Re: File shows different date/contents from a specific PC/User

Found that same page, followed the instructions, and rebooted.

Had to wait for her to get back from lunch to sign in. All appears to be
well!

Thank you Bob!

Probably wouldn't hurt. If they don't need offline files - access to
network files when network is down/unavailable - I would turn it
completely off. You do that in the Sync Center.

Here's a how-to article:

Just looked. It was marked 'always available offline' which I unchecked.
Did a sync now and it still shows mod date of 5/2/2016.

I've never used offline files. Does the user need to log off/on?

Sounds like maybe the Windows File Sync has an error. Was the
file/folder ever marked as 'always available offline' on that PC? If
so, might need to turn it off.

I thought of that too and should have mentioned it. I deleted an old,
unnecessary file from that folder from my PC, then went to her PC, and
the file I deleted was gone.

I'm not a Windows admin either, but I'd say that that user's drive
mapping is pointing to someplace other than where you admin user
points

to.

All,

I am not a Windows admin, so be gentle.

We have a .xls file out on a mapped network drive (S:) where
several

people

enter and/or verify contents on a daily basis. It gets updated
every day, including today and has a modified date of 6/9/2016.
The drive is mapped at signon at the domain level.

For a month now, for a specific user on a specific PC, it has
shown the modified date as 5/2/2016. If this user is signed on to
this PC and I start Windows Explorer with "run as administrator"
it still shows a modified date of 5/2/2016. And the information in
the file reflects that it was last updated on 5/2/2016.

I can sign on to that PC as Administrator and the modified date
date is fine at 6/9/2016.

That user can sign on from another PC, the modified date is fine
at 6/9/2016, and she can update it just fine.

So it look like it's only that user on that PC.

The PC with the issue is Windows 7 Pro and has been joined to the
domain for several years now. The employee started last November.
The problem just started last month.

I am clueless. Ideas?

Thanks.
