Prevent access to Skip/Setup option in Offline File Synchronization

-

hello!

title sums up. want prevent users ability bypass offline file synchronization during login/logoff. option in group policy 'prohibit user configuration of offline files "removes offline files tab folder options dialog box. removes settings item offline files context menu , disables settings button on offline files status dialog box. result, users cannot view or change options on offline files tab or offline files dialog box." there no setting, however, have found prevents user being interactive synchronization process, need have happen.

same menu available in explorer under tools>synchronization. need not case well.

info appreciated!

edit: server 2003 env. w/xp sp3 clients

hi eric,

 

i afraid there no specific settings disable user access "stop" , "detail" buttons.

 

however, based on further research, can prevents users making network files , folders available offline via group policy setting.

 

administrative templates\network\offline files\ remove 'make available offline'

 

this setting removes make available offline option file menu , context menus in windows explorer. result, users cannot designate files saved on computer offline use.  however, setting not prevent system saving local copies of files reside on network shares designated automatic caching.  this setting appears in computer configuration , user configuration folders. if both settings configured, setting in computer configuration takes precedence on setting in user configuration.

 

hope helps.
