Hi

I'm having problems with the following scenario:

A manager of a department has access to a shared folder that the rest of his
department regularly file documents. This folder is located on at a share on
a Windows 2003 R2 file server. This manager has made this folder, and
sub-folders, available off-line.

If a user other than this manager creates another folder within this folder
it is not marked as available off-line and no files in this folder are
synched.

If the manager navigates to this new folder whilst on-line and creates a
file within it, the file, the folder and all other files within it are now
marked as available off-line.

This is a problem because the manager has no way of know if a user has
created a new folder, unless he's told.

This only happens from an XP client, Vista is fine.

Any ideas, anyone?

You can use this setting in Group Policy:
Computer Config\Admin templates\network\offline files: Subfolders always
available offline, and also set for a full sync on logoff
