Hi,
I discovered that the system housing redirected folder is not booting, the hard disk crashed. I was relieve to know users can still work offline with the cached copy of their files.
I installed another hardisk
reinstalled the OS.
Delete the old computer account on the DC, and joined the new system to the domain using the old computer name
I created a folder (to store redirected folders) with same name and permission like the one on the crashed hard disk. hoping that the copies of files on users system will be copied to the folder.
When I invoked synchronisation on one of the workstations, I received the message that the copy of files on the server is missing or deleted, the question was asked if I want to copy files on the workstation to the server, I gladly picked the option to copy files on workstation to the server.
instead of the files being copied to the hard disk, the files on the worstation disappeared. one or two files were copied to the server. I thought the files will reppear (it happens like that atimes). I did for other workstations, and same thing happened.
Now everybody is looking for their files. I have gone inside the CSC folder, only one or two files are present for each user.
Please how can I locate these other files.
Best Regards
Tayo
