csccmd.exe command syntax's etc.

**Anilrgowda** · 08-Mar-2007, 10:11 PM

we have a problem where one of our clients uses two PC's. a Desktop PC in the office and a Laptop from home and roaming.
He has a Lan-to-LAN VPN between his Office and Home and a Dialup Network connection for when he is roaming.
ALl of his data is stored on the office server which he has a drive mapped too (H:\) his My Documents is pointing to the UNC equivilant of the location,
\\servername\folder location. He also uses iTunes. The iTunes library location is set to his Laptop's D:\ drive away from his My Docuements because we have setup
Off-line folders to sync his data from location. They problem we are getting now is that his iTunes is running slow as there is a Library databse that from the looks of things has to stay in My Documents\My Music\iTunes which is located on the server.
We would like to use csccmd.exe to force the Laptop to use the cache version when he requires it. This will be toggled by two icons on his desktop.
The usage help for csccmd.exe isn't that informative. It only gives you 5 possible options but doesn't give us any info on how to use it.

For Example:-

C:\>csccmd

Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) CSC Utility Version 1.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1991-2003. All Rights Reserved.

Usage: csccmd [/OPTIONS]

/ENABLE
/DISABLE
/RESID
/DISCONNECT:<\\server\share>
/MOVESHARE:<\\server\share> <\\server\share>

The command completed successfully.

C:\>

--------------------
Would someone have a copy of the full list of commands this utility supports with descriptions. Or can someone please advice me on a possible command line to use.

Re-reading you question it looks as if you know most of this (sorry, not trying to teach a granny to suck eggs!)...

Basically, there must be a way to change where ITunes looks for the database file... try searching the registry for the full path name ie. "C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAMEHERE>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml"

Alternatively, to answer the original question, please refer to the following microsoft article:
