Thanks for your reply,
I want all user My Document to stay on the server. Does
the disable of Offline Files/Folders have to be done on
each workstation? I will also need to be sure that folder
redirection is enabled, how and where is this?
Can anyone answer if this will also look after the TS
Session (Admin Mode) when I log in as a user?
