offline files my docs redirect
We recently setup up my docs redirect to our Windows 2003 Standard server. We are also using offline files so the sync happens on logon and logoff. My question is are there any intervals for the sync to take place or is it just when you logoff and back on? Is there a way to automate the sync to happen every 10 minutes or every hour? I know that you can right click my documents folder or any other folder under my docs and click sync. I am just worried about my laptop users that work on some files and then decide to run out unexpectedly and their laptops are not synced.

Thanks for the answer. I had talked to guys who actually setup our server and set the my docs redirect and they told me nothing of this xp or win 7 feature.

I spoke too soon. But I am still in the right direction. I set the sync interval when idle to be 1 minute. I added a file to the my docs folder and let the computer sit there on the desktop for about 8 minutes. When I came back it did not sync. Any ideas?
Not sure. could be a process running in the background keeping the machine from going idle. Most likely antivirus is causing the machine not to think it is not idle or maybe something like windows search or something like that.
Windows syncs your offline files for you automatically so that when a network file is changed, the offline copy stored on your computer is also updated, and vice versa. But sometimes you might want to sync your offline files right away to be sure you have the latest versions of files stored on the network. You can use Sync Center to do this.
