Exclude pst and mdb files from sync
On a 2003 sbs network running windows xp pro on the client machine. I have redirected the users my documents on their laptop to their home folder on the server, the client tries to sync their home folder on shutdown but it fails as mdb and pst files cannot be made available offline, how and where can i set a policy to exclude pst and mdb files from syncing
ASKER
I have edited the default domain policy and added *.pst;*.mdb to the offline files section and enabled the policy and rebooted the laptop but it still throws up erros that it cannot sync .mdb and .pst files
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar
".mdb"=dword:00000001
".mdw"=dword:00000001
".pst"=dword:00000001
".ldb"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar
".mdb"=dword:00000001
".mdw"=dword:00000001
".pst"=dword:00000001
".ldb"=dword:00000001
See if that helps....
When you go to RSOP, does it show as being applied ?

RSOP ?

Resultant Set of Policy, sorry

Maybe I have to delete the offline versions first and run a sync again
start>run>rsop.msc...
It is the Resultant Set of Policy....
Look at Computer Config>Admin Templates>Network>Offline Files>Files not Cached....
You can specify at the GPO level what extensiosn you dont want to cache.....

Yes when I run the above command and got to the specified path I can see files not cached and *.pst; *.mdb is specified and greyed out
ASKER
I have set *.pst; *.mdb in both the default domain policy and the local policy and rebooted the machine
ASKER
I note it is also trying to synchronise a drive that was connected from a previous server, even though the drive and server have been removed the reference is still there under items to synchronise, I would also like to get rid of these entried but can't seem to find a place to remove them even in the registry
