2k3 My documents sync to domain problem

parttimetechguy · 08-12-2009, 02:30 PM

Hi Everyone

I have a small Domain + 5 workstation set up. A prof. IT guy helped me set it up a while back.
Basics that I know of:
1)We have a K:\ main network drive with all the network applications
-ie, clientele database program,
2)We have a H:\ serparate network drive that stores all the users "My Documents" this drive reconnects at start up like the main network drive.

The 'My documents' on each workstation use to sync when logging off, but after about a year now, I've noticed it stopped syncing after I log off.

I've googled this topic for about a month now and I've tried,
Start > explore > tools > Sync
- It shows the screen that lists everything I can choose to sync...
- BUT there's nothing on the screen and I can't add anything manually

Same thing happened with "Offline Files" setting.
-I wasn't able to add the folders I wanted to sync to my domain computer.

Tried to find the "Group policy" thing in the Domain machine but I don't see it and I can only find the "users" folder that lists all the created login accounts.

Can someone please tell me how I would fix this?? As I've lost contact with the IT prof. that helped me set it up initially

Update: I know there's a logon / logoff script that the accounts were assigned to.
What I haven't been able to figure out is, how to assign each computer to USE the script.

I tried the Active User Directory (in my DOMAIN) but had no luck with it.
After more googling it seems that I need to set each individual workstation to run the script...but again I'm unable to find exactly WHERE I need to go to set that up.

Please help!
