I have an XP client connected to our network that appears to be missing random xls files. I have gone through the servers redirected folders for that user and can only find their current files that reside on their laptop. It looks like the files have gone missing from both machines. Ive a feeling its something to do with the redirection however the same group policy runs on a further 20 pc's without an issue.
Im drawing a blank currently.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Sounds like a problem with offline files in XP. MS attempted to make using files easier 'on the go'. It just really made this more complex than it needed to be.
Have a look here:

I would make sure this is disabled on the XP machine and then work from there making sure the connection to the shared drives are good and available, etc...
Thanks for the that, i'll take a look into it and let you know if it resolves my issue. Many thanks.
