    Offline Files

    Jprunty posted a topic in Windows 10

    I am having issues with syncing offline files. I have set it all up in Group policy and it pulls down, but when I go to Offline files it is stuck on "Ready for first Synchronisation" and doesn't do anything. If I run it manually, it works, but it will not sync on its own. If I manually create a schedule for it, this works, but I need a way to do this for all of our computers so I really need to be able to run this sync through a command line or group policy. I have tried using the scheduled task that the program creates when setting up a schedule, but it is linked to the users SID and so makes it difficult to do anything with. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Yes, I added to the computer OU and other registry settings are showing up when applied. I looked at the registry and it looks as though SYSTEM only has read access on those keys. The only one with read/write access to those keys is the trustedinstaller from what I can see. Is there any way to get the SYSTEM account added to it? I tried to do this manually but didn't have access rights.

    Thank you for this, it is very helpful. I have tried to add these in, but the settings don't pull down to the computer. I tried a change in the root of the folder (Shell) and that changed, so the registries are pulling down. I think the issue is that group policy is not applying them with the trustedinstaller account and so does not have permission to add into the "windows.S...." reg keys. How did you give it access to be able to implement the keys?

    I suppose it probably isn't a huge threat, but they could change a text file to a .bat or ps1 or a python file to run. I realise the restrictions should stop them running any of them but I would rather, if possible, lock it down so that isn't an option. We also have email filters on Zip files as they can be harmful, but a student could download anything at home, change the file type to txt, send the file to themselves or bring it in on a usb then change it back on site and unzip it. We have had something similar before. So I would feel better if it were locked down.

    Thank you, How did you get it to apply? When I tried to it wouldn't add them. I found out that its because the only account that has access is trustedinstaller. Is there a way to allow GPO to edit the reg?

    Thanks for the reply. I have blocked access that area and the settings are by default correct, however, they can still get to the "view tab" in file explorer and change it as it has checkboxes for "hidden Items" and "File name exceptions". If possible I want to remove the "computer" and "View" tabs from File explorer, but these two options are the most important.

    Hello, At the moment students can go to file explorer|View and enable "File name extensions" and "Hidden Items", is there a way to block/hide these through Group policy. I have disabled access to the folder options, but they can still get to these two check boxes. I found a potential fix in the registry, but the reg keys are only accessible to "TrustedInstaller" So I can't edit them. Any help would be appreciated.

    So after looking at another issue I happened across the reason this is not working. Basically, STP being enabled on the switches is causing the problem. If I disable STP on the switch it works. I don't really want to do this as it leaves the network vulnerable against loopbacks. I have tried MSTP and RSTP which have portfast, but still the same issue. Any ideas?

    Hello, I have an issue on my windows network where Applications pushed out through Group policy will only install if I connect the computer to a miniswitch/unmanaged switch. If it is plugged directly into the port it will not work (The policy will apply but the software will not install). If I then plug that port into a mini switch, then plug that into the computer it pulls down fine. It seems to be only with windows 10 machines that I have noticed it on, from what I can see win 7 machines pull down the software properly. Please could someone help me with this as I am unsure why this would happen. Thank you for your help.
