on
The Main office is in San Francisco (Note: This Main office has just recently moved to other location; not too far; it is still in the same city and state which created “Problem#1”)
The Branch Office is in Denver.
(There is an employee named “Jbrown” in Denver who has a problem#1)
Both, Main & Branch Office are in the same domain called “Domain”.

There is a share folder in the network called “Share#1” (This share#1 is located at the Main Office)
The file server is “FileServer”

Problem#1:
Before The moving of the Main Office:
Jbrown is able to map \\fileserver\share#1, and works with “all the folders there” (around 20 folders)

After the moving of the Main Office:
Jbrown is STILL able to map \\fileserver\share#1, but she cannot see “all the folders there”


The things that i have been trying:

1) Disjoin and join again the mapping (it does not help)
2) I am in Main Office; i log in under jbrown credential; i map \\fileserver\share#1... and I can see all the folders (20 folders)

Any help?

Biggest question: Is this a one user problem, or are all non-main office users having the issue?

Are offline files in use? I'm assuming that the site-to-site VPN is working correctly since the move, but you may want to check there first anyway.

Answer: Yes, it is a one user problem.

Answer: The files are in network drive and used by all the employees at different location; Yes, It is no problem to map the above files using VPN.

Check to make sure "Always Available Offline" is not enabled for the network drive(s) in question. I've dealt with this one time where I replaced a user's computer and found that the issue was the machine had long been disconnected from the network drive, but somehow kept the cached ones in.
