I have set up roaming profiles and redirected folders in an sbs 2011 domain, using GPO.<br />
I have configured desktop and documents to be redirected, and everything else as a roaming profile.<br />
<br />
For laptop users I assumed that when they took their laptop home that the desktop would be available offline, and then would sync again when they connected to the windows VPN.<br />
However, when at home the desktop is not available and thus produces an error - until they connect to the VPN AND refresh the desktop.<br />
<br />
The server is sbs 2011<br />
the clients are mostly windows 7, with some XP SP3.<br />
The VPN is windows routing and remote access VPN<br />
<br />
What is the correct setup for this scenario (most laptop users work in the office but occasionally take their laptops home at the weekend).
