Hi Noah..
I believe the 500 k is for group policy processing. Some parts of policies
will not process if the client thinks it's a slow link. Although, this is
not the most reliable thing in the world.
There's a separate setting for offline files: Under Computer
Configuration/Administrative Templates/Network/Offline Files/Configure Slow
Link Speed:
Configures the threshold value at which Offline Files considers a network
connection to be "slow". Any network speed below this value is considered
to be slow.
When a connection is considered slow, Offline Files automatically adjust
its behavior to avoid excessive synchronization traffic and will not
automatically reconnect to a server when the presence of a server is
detected.
If you enable this setting, you can configure the threshold value that will
be used to determine a slow network connection.
If this setting is disabled or not configured, the default threshold value
of 64,000 bps is used to determine if a network connection is considered to
be slow.
Note: Use the following formula when entering the slow link value: [ bps /
100]. For example, if you want to set a threshold value of 128,000 bps,
enter a value of 1280.
There are also some settings in there that you can define behavior of some
files, folders, servers etc.
HTH,
John

Hi –
I have several users who appear able to synchronize offline files over
links that are well below the default slow-link value. As far as I can
tell, there are no adjustments to the slow-link settings within group
policy. That is, they are all at the default setting of 500kbps.
Any thoughts on how to trace this down? Also is there a way within GP to
prevent those users from browsing the remote servers at all? (I am sure
there is a way at the router.)
Thanks.
