Redirected My Documets issue with Laptop Users

[Guest JamesD]

Server 2003 Enviroment

Win XP SP2 Clients.

 

Currently our enviroment is setup with all our users having a "Home" drive

H: on the server. "My Documents" is then redirected to the H:\

 

For some reason, our Notebook users who opperate frequently offline (no

network connection) have noted that when they try to install software or view

pdf's, the opperation will fail because the H: drive is not available

offline.

 

Has anyone experienced this situation and could possibly point me to a

solution?

Hi,

 

I would do Folder Redirection to the Share rather than a specific drive.

Then you need to enable Offline Files.

 

We map users home directories to H: too but My Documents on the desktop is

redirected directly to their server share rather than H:
