[Samba] Are folder redirection and offline files mutually exclusive?

[JD Daniels]

The folder redirection doesn't care nor understand how it gets to the 
network machine. - it works the same no matter what version of samba you 
use.

If you aren't using Group policy to enable folder redirection, how are 
you doing it?

If you are simply pointing the library to network folders, you will have 
to enable offline files manually.

Do you get an error regarding syncing? Does it attempt to sync? What 
does it say in the windows 7 sync center?
