printers by using the SMB protocol from a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-US;2194664 Shaon Shan |TechNet Subscriber Support in forum |If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com
