So I've got a machine which is connecting to various shares which are available offline.

One share in particular has now been removed, but the laptops still kick off on every logon that the path is currently unavailable.

Have tried deselecting the folder on startup/idle yet the error still occurs everytime, deleting the offline cache and resynching the other shares still makes no difference.

It turns out there is a reference to this location at:

hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\curre ntversion\netcache\assignedofflinefolders

When trying to bring another DC online to active directory via DCPromo I kept getting an error message telling me to run forest and domainprep even though I had already done so.

Before you can introduce Windows Server 2003 domain controllers, you must prepare the forest and domains with the ADPrep utility.

ADPrep /forestprep on the schema master in your Windows 2000 forest.
 
ADPrep /domainprep on the Infrastructure Master in each AD domain.
