Vista networking issues with SBS2003

I have come across an issue which has come up regularly when using Vista workstations in a SBS2003 network. A network share cannot be accessed properly from the Vista PC. Files can be created, copied to, or deleted off the network share. However, when an attempt is made to rename the file, or edit and save the file, an error pops up similar to the following – “The file cannot be found” or “The network resource is no longer available”.
 
One way to fix this is to reset the Offline Folders database, which may be corrupted. To do this:
 
1. Open Regedit
2. Go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC\Parameters
3. Edit or add the DWORD value called FormatDatabase to 1
4. Restart the computer
 
Alternatively, disable Offline Files in the Control Panel and restart the PC.
