Alix,

On my particular configuration though Offline Folders are being controlled
through Group Policy. We have a server and a shared folder called home where
all the home drectories are. The home folder is the folder in GP that is
being replicated. when I tried your solution it didnt work for me. Do you
have any other ideas since this isnt working forme.........its driving me
crazy!!!

Thanks!
