How to setup workstation “My Documents” to sync to DOMAIN on each logon/off

groupssynchronization

Me and a couple buddies started up a small business and we have a Domain + 5 workstation set up. A prof. IT guy helped me set it up a while back.

Basics that I know of:
1)We have a K:\ main network drive with all the network applications
-ie, clientele database program,
2)We have a H:\ serparate network drive that stores all the users "My Documents" this drive reconnects at start up like the main network drive.

The 'My documents' on each workstation use to sync when logging off, but after about a year now, I've noticed it stopped syncing after I log off.

I've googled this topic for about a month now and I've tried,
Start > explore > tools > Sync
– It shows the screen that lists everything I can choose to sync…
– BUT there's nothing on the screen and I can't add anything manually

Same thing happened with "Offline Files" setting.
-I wasn't able to add the folders I wanted to sync to my domain computer.

Tried to find the "Group policy" thing in the Domain machine but I don't see it and I can only find the "users" folder that lists all the created login accounts

Do you really need to sync files? Assuming your domain computers are all desktop PCs, I don't think you do.

It's a whilst since I've used it, but I believe enabling folder redirection also enables offline files, this might be why it is (or was) enabled for you.

Personally, if it was my domain, I would tend to only allow offline files on laptops, and then only when the user has specifically requested the ability to access files offline.
