Windows 7 and Offline files STILL not working.

All, Here is my setup: 1) Log into your NAS device (for arguments sake, I'll refer to mine as NAS) 2) DONT USE THE BUILT IN HOME SHARES! (they are REALLY a nice feature, but there is no GUI control over them) 3) Create a new share with no public access, I called mine USERS 4) Go into the CIFS share properties and make sure default access is set to READ/WRITE, and DISABLE OPLOCKS, YES DISABLE OPLOCKS 5) Save it and log out of the NAS web interface 6) Log into a computer/server as Domain Admin and hit the nas via its UNC Path, i.e. "\\NAS" 7) Find the USERS share and right click on it and go to properties 8) Go to the security tab 9) Remove the "Everyone" group to strip the permissions (the NAS will add it back but with no permissions - this is OK) 10) Go to advanced 11) Add Domain Admins and give it full control (if you want your admins to be able to access the private files) 12) Add Domain Users and give it full control, BUT set it to THIS FOLDER ONLY (this will prevent users from seeing others private shares) NOTE: Remember that the READYNAS adds the CREATOR/OWNER group by default, so this is why this will work 13) You are done with security settings, so apply and close all of this 14) Make sure your GPs are set up right if you use GPs to redirect docs (Mine is set to \\NAS\USERS\%USERNAME%\My Documents, with exclusive use turned OFF and do not move contents, and do not redirect to local when policy removed) 15) Have your users log in and test! It should work fine. Users can only see other users' folders if they navigate to the NAS, but cannot access them. I hope this helps.

This doesn't work for me either. I created a new share as described above, with oplocks disabled. Created a test user and mapped his home directory to the new share. I created a folder under the user name, put some files in the new folder. I've tried syncing with the registry entries described previously, and without. It doesn't effing work.

A manual sync fails on every file in the offline folder. If I let the laptop sync on its own, then the sync will pass, but go offline and I can't open any of the files because they aren't available.

Extremely frustrating... :evil:

I'm running W7 pro and several 1100's running 4.1.7, the latest as of this writing.
