As stated by others, you can use group policies to do the folder redirection and turn off offline files. We have exactly that setup and it works wonderful.

You can manage the folders with the policy editor on your catalog server. If you're familiar with the registry, you can change the values directly. See under HKU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer Look folder the folders "User shell folders" and "Shell Folders" It's true, if the network goes away and your folder are pointing to a network share, windows will act a bit confused. To avoid this, you should change the values described above under HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT So far i remember, windows will look there, if the defined path is no more available. ============================================ Am Donnerstag, 18.
