Breaking and Fixing Offline Files

Today I was working on conifguring Offline files on a Server 2008 install (DFSR was not supported in the environment)  when I messed things up pretty good.  I had accidentally added a folder location that I didn’t want to (root C$ of another server) and could not remove it through the sync center.  To remove the folders, I went to C:\Windows\CSC and replaced the Owner of the CSC folder with myself and then deleted the files.  BAD/WRONG!  After I did that, offline folders would no longer work for any file shares.  I was stumped.

After some googling, I was able to find the following article which reset the entire CSC folder for me:
