Why after all this time Microsoft insists on making something simple difficult, I still have no idea. I am happy you and others have been able to resolve your problems. Meanwhile, I moved to Windows 7 and stopped using Offline Files a year or two ago. Most of the stuff in this article does not apply to my situation anymore. Based on traffic however---this is one of my most popular articles---I can tell interest in the tool has not diminished. I have heard that story so many times before, Dave.

We spent three days trying to chase this down with Partner Support, only for the end result being that they specifically told me (after many supervisor conversations) that the tool had been removed from use. No reason why! This version of the tool is still useful, so I can't fathom the reasoning. Further to this, about half PSS techs advised me that they weren't even able to find the KB article. I asked them to update the KB article to reflect this, because it caused us a bunch of grief tracking down something that apparently didn't exist even though instructions to obtain it were there clear as day.

However, I now do not need all of them to be available off-line anymore. The ticked "Make available off-line" option is however dimmed/grayed out. I have downloaded csccmd.exe. However, how do I use it? All I want to achieve is to select/deselect folders to be available/ not available off-line as necessary. Can anyone help?

When i'm connected to the network with my laptop, how can i switch to offline mode? (it's already offline available) Normally it's something like csccmd /disconnect:serverlocation BUT with DFS = csccmd /disconnect:eu.*.com... (Also not the underlaying vnc path) and it's not going to offline mode like when i do it with a regular (NON DFS-Folder) Can anyone help?
