Ok here is my scenario we have several users at our corporate office that travel and have important data. I just got the domain setup but have not joined them to it. I want when they are here or home or away they see the most current documents. And if something happens I can restore their data.

Not the most elegant solution and is ONLY good for files with single user access.

We configure offline folders on the users personal folder. \\Servername\username

WHenever the user logs on or off, Windows automatically syncs the directories.

The users can modify the files from the local cahce when travelling and then the modified files get copied back to the server folder when they log back on to the network.

DO NOT USE for folders sharedwith other users. There is no conflict resolution if the server copy and notebook copy have both been modified. (It might tell you there is but forget about it).
