I have several windows 7 computers networked on a LAN without a server - just workgroups. I do use one computer to "serve" shared folders though. I use Offline Files to keep files on a laptop synchronised with the "server" and centralise all backup activities on the "server". I want to enable Background Sync and Transparent Caching for a more stable setup although these options appear to only be available to domains. Is there any way I can enable these options without setting up a full server and domain? Thanks

Hi, I’m afraid these GPOs need effected in domain server workaround. This article describe offline files and these two GPOs configuration: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff633429(WS.10).aspx Thank you for your understanding.
