I have a problem with folder redirection on Windows 7 client + Windows 2008 Server R2. The problem is files created in redirected folders (e.g. My Documents) never get synced back to the server. It turned out that for some reason these folders are in offline mode all the time, even after logoff or restart.
The client is a fresh install and we did not set anything regarding offline files. I wonder if there is any group policy settings that make redirected folders synced with the server correctly without having to force it on the client machine?
Best Answer
You can view the group policy settings in effect by running the command:
gpresult /z > gp.txt
The applicable settings and the scope (machine or user) are below. You may want to test "Synchronize all offline files before logging off". Enabling this setting forces a "Full Synchronization", and "a full synchronization synchronizes automatically cached files as well." This would probably cause a noticeable delay during the logoff process.
