Off-Line Folders

[Guest Fearful1138]

Hi

 

I'm having problems with the following scenario:

 

A manager of a department has access to a shared folder that the rest of his

department regularly file documents. This folder is located on at a share on

a Windows 2003 R2 file server. This manager has made this folder, and

sub-folders, available off-line.

 

If a user other than this manager creates another folder within this folder

it is not marked as available off-line and no files in this folder are

synched.

 

If the manager navigates to this new folder whilst on-line and creates a

file within it, the file, the folder and all other files within it are now

marked as available off-line.

 

This is a problem because the manager has no way of know if a user has

created a new folder, unless he's told.

 

This only happens from an XP client, Vista is fine.

 

Any ideas, anyone?

Re: Off-Line Folders

 

You can use this setting in Group Policy:

Computer Config\Admin templates\network\offline files: Subfolders always

available offline, and also set for a full sync on logoff
