Offline Files Problem

[ringfinger]

I'm having an issue with offline files with the GM & SVP of my property, needless to say I'm desperate for an answer! Our users have a desktop which is housed on our main fileserver, therefor when they unplug they lose their personally created files and folders. This isn't flying with the big boss so I enabled Offline Files. However for some reason it only brings down about half of the files and folders on his desktop! I don't know what the issue is... he has about 96 combined files and folders on the network desktop taking up about 1GB. I had him log off (on the network) and then log back in (off the network) and only half of his files were there. I've found a few tools like SyncToy and cachemov by searching the forum, but I want something automated and bullet proof.

Any ideas why it would only be syncing half his desktop??

Thanks MSFN

Sounds like an offline files cache size configuration issue, honestly.

It's not a file size issue, his whole Desktop is only 1GB and the default % for offline files is just over 2GB.

it appears I was just to impatient. When I first enabled Offline Files I only set it to sync when logging off. So the first time I logged off I didn't wait long enough before undocking and testing offline. So the reason why I only showed half the files is because only half actually downloaded and synced before I brought it off the network.

I deleted all the offline files, selected to Sync during Log On and Log off and that did it.
