Using wsh to control offline files

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely,microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript (More info?)

I've searched long and hard for this, but although I am sure it is possible
I've had no luck.

I'd like to write a wsh script that can does the equivalent of selecting the
"make available offline" option in a file/folder context menu.

I am trying to make it easier for users to work offline by allowing them to
choose the "jobs" they are working on (we are a construction company) - I
can then use a program to find the various files needed for a certain job.

Please redirect replies to the newsgroup: I will post my final solution (if
any) back in the newsgroup.

thanks!

You might want to try the scripting newsgroup. They may have more
references for this.. I couldn't find any SDK at MS for this,
however...

Hi Ross,

Thank you for posting!

Ross, for WSH question, you may ask microsoft.public.scripting.wsh
newsgroup.

Based on my research and monitor, when you set a file or folder "Make
offline available", it will create a registry key under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\Shares.
However, the data of value "ID" and "LastSyncTime" is binary. Also,
Windows will create the folder under C:\Windows\CSC and copy the offline
file/folder under it. These files do not have extension.

I hope that the above information will be helpful when you creating the wsh
script.

Have a nice day!

I recently saw your post on the XP work remotely newsgroup and was wondering
if you could provide a bit more info. I don't want to do anything as
complex as Ross does with WSH scripting. I simply want to redirect my
offline files to a different partition than the default C:. Is there any
way to do this? We have a policy of 8 Gb primary partitions (for company
installed programs) that are loaded as images ,then the remainder of the
drive is available to the user for data and personal programs. I don't have
enough space on my 8 Gb partition for my offline files.

I noticed that I do not have a CSC folder. Is this because I am online when
I am looking for it? Is it visible only when you are offline? Thank you in
advance for any advice you may have.

Thanks
Shannon

If you are able to get access to the Windows 2000 Resource Kit files, there
is a utility to relocate the cache folder--cachemov.exe ??

This has been observed to work with XP Professional. I'm unaware of other
ways to achieve this goal, not that that says much!
