To fix a very wide variety of problems with Offline Files in Windows 7, try this:

1. Run REGEDIT
2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc
3. Open or create a new key folder called Parameters
4. Add a 32-bit DWORD (not anything else) called FormatDatabase, set its value to 1
5. Reboot

Here are two very good articles:

1. Find the proper MLCFG32.CPL . This is the control panel icon for Outlook mail configuration. It will be somewhere under Program Files.

2. Determine its path in short (8×3) form. This can be done using DIR /X. It usually starts with C:\PROGRA~1. It varies according to OS and version of Outlook. If you have more than one version of Outlook present, remove one, run the repair on the other, and then do this. An example of a valid path for one XP box:
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\System\MSMAPI\1033\mlcfg32.cpl

3. In RegEdit, go here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\MMCPL

4. Create or open a registry string key called mlcfg32.cpl. Put the 8×3 path for this file as the value for the string key.

5. Open the control panel, and it’s there. It may not be in alphabetical order until you sort it manually.

Free telephone tech support from Microsoft is also reportedly available for this.

First copy the cert from the server to a file. Log into the server as administrator, and in CMD:

certutil -ca.cert ca_name.cer

Then copy ca_name.cer onto the desktop of the client PC, double-click on it, click “Install Certificate…” on the General tab, click “Place all certificates in the following store”, click “Browse…”, click “Trusted Root Certification Authorities, and click OK. Click Next and Finish.

Here is the location:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations
