Active Sync prevents access to a server after restoring a disk.

two of our users who have laptops use active sync to keep some directories on
one of our servers in sync with their laptops. I recently had to reformat
one of the drive partitions and restore all the data. The two laptops
appear to think that the server is not available event though everyone else
on the network can access it normally. Basically what happens if that only
the directories they have synced are accessble to them and their systems will
not let them even see anything else on the server.

It looks as if sync knows that the server went offline but has not managed
to work out that it has now been restored.
 
Ah ha, The mystery appears to be solved. Each of these users was syncing
with more than one share which they used offline. One of the shares had
been restored but not re shared.

An error message of some kind which gave us a clue would have been nice but
never mind we got there in the end.
