Groove 2007 workspace does not send files

[MTRIP]

I am running a small remote office network using Groove 2007. Several months ago we upgraded from 3.1 to 2007. All of our workspaces were created in v3.1. Once upgrade to 07 was complete all workspaces were available to all users across the network. Recently, 2 of the machines that had not been used in some time (and were therfore not updating) could no longer access a particular workspace. Solution (we thought) was to remove the workspaces from teh affected machines and the download via 'invite' from a more current machine.

The download was successful, but the workspace files are not visible on the newly downloaded machines. We have the 'Discussion' tool available and, if we add a 'files' tool a root directory appears across the network but is a 'new' root directory with no content.

Have identified a workaroud of (a) adding a 'files' tool on the workspace, then (b) copying content on the active machine from the original root directory system to the new Files tool portion of the space, thus propogating the files to all users, but this is not optimal solution and wish to avoid scenario in future.

Have ensured the Options are set to allow versions of workspaces older the 2007, checked that communications manager is running appropriately and workspaces are set to automatically updated each time Groove is opened.

What changes do we need to either the inviting or the invited accounts to ensure that when the workspace is downloaded the files are included in the download?

The Kry here is to use the tools with low impact like discussions and calender.
Groove was designed for smaller short term collaborations with groups of 25 or under. That being said, I know of companies who use Groove spaces and have well over 100 members. For instance if yo have thousands of .txt files the impact to everyone’s system and the network will be fairly low.
