Dear All,
I want to enable Offline Files support on several Win2K SP4 laptops. We
have a samba file server. I have researched as much as I could to get
answers and here is what I have. I am unfortunately unable to get this
working properly. If anyone can answer or point me in to a good resource,
I would greatly appreciate that. I am attempting to offline profile
directories mapped to network drive letter X:. Here is my config for the
profiles share:
-----------------
[Profiles]
comment = Shared User Profiles
path = /home
invalid users = nobody, guest
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
map acl inherit = Yes
case sensitive = Yes
hide special files = Yes
store dos attributes = Yes
csc policy = documents
dos filemode = Yes
dos filetime resolution = Yes
-----------------
I get an error similar to the following for every file that I try to make
available offline:
Could not make 'somthing.doc' available offline. The specified file can
not be found.
If I create a new file, it appears as available offine, but I can neither
delete nor rename it.
At that point I usually start to get an Access Denied error on the entire
shared drive and am forced to restart.
The share is stored on a RHEL 3 server running Samba 3.0.9-1.3E.5 with an
EXT3 file system with ACL support enabled.
I have also included my global configuration at the bottom of this email.
Here is my test procedure.
-I make a share available offline.
-It synchronizes showing all current files as "Unable to make
'file.txt'
available offine on '\\server_b\profiles\testuser\My Documents'. The
system
cannot find the file specified."
-I create new files in the folder while online. They appear oplocked in
samba status:
DENY_NONE RDWR EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /home/testuser/My Documents/New Text
Document.txt
-I attempt to give the file a name. This results in "X:\My Documents
folder does not exist. Do you want to create it?"
-The oplock is removed.
-If I edit the file and attempt to save changes, I get "This file exists
with Read Only attributes. Please use a different name."
-If I then name the file something else, the file is created on the
windows side and appears offline available. The file appears on the samba
server also.
-If I try to save this file again, I repeat the "This file exists with
Read Only attributes..." situation from above.
-Now, if I take the computer "offline" by disconnecting the NIC...
all
files behave normally.
-After reconnecting, all files that were changed on windows while offline
are synced to the samba server.
Could this have something to do with case sensitivity or such?
ANY help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks! -Cheers, Peter.

Hi, yo can do disabling offline features via NTconfig.pol for users and/or machines and different folders study google and smb faqs how to use this Regards pfb4212@rit.edu schrieb:> Dear All, > I want to enable Offline Files support on several Win2K SP4 laptops.

Robert,
Ah, I now see what you are meaning... I have used the Active Directory
policy manager to create the policies that I want and have successfully run
offline files from a Windows server, my trouble is that when I move to a
Samba server, the Windows PCs have improper behavior. (i.e. files can not
be accessed even with proper permissions, applications report the files as
non-existant, etc.) I am thinking that my problem is either related to
my Samba configuration or my Samba version. How does my configuration file
compare to your configuration?
Thanks so much! -Cheers, Peter.

Re: [Samba] [Repost] Offline Files

hi, sorry that i wrote this like missunderstanding,
what i mean you can fully control offline file/directory behavior
with NTconfig.pol for user ,groups ,client machines
so this is the tool/function you need
i use it to disable offline files on workstations and have it possible
with laptop with different samba shares.
there are a lot of ohter features possible, so exclude filestypes etc..
