Offline Files in Server 2008

[Arris]

Description: Use the Offline Files feature to automatically synchronize the files and folders between my notebook and home pc when connected.

Tried
– Enabling Offline Files in the (classic) Control Panel, but after restart, if you right click on a network folder and select Always Available Offline, nothing happens.
– Using the steps Heath Provost posted at softwareblogs.intel.com, but got the same result as Try #1:

1. By default, 2k8 does not seem to create the C:WindowsCSC folder, but all the other needed components are installed. If you do not have this folder, just create it manually before proceeding further.

2. Create/edit the following registry keys:

Key: KLMSystemCurrentControlSetServicesCscServiceStart
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 2

Key: KLMSystemCurrentControlSetServicesCSCStart
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

Key: KLMSystemCurrentControlSetServicesCSCParametersFormatDatabase
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

Key: KLMSystemCurrentControlSetServicesCSCParametersCacheLocation
Type: REG_SZ
Value: ??c:Windowscsc (yes, with the weird looking question mark stuff)

Note: The Parameters key above may not exist, you will have to create it if it doesn’t.

3. Reboot and offline files should be functional.

Wish is satisfied. See post Enable Offline Files feature how to do it! 😉
