offline_files

[Roy]

Had the exact same problem with 65 new XP Pro
workstations and 1 W2k Server. You can either wait for XP
SP2, call Microsoft for a hotfix, or use the workaround
detailed in:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-
US;810907

I chose the workaround so I did not have to touch 65
workstations. It worked great.

Good Luck,

Roy
