Hello all, hope you can help. I 'look after' a Small Business Server 2003 machine, for a small business (unsurprisingly). We have about 10-15 laptop users who use the Offline Files system to synchronise various files and folders that they may work on away from the office.

Problem is someone keeps synching very old versions of files and whole folders back onto the server that have been deleted or moved some time previously. These peticular folders are not ones that should be being used offline at all in the first place.

I will delete these unwanted folders, only to see they have re-appeared the next day.

1) Is there a log somewhere that i can use to track down which user is doing this, and subsequently address this at the source?
2) Can I change settings on selected sub folders so that they cannot be Made Available Offline, thereby stopping it from happening in future?

Many thanks for any help you can offer me.
