Offline folder issue in Windows Server 2003

Ronniestevens — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 08:40:46 +0000

In my environment we have enabled folder redirection for Appdata/Roaming to a other server location.

If I try and view the security permissions for certain files from the client it says it is unable to find them or that they can’t be displayed.

The appdata folder on the server has full control and but from my client machine it says cannot display the security permissions and says folder is offline . If i try to sync from the windows 7 machine it gives a error message saying access denied.

From my client all the files show that i have full control and are offline .

What is the actual cause of this issue and how can i recover the offline cache of the client .

Folder Redirection – Why disable inheritance?

Every article I read regarding folder redirection and personal shares mentions that I should disable inherited permissions. Why is this required? Is this a security concern or a performance concern? Personally, I want upper management to have read access to subordinates personal shares so I don’t have to retrieve files for managers, or monitor them all for silly stuff. Is this ok?
