Hmm. When dwelling in Dol Guldur, Sauron was basically biding his time, rebuilding his power and refining his plans, it seems. I don't think he was much involved with offensive operations in the days before Celeborn and Galadriel founded Lórien.
Before they were there, why would he have felt it necessary to worry about Lórinand anyway? It was only a small settlement of Silvan Elves. There was a much larger contingent in Mirkwood, on his doorstep. If he'd been capable of any action against his foes, I'd think they would have been the greater threat to him.
