Glad to have helped! I think it’s the Broadcom drivers.

It’s also an issue on Windows 7 using the Dell based Broadcom drivers.

I spent hours searching down syncing issues with a customer that recently switched from XP Pro to Vista Business with SBS 2003, and found your posting. It worked. Thanks for posting!

I also have a customer that is having sporadic file saving error messages that appear to be locking related. I had him change it to a ‘0′ and I hope it solves his problems.

Coincidentally, they all have Dell laptops, desktops and servers. I wonder if Dell is the only one that configures Vista with locking enabled.

Looks like others have seen a corrupted build be the problem. I also got mine from technet.

Let us know what type of machine you have. Perhaps we can narrow it down to a specific driver.

I’ve got the same issue. I just installed build 7000 and I’m getting these errors all over the place: avg.com, Microsoft Management Console, Add Gadgets window, etc.

Reproducible for me, too. Sucks.

The initial problem was that no offline files were being made available to Vista clients. Sounds like it’s different than the one you are having.

What was your initial problem here you were trying to defeat?
I have a Vista PC that Offline files is indeed working on, however if changes are made to an existing document, then they happen to the cached file and aren’t updated until a manual (or auto) sync. If the file is open on another PC, they are not advised, suggesting that is happening from the cache too.
Any ideas?

To be honest, I am not sure which one will take precedence. The MRXSmb-DisableOpslock tells the client either to request or not request opslock when accessing a shared file. The LanmanWorkstation handles the clients request from what I have gathered during my research.

If the registry key is not present then the setting it represents is enabled by default. In case of DisableOpslock, it’s disabled (0)

In my case both keys were present and set to disabled.

Also from what I gathered the keys (DisableOpslock and EnableOpslock) are not present by default
