Offline files -access denied

[jamwatn]

Hey,

I've just rebuilt school onto a new domain. One of the teachers' has a workgroup machine and after reconnecting her home folder to the new server, I'm unable to set the drive to 'Available offline', I get an access denied error.

Any ideas? I've done some good searching and I've come up with various things but nothing concrete.

Thanks

On the the file server have you added permissions for staff to see all folders in the share?

EG. \\server\users$\Bob

bob would need to have access to see all folders in the users$ share, doesnt need to be able to inside other peoples folders though.

A question for you: I see you've got 'Sync all offline files before logging off' and 'Sync all offline files when logging on' set to enabled. Does this have a siginificant impact on logon/logoff speed? I can imagine staff here trying to sync gigabytes of data and moaning when it takes a few minutes before logging off!

 

Presumably you've got quotas set and file screening enforced to prevent anything too big being copied across?

Staff have quotas set on their drive of 10gb.

 

Had it setup like that for a few years and not had any issues with login times.

 

The sync all button takes just a few seconds to finish. Only time it would ever be a issue is if that put loads of data on their laptop out of school. Think its a background task though as i have never seen the logon delayed for sync tasks.

i dont think those policies apply post windows xp (the explanation text at the side looks to confirm that)
