Finding Offline Files

Corey Vantilborg Nov 3, 2010 10:53 AM

Occcasionally we come across a situation where a system needs to be wiped out and re-imaged.

Before doing this we generally do a search for all the of their checked out files.

However I don't currently have a good method to find offline files. Some of our people work offline frequently and have a number of off line files(not yet added to the Vault but in the Vault file structure).

Does anyone have a way to do this?

Regards,

Try a desktop search program. (Windows Desktop search, Google Desktop, native windows search)

A SEPDM search routine for local files is something I have asked for more than once.

The best I have come up with is to check in all files, clear local cache, delete the vault view but leave the files. Then select a group of folders and RMB/Properties. If there are no files, then delete that group. Repeat until you get through all the folders.

  Wayne,
  
  Do you find Clearing the Local Cache works? I find it extremely unreliable.
  
  Did you take out an enhancement request for this that I could vote for?

    Sorry for the delay - I was gone.
    
    Clearing cache seems to work pretty well for us.
    
    I don't know that I took out a request - I think I havae jsut brought it up in every meeting that I havae been in with SEPM folks.
