We got redirection and for some users offline folders enabled as follows: Desktops: no offline folders but redirection Laptop: offline folders enabled (sync on logon and logoff) Most of our users travelling a lot have a laptop, but if they go to one of our sites they usually prefer to log on locally. None of them ever reported one of the issues you mention below and for other users just using the desktop depending on where their files are stored only complain that working with these files (my documents) is slow as opening takes quite long. Our users swap permanently PC's so I am sure I would have heard about this. Can't say more about this. Kat

The recent question on offline files & Folder redirection reminded me of a related situation that I suspect others are dealing with: We have several users who wouldn't normally travel, so they are given desktops. Say this user does travel to a location that has typical T1 WAN connectivity back to the server where their "My Documents" are stored. They log onto another user's pc - twice. Upon the second logon, XP happily pulls their "MyDocs" across the WAN, causing the network folks to dislike XP. Since this happens before logon completes, a user with a large "MyDocs" ends up thinking the pc is hung, and they have no way to stop the process. If only Microsoft would provide a Group Policy to enable a "cancel" button or a button labeled "Click here if you are using this pc temporarily" while folder redirection is coping all their data when they log onto a pc. Even better would be to disable the local copying for future logins for that user. Does anyone have a solution for this? Some things we have come up with are: * Identify folks who travel infrequently, make sure they have laptops ($$) * Provide hotel pcs at each location that has offline files disabled for all users $$ * Write some sort of script that disables offline files whenever a user from another ad-site logs in. Problem is when the primary user logs back in, it may have to re-sync. Any thoughts?
