| | offline files not working 32 bit, Vista Business machine is part of a domain. Everything worked fine using XP. Upgraded to Vista, and now Offline Files is not working. Tried SP1, same problem. File server is Windows Server 2003 Cluster. The "Offline Availability" says "Not available". What does that mean? The user does login to another machine and access these files. But there's like 500 files and all files and folders say "Not available" for Offline Availability. Other users (in same Org Unit) can log into that same machine and Offline Files works fine. I'm stumped. I've tried removing the profile on that computer and re-creating it, but same problem. Originally the Org Unit for these users didn't allow access to Control Panel. Could that have something to do with it, since Sync Center and Offline Files features are under Control Panel? But even after allowing Control Panel, still same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ryan |

| | RE: offline files not working looks like it was an encryption problem. when I disabled Offline File Encryption, everything works fine. Turn it right back on, and problem comes back. Anyone know if I need anything special to be able to use offline file encryption? "Ryan Bjork" wrote: Quote: > 32 bit, Vista Business machine is part of a domain. Everything worked fine > using XP.

| | RE: offline files not working doing this fixed it, even though I never got this error. I think Offline Files needs to add a little more feedback when it's having a problem. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/937536 "Ryan Bjork" wrote: Quote: > looks like it was an encryption problem. when I disabled Offline File > Encryption, everything works fine.
