hi, sorry that i wrote this like missunderstanding,
what i mean you can fully control offline file/directory behavior
with NTconfig.pol for user ,groups ,client machines
so this is the tool/function you need
i use it to disable offline files on workstations and have it possible
with laptop with different samba shares.
there are a lot of ohter features possible, so exclude filestypes etc..
Regards
