Hi Sabrina, I have a same situation as well. We have users moving to different locations on a regualr basis and we need to reset their Document share redirection ...\\oldserver\share\username to \\newserver\share\username. I applied the hotfix and the hotfix talks about "After you install the hotfix, you can update the shared folder record in the CSC cache without administrative credentials". How do you update the shared folder record in the CSC cache ? What is the command or is it set in the registry ? Please let me know as I am keen to get it working. Regards Rajan

Hello All We recently had one of our DC's and file server die, I had to build a new server to replace the old one and the only thing I have to do is to re-point the users offline files. At present everyone's home drive is mapped to \\old-server\Users$\username This is mapped as the U drive and made available offline. All clients are running Windows 7. The server is 2008 R2 In XP this would have caused a problem and I would have used CSCCMD.exe and run the moveshare command to change the network location of the offline files from \\old-server\Users$\username to \\new-server\Users$\username. As I understand it CSCCMD doesn't work on Windows 7 so I need to find out how to make this change on Windows 7 machine. I have seen some posts that say this is done through WMI's I have looked into this but cannot see how to use WMI's to change the server location of the offline files Can anyone help.

Hi Sabrina I have the same need. We had to put somme users on a different file servers thous the new ones haven been ready for use. So now I have to move their homedirs to the new one. I have the user's homedrive mapped by the AD user's object to a ordinary fileshare as \\servername\homedirs$\username. The user's folders (Documents, Pictures, etc) are redirected by GPO and cached by CSC. According to Rajan I don't know how to do this: "After you install the hotfix, you can update the shared folder record in the CSC cache without administrative credentials". Where or how do we made the update in the shared folder record? Can you "enlight" us? Best regards SenadICT Desktop Engineer
