offline files sync problem coming out of hibernation


Recommended Posts

I have an XP PRo computer connected to a Win 2000 domain, with offline files

configured (My Documents and Desktop). Both folders are redirected and

Available Offline. This is setup in a GPO and works fine. Except I have one

Sony VAIO laptop that has a problem synchronizing offline files when coming

out of Hibernation. The user hibernates her PC, then comes into the office

plugs it in and brings it out of hibernation. The system aquires a new IP

address and can get on the internet. But the little blue and white computer

icon down by the clock keeps telling her she needs to sync her offline files.

If she double clicks this icon and starts a sync, then everything works

fine. But before she does that she cannot access any network shares, or

network printers.

Under the offline files syncronization setup, I have enabled sync during

logon and logoff, and at random times during the day. Isn't there a way to

tell the system to sync automatically when it comes out of hibernation and

connects to a new network? The user finds it difficult to remember to

manually start the sync, and usually panics when she cannot print or access

the server shares.

Thanks for any help.
