Hello Dave,
Thank you for posting here.
According to your description, I understand that you want to make a few
users who travel to a remote office do not access My Document on SBS but
access local My Document instead. If I have misunderstood the problem,
please don't hesitate to let me know.
Based on my research, when you join a client computer to SBS domain thru
connectcomputer, the client My Document will be redirect to SBS
automatically. The folder redirection is perform thru group policy. If you
want to make the remote clients do not do the My Document redirection, we
can enable the "Group Policy slow link detection" policy for the client
computers.
When this Group Policy is applied to the computer or to the user, the IP
slow link detection mechanism is always used. By default, if a slow link is
detected, some forms of Group Policy are not applied (including folder
redirection policy). For more information about which Group Policy
components do not apply, and about how to modify this behavior, click the
following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:
Default behavior for Group Policy extensions with slow linkhttp://support..microsoft.com/?id=227369
I suggest we try the following steps to enable "Group Policy slow link
detection" policy:
1. Please open Server Management console on SBS
2. Extend to Advanced Management->Group Policy Management->Forest:
domain.local->Domains->domain.local
3. Right-click the "Small Business Server Folder Redirection", select Edit.
4. Expand the Computer Configuration node and locate the Administrative
Templates\System\Group Policy folder. Modify the Group Policy slow link
detection policy.
To change the slow link detection speed for SBS when user Group Policy is
being applied, expand the User Configuration node and locate the Group
Policy slow link detection policy.
In either case, the value must be specified in kbps. To disable slow link
detection, use 0 (zero) for this value. By default, the connection speed is
set to 500 kbps.
Important: The Connection speed value is important, you have to use this
value to make the client computers to distinguish the local or remote
network, thereby select enable or disable folder redirection. You can test
some different values based on your VPN connection speed, and then ensure a
proper value for your remote network.
5. Exit the Group Policy Object Editor.
If you want to know how the client detect the link speed, please refer to
the following KB:
How a slow link is detected for processing user profiles and Group Policyhttp://support.microsoft.com/?id=227260
I hope these steps will give you some help.
Thanks and have a nice day!
Best regards,

| We have a few users who travel to a remote office which is connected
| via a hardware based VPN. They plug their laptops into the network
| and can access the server just as they can in the office -- although
| slower.
|
| However, when they try and access a document, photo, music, etc.. in
| their "my docs" folder, it is sending them to the main office over the
| VPN. Therefore, the performance is pretty miserable.
|
| When a computer is added to SBS 2003 via the connectcomputer web page
| route, does the "Slow Link Settings" (can't remember the exact
| registry entry name) get set or do we need to tweak that for the
| laptop users?
|
| Ideally, we'd want them to access their local my docs folder when at
| the remote office and just sync at logoff or next time they go to the
| main office.
|
| Any help would be greatly appreciated.
|
| Thank you.

Hi Terrence,
Thank you very much for your explanation. I think it is what I'm
looking for. If I want to disable folder direction for any remote
office, what would be an acceptable value? It is even slow over a
standard 1.5mb DSL link. Also, is it possible to still sync offline
files manually if the user wants to do so?
Thanks much.
