Laptop - Unable to save documents when offline

[Iain.Faulkner]

Hi,

 

Not sure if this is the right place for this or not, but heregoes anyway.

 

I've got a users laptop that I've just reconfigured to work on our new network/domain. I've set him as a local user, ensured that his home drive is available offline and synchronised everything between the server and the laptop. When attached to the network, the laptop is fine, he can access his documents, save them, save new ones etc etc. But as soon as you take the laptop offline, the ability to save documents is severly affected.

 

When the user tries to save a document, a progress bar appears on screen and scrolls to the end then the laptop freezes for approximately 20 minutes at which point it crashes out.

 

Anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?

 

Cheers in advance.
