Offline Files Issue
I have set up a new profile on a laptop for a user on Windows 7 Pro on a Windows 2003 domain. There is home directory folder redirection thrugh group policy. The user cannot access their home directory. I have checked all permissions. There is no access
to the \\servername\users share from this notebook, even when logged on as the domain administrator. If I disable the offline files in the sync center, I can then access the folder on the network with no issues.
It seems that there is something wrong with the offline files. I have tried the Netcache/Formatdatabase registry key, and the csc/resetdatabase registry key with no joy.
How can I reset the offline file settings or fix the problem?

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
2.
Locate the following registry subkey, and then right-click it:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC
3.
Point to New, and then click Key.
4.
Type Parameters in the box.

Right-click Parameters, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit)Value.
