Offline Files and 'Make Avaliable Offline' Option
I have a client who is using windows xp sp1a and win 2003
server (all patches installed). They use the in-built "make files available offline" feature. Currently they use it on a network share so that while out of the office, they can still use the information on a network drive. The system works really well until someone creates a new folder. At which point, windows and its offline folders ignore it entirely. I have a horrible feeling that this is by design, but I can't help feeling this is silly. If the new folder resides somewhere where the user can see it (e.g. a folder in the root), the user can see the folder does not have the blue available offline logo, and manually add it to his/her offline folder collection. The problem is really when the folder is not visible (e.g. nestled within a file system). Even the creator of the folder has to manually make it available (and this only then applies to his/her machine/profile). I really need a solution where I can add a drive letter to be offline in someone's profile and not have to worry about anything that takes place inside that share. Any ideas? I searched through the TechNet articles and tried the manual and automatic options, including the server side options but to no avail. Both I and my client are Action Pack Partners but I haven't been able to talk to anyone so far to sort it. Kind Regards James MCP |
