Moved Offline files to a different server

**Anilrgowda** · 08-Mar-2007, 10:16 PM

Question: I have all of the My Documents on all of my laptops redirected to a mapped drive h:\ This mapped drive points to \\*****dc\home\Username. I recently got a new file server and moved all of the home directories to the new server. I have all of the users h: drives mapped to the same share on this new server. The laptops are configured to use the h: drive offline. Since I moved the share to the new server the files sync to the new share perfectly but are still trying to connect to the old server share which does not exsist. I cannot figure out how to get XP to stop looking for the old server. It keeps making the machine go offline because of this.

Look under this key for the values for the old server...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\netcache\shares

If present, delete them.

Alternatively, you can click on setup when te sync manager pops up, and unselect the old paths..

start>run>mobsync
