Offline Files Sync

Urgent help needed.

All, I currently have a GPO to redirect the My Docs folder to the user home share and make it available offline. (win 2008 AD)
I have set the policy to sync on log off/on, but is there a configuration parameter that will let me sync when idle or every so minutes?  
I know you can do this via sync center on individual machines, but I need to configure it on the GPO level,if possible.
This quite urgent so that I can at least prove is/ s not possible.
thanks,

So i guess the answer is "NO" thanks, this is more complicated than necessary.
I re-read your question, and you are right - the answer is no :)  

Offline Files sync occurs at logon, every network change, and at logoff.  A network change can include a wireless network connection link, connecting the ethernet port, or even a VPN connection.  There is no configuration change you can make to enable it to sync outside of these 3 events.

The complex potential solution is yes, very complicated and probably an overkill.

Thank you for the points allocation.
