Hello: I am working with redirecting My Documents in
various sites. I have some follow up questions to the thread I started a few
months ago. Some sites have poor connectivity. There is no
replication of data between sites (for home directories). Laptop users use
Offline Files. Single domain, W2k. All redirection is handled via User GPOs. The root Home directory resides on a file server at
each site; users at that site point there based on the GPO. Security is defined
as per MSKB 274443. Where to apply the GPO? As Aric
pointed out, applied at the Site level will cause users to redirect to the
local Home share when they just drop by with their laptops. What happens to
Offline Files in this case? It seems better to create OUs
for uses at each Site and apply the GPO there. Under this scenario, would Slow
Link Detection prevent the redirection from trying to find Home over the slow
WAN link? Would it then just resort to Offline Files? Finally, if we use DFS to create a unified
namespace, all user home directories would be created under a single Home
directory. Without folder replication, how would we control the Site and file
server where the folder actually gets created? Many TIA. -- nme |
