Synching it with what?

Describe what you want todo

so the roaming profile can be offline..eg when not connected to the server the user profile is still there

What? In outlook?

We need more information, i.e. "I am using X application, version N. When I do Y, it doesn't do Z. I would like it to do Z. My server is a W server, running version R".

Get the idea?

Never had much dealing with roaming profiles - cheated and used batch scripts / ADS to setup new users on PC's

Depends on the location of the PST and OST files.
Any PST file must be in a common place where all profiles can see it. Otherwise email gets scattered.
OST files on local machines will download email to get up to date - so unless a laptop user best on server too, and even then you might have to kill the file and rebuild it.

You could also setup a script to setup email for new users using profile.exe on the office resource kit and using %username% as the variable. - it's messy to setup AND no use for roaming profiles since email is already setup on the profile.

Set Fold=\\Server\pstfolder
Set PST=%USERNAME%
Profile.exe
start EmailRegistrySettings.reg (to add in junk/fixes)


Another option would be to setup outlook on their main machine and setup OWA on the sever and put a link to the web server on the desktop.

If you have Office2003 used Exchange cached mode to carry in place of PST and enable RPC over HTTP if you happen to have OWA enabled for your corp server.
