Don't have it in front of me, but group policy has a setting for pinning files to be always available offline.

Hey folks. I'm working on a user data migration from Windows 2003 fileservers to 2012 R2 file servers for Windows 7 clients. We're using a pretty standard process for the backend migration. 1) Copy the user's data from old server to new server. 2) Set/verify perms and ownership on the files on new server. 3) Chang the user's AD profile to point their H: drive to the %homedrive% environment variable. 4) Logoff/Login We've enabled Offline Caching on the new server for each user's directory. We are using a "My documents" redirection GP to point their docs to the H: drive. The issue I'm seeing is where if the user had "Always available offline" set so that they would get any offline files synched back to the server when they re-connected, it's off after we move their profile and they log back on. It looks like the sync partnership from sync center on the machine is out of date with the old server's settings. Does anyone know of a way to automatically re-create the sync partnership on a user by user or computer by computer basis after this type of migration without the user having to right click and choose the "Always available offline" setting, or by manually going to sync center to set things back up ? Thanks, Don K
