Synchronisation does not work with W7-Client
Hi, I've got a W7 notebook as domain member (SBS 2003), which has mapped a share on the server as drive z: (a small directory with several Excel sheets). I tried to setup offline sync for that client, but no chance to do this (I'm logged on with administrative rights): 1. The first error is, that synchronisation center offers a link called "Setup synchronisation partnership" - and when opened, it says there are no partners - that's it. No chance to setup one! (I translated the names of these links from german to english, maybe they're named different in an original english Windows) 2. If I click on the link called "show syncronization partnerships", there is one called "Offline files" - but I didn't create it, it obviously is just there because of the mapping of drive z:. And why is it called "Offline files" and not "Synchroniszation of drive Z:"? 3. Even more irritating is the fact, that I cannot delete or modify this "Partnership" . I only can "open" it. What I see then is called "d$(\\Server1)". So synchronization is occurring on the whole D: drive on the server an not only on that subfolder the client is mapped to!!! 4. Synchronization shows Errors, obviously because it tries to synchronize the whole share d$ and laments because of missing rights. My question now is, how can I tell Windows not to synchronize the whole d: drive but only the users folder with his excel sheets? Should I reinstall synchronization in W7? Thanks for any hint!

Hello, did you prepare the SBS machine for Windows 7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926505 Also i suggest to use the SBS forum instead this one: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/smallbusinessserver/threadsBest regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
