Default Offline File Synchronisation

Hi,

We currently use Offline Files to synchronise our 'my documents' folder with
our home drive on the server. This seems to work perfectly. However one of
our users, who is out of the office more often than everyone else, also
wants to synchronise with another group drive on the server. When he sets up
'Make available offline' and creates a short cut to his offline files folder
on his desktop, it seems that only files are synchronised, not the folder
structure.
Is it possible to have the folder structure copied across too? Or have it
synchronised with a folder not located in the offline files folder i.e.
c:\server_folder?

Cheers

Ben

Default RE: Offline File Synchronisation

Ben,

Do you set this second drive via a logon script?

The way i do this, is to make the group drive a persistent drive using the
net use \\servername\share /persistent (or if using kix use USE instead of
NET USE)

Then get the user to choose the folders he/she would like offline
