Offline files is on, but can't select files to sync?
We have a laptop on our network, SBS2011 domain controller, the laptop is running Windows 7 pro and is a member of the domain. We have all our other laptops using offline files successfully. On this one laptop, offline files is enabled, and we have a mapped drive to the server that holds the files we want to sync. When we right click on the folder, and choose make available offline......NOTHING happens..... we see no changes, and no sync is taking place..... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Not to sound silly.....but if you resolve it before someone else has an opportunity to help , do you still award points and accept a solution? Just want to follow protocol and appreciate your attempt to help. Please advise to be fair to all.
Then you do not give anybody the point and place the solution in the post. Mark you post as the answer, so when other individual(s) experience the same issue they are able to research and find it.

I ran gpupdate /force on the workstation.... then I tried again to make files available off line and it worked. The only thing I did different was to force a group policy update first.
