Hello,
I have a server setup running 2008r2 as a domain controller. I have setup folder redirection to work along with these users, but have ran into a small problem. The hard drive failed in the server so the users were running for a few days “offline.” There was an image taken of the server lets say on the 1st, after restoring the image to the server on the 4th the pc’s were asking users to sync when they get a chance because the server is back up and running. Now, we chose on each pc to keep the current copy on the pc and replace the server copy when asked by the sync tool on each pc running windows xp pro. However, when the sync took place it actually reverting back the copies of the files on the 1st. So the users dont have any changes they made, say to an excel file, because any change made after the 1st have been erased back to the original copy. Is there anyway to recover the newer version of those files? Would a system restore on the pc’s themselves do the trick, and then I can atleast backup those new versions before the pc trys to re sync again? Anything I can do from the server end to get the newest verison of those files? I assumed since we chose to keep the offline pc copy and replace the server copy that we would be okay. I really appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.
