Re: [Samba] [Repost] Offline Files No Go
Hi Peter, i dont know any bugs with samba and offline files, sync is a complex stuff on native windows servers too, on the samba side there is only this parameter to controll them, so other stuff is client related which can be very fine controlled by adms or/and local machine policies. for sure you should have the latest samba version , and a brand new win client for testing with all patches installed. i recommend study tech net working with offline files. As i did synced homes for laptops last time i had no problem with it, but i was not very lucky about the gereral implementation of this feature in windows. so i did it with rsync wich works more nice. theres only one good stuff and this is the general controll of this behavior in a domain from NTconfig.pol which i like very much Best Regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: Robert, I understand about the configuration options on the Windows side, but what my problem is that no matter what I setup on the windows side, the clients do not behave properly with offline files from my Samba server. If I set them offline from a windows server, there is no problem. I only have issues when I make a samba share available offline. I need to make every user's home directory available offline for laptop travel, but I can't get the system to work. I am really starting to think this is a bug in my version of Samba.
