Dell Unity: Unable to enable Offline Availability of SMB shares

Starting from Windows 10, when you connect to a (Continuous Availability) CA-enabled share, there is no longer an option to use offline files. Microsoft in Windows 10 has disabled this.

We cannot enable Offline Availability of SMB shares, the option "Offline Availability" of the shares is set to "Manual."

Continuous Availability(CA) is already enabled for the share.

In order to use Offline Availability, we have to disable the Continuous Availability.

Follow these steps to disable the Continuous Availability,

1. Go to SMB Shares on Unity UI under Storage Tab > Access Tab > SMB Shares, Select the SMB share
2. Then select Edit > Advanced > SMB properties
3. Clear the Continuous Availability option.
4. Enable the Offline Availability.
