All I would like to find out if anyone has suffered from the same issues we are during migration from W2k/XP to Windows 7. Having implemented folder redirection with offline files user now have the ability to roam freely around the enterprise and have access to all data required. The problem exists when Windows 7 seems to transistion into offline Slow link mode and users are unaware. Somehow they lose access drive mappings and files do not sync back to the server. Upon checking the relevent event logs I cannot see that the machine did in fact transition to offline mode as a result of the latency being above the default 80ms. I did however come across a hotfix from MS that may explain it. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=981872 Here are some other useful links for offline files and folder redirection. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff633429(WS.10).aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/netro/archive/2010/04/09/how-the-synchronization-in-windows-7-offline-files-works.aspx http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/et-EE/w7itpronetworking/thread/9120d783-6120-43c0-861f-a5ae1c48825a Adrian Adrian Burns
