Hello Everyone,

A quick question regarding offline files & roaming profiles.

I am in the midst of installing a new Windows 2008 R2 domain and now at the
point where I need to implement GPO.

I have two types of users.

1. Which need too have offline files ( senior mgmt )
2. Normal users ( should not be able to use offline files )

==============================================================

If you use Roaming User Profiles, you can use Folder Redirection to reduce
the total size of your Roaming Profile and make the user logon and logoff
process more efficient for the end-user. When you deploy Folder Redirection
with Roaming User Profiles, the data synchronized with Folder Redirection is
not part of the roaming profile and is synchronized in the background by
using Offline Files after the user has logged on. Therefore, the user does
not have to wait for this data to be synchronized when they log on or log
off as is the case with Roaming User Profiles

==============================================================

so if I disable offline files for user type two will that than affect the
roaming profiles i.e. logon times?

Please shed some light in this area will be much appreciated.

cheers

Rob
