So I now have two entries in the sync partnership, both syncing just one file, one of which works and the other doesn't! I have now tried sharing another drive on the server, and again synchronising just one file in the root again as on the first drive.
#FOLDER SYNC WINDOWS 8.1 ARCHIVE#
I have now removed sync for all folders and files except one single file on the archive drive, which is in the root of the drive. This worked fine for many months, until this error message started happening on synchronisation on the client, but only on 8.1, not on XP.
#FOLDER SYNC WINDOWS 8.1 OFFLINE#
I used Offline Files on the client netbook to synchronise some folders on that drive, both on 8.1 and XP on the netbook.

Just to give the exact setup, the server has a drive on it called "Archive" which I have shared, under that name, on Windows 8.1 and Windows XP. This just resulted in a rather frightening BSOD on startup saying KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE, so I swiftly backed out of that! I did find one suggestion to clear things by adding the FormatDatabase entry elsewhere, in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC\Parameters, instead of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurentVersion\NetCache. The article is for Windows XP of course, not Windows 8.1, although my research seemed to indicate that it should still work. In fact nothing happened at all when I re-booted after adding it, the cache remained exactly the same, and the registry entry was still there too! It's supposed to re-initialise the cache, and then be deleted. The one puzzling thing was that adding the registry entry appeared to do absolutely nothing. I had already followed the instructions on that link, in fact most of the references on the web to this sort of problem point to it! "ASHFIELDCOURT" is the name of my main computer, the server, and "Archive" is the name of the shared drive on that machine.Īnyone any ideas, this is driving me nuts?! The details view in the Event Log shows - UserData - SyncFailureInfo Path \\ASHFIELDCOURT\Archive Operation Sync client copy to server ResultCode 0x80070057 Result The parameter is incorrect. However, it still keeps throwing this wretched error so it always looks as if the sync has failed. It worked fine for about a day and a half, and then the same error came back, with no apparent cause!Īs I said, it is actually syncing the files fine, and I have been monitoring the sync event log, and files are being transferred OK when they have changed or been added or removed on the server side or the client side. Well I did that, even going as far as you completely delete the CSC folder on the client machine, and re-did the whole sync partnership from scratch, which needless to say took hours! I have of course researched this, and the few bits of information I've found nearly all say to reset the store on the client side and basically start again. This is one of the most common and most annoying error messages there is IMO, as of course it gives you absolutely no clue as to what the "parameter" is that's incorrect, and in my experience there's almost always absolutely no way to find out!
The error being thrown is that good old favourite "The parameter is Incorrect"!
Now, although it still syncs OK, it's always showing an error after syncing. I've been using it for quite a while to synchronise some folders on my main machine's archive drive with my netbook, and it's always worked very well until a few weeks ago.
Does anyone here have experience with the Windows 8.1 Offline Files facility?
