Has SP2 broken Offline files?

[Guest]

Hi,

Just installed SP2 on laptop day before yesterday. Added some files and
updated some others on my file share yesterday - went to sync offline files
yesterday evening - and am now getting error...

Offline files (...): Unable to make 'blah.doc' available offline of
\\path.... Access is denied.

It is only giving the error for the new files I added and updated.

From the laptop I can go into that file share and update these files fine!!!

Very confused? Only thing I can think of is SP2...

Any ideas

Donal

Changed all the folder settings to be not available offline, turned off
offline file support, turned it back on, and reset to folders to make
available offline and the error now happens for all files it tries to sync.

!!!

Actually, SP2 fixed many issues with Offline Files...

Try reinitializing the cache. See
