Window 7 mapped drive contents not refreshing
We have a share setup on windows 2008 server where users can scan from multifunction printers to be drop into this share. When they scan something to the share and go back to
their PC to retrieve the electronic copy, the changes are not updated in the mapped drive. I can see the file if I mapped to the share from their PC
\\server\share also if I disconnect and reconnect the mapped drive.
If you check this post I am having the same issue but no resolution was posted.

Not having this issue and therefore no resolution but - what do you see
if you open a cmd prompt and issue there a dir command, do you see the
new files or not? If you see them it's an explorer issue otherwise a
communication/cache issue.

This doest happen often, I informed one of the users to let me know when the file operation is not updated. I will check to see if share update are visible in dir command. Will get back to you soon

I tried the dir command and i do not see the files. Disconnecting and reconnecthing the only way to update the file or wait about 15 to 20 minutes and files will be updated on the PC.

As a test try to remove windows search from the installed windows
functions. Win7 search extends to Win2008 servers and directory queries
are in fact sometimes searches in existing indexes. So maybe it is a
case of rebuilding of indexes not quick enough. Just a guess in the
wild.

Just turned of the function and restarted the PC and did multiple scan and all the files showed up right away. But I will have to try this through ou the day to make sure if this is fixed. I will update you thanks
