I figured out, at LEASt why my offline tab was not showing up. I had TWO"
redirection policies affecting my OU, thus, the "other" policy had the
prohibit user from configuration enabled. I have now set that to not
configured.

I will see if that affects the sync check box as well

Well, i am applying it to specific computers in an OU, and set the
loopback
processing mode to enabled, and to Replace.

When i run the rsop, from my machine, it says the policy is applied in
both
the computer configuration side and the user configuration side

The folders are being redirected, so the policy is applying.

I actually made that recommendation on the other post because, before I
understood, how the policies were applied, I had computer configuration
settings and expectingthem to apply to users... and that's when I learned
the
hard lesson of making sure that users are in the OU wher the "user"
settings
are applied, and computers... etc ,etc...
because i had the same experience, where I had all of this nice
redirection
stuff set up, but nothing happened....

Did it sound harsh, i was really trying to be helpful....

is the machine and user in the correct OU WHERE THE POLICY IS BEING
APPLIED?
also run rsop.msc and check if that policy is being applied

It is hard to interpret from the ploicy explanation. But I just ran
a
test
and disabled it at the user and computer configuration side , and to
no
avail. That box remains checked.

I'll keep looking

computer setting should override the user setting, check the policy

I think I may know the answer. Let me know if I am on to
something. I
made
the setting on the Computer configuration side, and not the User
Configuration side. Could that be the reason the setting stays
checked
when
the user's log in?

Ok, in A GPO, i have set to disabled the "Synchronize all
offline
files
before logging off"

When i log onto a workstation that the current GPO affects, if
I
open
up
the
Tools menu, Synchronize, and setup options, I notice that the
box is
checked
to Automatically synchronize the selected items When I log off
my
computer


I thought by disabling that option in the GPO, it would disable
that
option
in the Synchronization settings on the workstation. Why does
it not
diable
that setting?

Thanks
