Offline Folder location change

[cjkenworthy]

I have set up 3 Windows XP laptops, with the 'My Documents' folder available offline from a server share.

This weekend the server was removed and a new server put in place (with a different name, but same file structure) - obviously the clients cannot find the network share they are supposed to synchronise with anymore.

How do i change the specified location of the offline folders? I have read that there is a utility named cachemov.exe to do this, but it is on the windows 2000 server resource kit (I do not have this, and cannot find where to download it from)

Is there a registry setting or manual way I can do it?

cachemov.exe relocates the local cache \%systemroot%\csc to a different drive or folder, but does not effect the remote server syncronization.

What you want is the Win2003 Resource kit command:
csccmd.exe /moveshare

It have not used it, but it should reconcile the local offline cache (csc) between two servers.

Not to oversimplify, but is right-clicking the "My Documents" shortcut, selecting properties, and changing the target path not what you are looking for?

Hope that helps!

bcastner's solution worked fine - many thanks.

vanvb - the My Documents shortcut simply tells the computer the location of the folder, it does not specify the offline file settings - which for some reason become fixed permenantly once offline files are configured for the first time.
