Hi - Configuraiton: All users have their My Documents redirected to network shares. All XP (and most 2000) users have My Documents set to synchronize Offline Files. All are set to synchronize at log on and log off. Many users have complained that when they log off, they see not only their files synchronize but also the files of other users who have user profiles on that machine. Often they will get permissions errors on the other users' files since the home directories are secured as per MSKB 274443. This is a hassle because it stalls at the end of the sync (waiting to have someone acknowledge the error) and because it takes so long. Is this behaviour as expected? Why is it synchronizing other users' files? Is there a way to prevent this? Thanks. -- nme

What I did was set the policy to turn off the file sync for offline files which automatically is set with folder redirection. If they are on the network they don't really need offline file going as they are always online. For laptops I can understand but then generally only one user uses those machines.

This is by design (albeit bad IMO) IIRC this wont occur if 3 or fewer profiles sync , due to design. steve ----- Original Message ----- From: Noah Eiger To: ActiveDir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 6:24 PM Subject: [ActiveDir] Offline Files Question Hi - Configuraiton: All users have their My Documents redirected to network shares.

You can work around it, not really an easy fix though. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;811660 "steve patrick" To Sent by: ActiveDir-owner@m cc ail.activedir.org Subject Re: [ActiveDir] Offline Files 09/08/2005 10:52 Question PM Please respond to ActiveDir@xxxxxxx tivedir.org This is by design (albeit bad IMO) IIRC this wont occur if 3 or fewer profiles sync , due to design. steve ----- Original Message ----- From: Noah Eiger To: ActiveDir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 6:24 PM Subject: [ActiveDir] Offline Files Question Hi - Configuraiton: All users have their My Documents redirected to network shares.
