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

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

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.
