As it turns out, we were trying to do offline files for a redirected folder. &nbsp;The redirection was failing. &nbsp;Once we got the redirection working properly, Offlline Files started working.<br />
<br />
The problem we were having with folder redirection was that we were trying to use a mapped drive (i.e. J:\Myfiles with J: mapped to \\server\home\%username%) instead of a straight UNC (i.e. \\server\home\%username%).<wbr />

I'm trying to set up Offline files on Vista.  The targeted file shows "offline availability: not available".  When try to open it, unsurprisingly, I get "Access Denied".  How do I fix this?

&quot;Offline Availability: Not Available&quot; and &quot;Access Denied&quot; with Vista

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
