Ok, so we shut down the Houston office yesterday and moved everyone and everything up here to NYC.
The good news was I got my server back (it was in the Houston office) and was very excited about being able to synch my laptop back up to the server, working instantly while at the office, and being able to work with offline files from home; as opposed to remoting in to the server 24 hours a day.
The bad news is...I'm now using Windows 7, which is motherfucking silly. That's all fine and good, the real issue is I need this problem solved.
When I open the Synch Center and allow offline files, it's discovering my old offline files from my old computer (which ported over when I moved the user from my XP machine to the win7 machine) from 13 months ago. When I try to synch to the server (again, for the first time in 13 months), it is giving me two real problems:
1) It is trying to resynch shit from 13 months ago, shit that has since become totally obsolete. So delete your offline files, you say! Ah ha. I would love to, but it's giving me a permission problem.
2) And this is the highly annoying one; it won't let me actually synch to any folder that had since been created in the last 13 months because it says I don't have permission to access that drive (I mapped the file server as the Z:). When I try to log in as admin to give file permissions to EVERYONE in that folder, I get the same "access is denied" bullshit.
So there, someone, anyone, fucking tell me please how the motherfuck I synch a goddamn folder in Windows 7 so that I can run my office offline from home (off the server) the way I was able to without fucking problem in XP.
Many thanks.
