Auto sync briefcase?

[Guest Hank Arnold (MVP)]

I'm trying to set up a laptop for our nurses. They mostly work off line

and connect to the network (directly or via VPN) to either sync their

medical database with the master on the server or work connected via our

Citrix PS4 farm.

 

They have no local applications installed on the laptop other than the

medical database client software and the Citrix ICA client. Only one

network drive is defined and no printers (HIPAA concerns)...

 

I've been asked to try and make some network files available to the

nurses so that they can edit them in disconnected mode and then

send/upload to the network.

 

I've looked at several options, but they all seem to focus on syncing

one or more folders and this isn't practical.

 

I've looked at the Briefcase function and it seems as if it might meet

my requirements, but I need to automate the syncing of the files. I

don't see a way other than manual.

 

Is there a way to automate the syncing of the files in the briefcase?

 

TIA...
