<string id="Pol_AlwaysPinSubFolders">Subfolders always available offline</string>
<string id="Pol_AlwaysPinSubFolders_Help">Makes subfolders available offline whenever their parent folder is made available offline.
This setting automatically extends the "make available offline" setting to all new and existing subfolders of a folder. Users do not have the option of excluding subfolders.
If you enable this setting, when you make a folder available offline, all folders within that folder are also made available offline. Also, new folders that you create within a folder that is available offline are made available offline when the parent folder is synchronized.
If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the system asks users whether they want subfolders to be made available offline when they make a parent folder available offline.</string>
<string id="Pol_AssignedOfflineFiles_Help">This policy setting lists network files and folders that are always available for offline use. This ensures that the the specified files and folders are available offline to users of the computer.
If you enable this policy setting, the files you enter are always available offline to users of the computer. To specify a file or folder, click Show, and then click Add. In the "Type the name of the item to be added" box, type the fully qualified UNC path to the file or folder. Leave the "Enter the value of the item to be added" field blank.

If you do not configure this policy setting, no files or folders are made always available for offline use.
Note: This setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both settings are configured, the settings will be combined and all specified files will be available for offline use.</string>
<string id="Pol_CustomGoOfflineActions">Non-default server disconnect actions</string>
<string id="Pol_CustomGoOfflineActions_Help">Determines how computers respond when they are disconnected from particular offline file servers. This setting overrides the default response, a user-specified response, and the response specified in the "Action on server disconnect" setting.
To use this setting, click Show, and then click Add. In the "Type the name of the item to be added" box, type the server's computer name. Then, in the "Type the value of the item to be added" box, type "0" if users can work offline when they are disconnected from this server, or type "1" if they cannot.
This setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both settings are configured for a particular server, the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration. Both Computer and User configuration take precedence over a user's setting. This setting does not prevent users from setting custom actions through the Offline Files tab. However, users are unable to change any custom actions established via this setting.
Tip: To configure this setting without establishing a setting, in Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options, click the Offline Files tab, and then click Advanced. This setting corresponds to the settings in the "Exception list" section.</string>
<string id="Pol_DefCacheSize_Help">Limits the percentage of the computer's disk space that can be used to store automatically cached offline files.
This setting also disables the "Amount of disk space to use for temporary offline files" option on the Offline Files tab. This prevents users from trying to change the option while a setting controls it.
Automatic caching can be set on any network share. When a user opens a file on the share, the system automatically stores a copy of the file on the user's computer.
This setting does not limit the disk space available for files that user's make available offline manually.
If you enable this setting, you can specify an automatic-cache disk space limit.
If you disable this setting, the system limits the space that automatically cached files occupy to 10 percent of the space on the system drive.
If you do not configure this setting, disk space for automatically cached files is limited to 10 percent of the system drive by default, but users can change it.
Tip: To change the amount of disk space used for automatic caching without specifying a setting, in Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options, click the Offline Files tab, and then use the slider bar associated with the "Amount of disk space to use for temporary offline files" option.</string>
<string id="Pol_Enabled">Allow or Disallow use of the Offline Files feature</string>
<string id="Pol_Enabled_Help">Determines whether the Offline Files feature is enabled.
This setting also disables the "Enable Offline Files" option on the Offline Files tab. This prevents users from trying to change the option while a setting controls it.
Offline Files saves a copy of network files on the user's computer for use when the computer is not connected to the network.
If you enable this setting, Offline Files is enabled and users cannot disable it.
If you disable this setting, Offline Files is disabled and users cannot enable it.

Note: To make changes to this setting effective, you must restart Windows.</string>
<string id="Pol_EncryptOfflineFiles">Encrypt the Offline Files cache</string>
<string id="Pol_EncryptOfflineFiles_Help">This setting determines whether offline files are encrypted.
Offline files reside on a user's hard drive, not the network, and they are stored in a local cache on the computer. Encrypting this cache enhances security on a local computer. If the cache on the local computer is not encrypted, any encrypted files cached from the network will not be encrypted on the local computer. This may pose a security risk in some environments.
If you enable this setting, all files in the Offline Files cache are encrypted. This includes existing files as well as files added later. The cached copy on the local computer is affected, but the associated network copy is not. The user cannot unencrypt Offline Files through the user interface.
If you disable this setting, all files in the Offline Files cache are unencrypted. This includes existing files as well as files added later. The cached copy on the local computer is affected, but the associated network copy is not. The user cannot encrypt Offline Files through the user interface.
If you do not configure this setting, encryption of the Offline Files cache is controlled by the user through the user interface. The current cache state is retained, and if the cache is only partially encrypted, the operation completes so that it is fully encrypted. The cache does not return to the unencrypted state. The user must be an administrator on the local computer to encrypt or decrypt the Offline Files cache.
Note: By default, this cache is protected on NTFS partitions by ACLs.</string>
<string id="Pol_EventLoggingLevel_Help">Determines which events the Offline Files feature records in the event log.
Offline Files records events in the Application log in Event Viewer when it detects errors. By default, Offline Files records an event only when the offline files storage cache is corrupted. However, you can use this setting to specify additional events you want Offline Files to record.
To use this setting, in the "Enter" box, select the number corresponding to the events you want the system to log. The levels are cumulative; that is, each level includes the events in all preceding levels.
"0" records an error when the offline storage cache is corrupted.
"1" also records an event when the server hosting the offline file is disconnected from the network.
"2" also records events when the local computer is connected and disconnected from the network.
"3" also records an event when the server hosting the offline file is reconnected to the network.
Note: This setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both settings are configured, the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration.</string>
<string id="Pol_ExtExclusionList">Files not cached</string>
<string id="Pol_ExtExclusionList_Help">Lists types of files that cannot be used offline.
This setting lets you exclude certain types of files from automatic and manual caching for offline use. The system does not cache files of the type specified in this setting even when they reside on a network share configured for automatic caching. Also, if users try to make a file of this type available offline, the operation will fail and the following message will be displayed in the Synchronization Manager progress dialog box: "Files of this type cannot be made available offline."
This setting is designed to protect files that cannot be separated, such as database components.
To use this setting, type the file name extension in the "Extensions" box. To type more than one extension, separate the extensions with a semicolon (;).
Note: To make changes to this setting effective, you must log off and log on again.</string>
<string id="Pol_GoOfflineAction">Action on server disconnect</string>
<string id="Pol_GoOfflineAction_Help">Determines whether network files remain available if the computer is suddenly disconnected from the server hosting the files.
This setting also disables the "When a network connection is lost" option on the Offline Files tab. This prevents users from trying to change the option while a setting controls it.
If you enable this setting, you can use the "Action" box to specify how computers in the group respond.
-- "Work offline" indicates that the computer can use local copies of network files while the server is inaccessible.
-- "Never go offline" indicates that network files are not available while the server is inaccessible.
If you disable this setting or select the "Work offline" option, users can work offline if disconnected.
If you do not configure this setting, users can work offline by default, but they can change this option.
This setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both settings are configured, the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration.

If the 'Disable Make Available Offline' policy setting is enabled, this setting has no effect.</string>
<string id="Pol_NoReminders">Turn off reminder balloons</string>
<string id="Pol_NoReminders_Help">Hides or displays reminder balloons, and prevents users from changing the setting.
Reminder balloons appear above the Offline Files icon in the notification area to notify users when they have lost the connection to a networked file and are working on a local copy of the file. Users can then decide how to proceed.
If you enable this setting, the system hides the reminder balloons, and prevents users from displaying them.
If you disable the setting, the system displays the reminder balloons and prevents users from hiding them.
If this setting is not configured, reminder balloons are displayed by default when you enable offline files, but users can change the setting.
To prevent users from changing the setting while a setting is in effect, the system disables the "Enable reminders" option on the Offline Files tab

<string id="Pol_SlowLinkSpeed">Configure Slow link speed</string>
<string id="Pol_SlowLinkSpeed_Help">Configures the threshold value at which Offline Files considers a network connection to be "slow". Any network speed below this value is considered to be slow.
When a connection is considered slow, Offline Files automatically adjust its behavior to avoid excessive synchronization traffic and will not automatically reconnect to a server when the presence of a server is detected.
If you enable this setting, you can configure the threshold value that will be used to determine a slow network connection.
If this setting is disabled or not configured, the default threshold value of 64,000 bps is used to determine if a network connection is considered to be slow.
Note: Use the following formula when entering the slow link value: [ bps / 100]. For example, if you want to set a threshold value of 128,000 bps, enter a value of 1280.</string>
<string id="Pol_SyncAtLogoff">Synchronize all offline files before logging off</string>
<string id="Pol_SyncAtLogoff_Help">Determines whether offline files are fully synchronized when users log off.
This setting also disables the "Synchronize all offline files before logging off" option on the Offline Files tab. This prevents users from trying to change the option while a setting controls it.
If you enable this setting, offline files are fully synchronized. Full synchronization ensures that offline files are complete and current.
If you disable this setting, the system only performs a quick synchronization. Quick synchronization ensures that files are complete, but does not ensure that they are current.
If you do not configure this setting, the system performs a quick synchronization by default, but users can change this option.

<string id="Pol_SyncAtSuspend">Synchronize offline files before suspend</string>
<string id="Pol_SyncAtSuspend_Help">Determines whether offline files are synchonized before a computer is suspended.
If you enable this setting, offline files are synchronized whenever the computer is suspended. Setting the synchronization action to "Quick" ensures only that all files in the cache are complete. Setting the synchronization action to "Full" ensures that all cached files and folders are up-to-date with the most current version.
If you disable or do not configuring this setting, files are not synchronized when the computer is suspended.
Note: If the computer is suspended by closing the display on a portable computer, files are not synchronized. If multiple users are logged on to the computer at the time the computer is suspended, a synchronization is not performed.</string>
<string id="Pol_QuickAdimPin">Turn on economical application of administratively assigned Offline Files</string>
<string id="Pol_QuickAdimPin_Help">This policy setting allows you to turn on economical application of administratively assigned Offline Files.
If you enable this policy setting, only new files and folders in administratively assigned folders are synchronized at logon. Files and folders that are already available offline are skipped and are synchronized later.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, all administratively assigned folders are synchronized at logon.
<string id="Pol_SlowLinkSettings_Help">This policy setting allows you to enable and configure the slow-link mode of Offline Files.
When Offline Files is operating in slow-link mode, all file requests are satisfied from the Offline Files cache, just as when the user is working offline. However, the user can manually initiate synchronization on demand. Once the synchronization completes, the system continues to operate in the slow-link mode until the user transitions the share to online mode.
If you enable this policy setting, Offline Files will operate in slow-link mode if the end-to-end network throughput between the client and the server is below the throughput threshold parameter, or if the network latency is above the latency threshold parameter.
You can configure slow-link mode by specifying thresholds for Throughput (bits per second) and Latency (in milliseconds) for specific UNC paths. You can specify one or both threshold parameters.
When a share is transitioned to slow-link mode, the user can force the share to transition to online mode. However, the system periodically checks to see if a connection to a server is slow. If the connection is slow then the share will again be transitioned to slow-link mode. Note: You can use wildcards (*) for specifying UNC paths.
If you disable or do not configuring this policy setting, Offline Files will not transition to slow-link mode.</string>
<string id="Pol_CacheSize">Limit disk space used by offline files</string>
<string id="Pol_CacheSize_Help">This policy limits the amount of the computer's disk space that can be used to store offline files.
Using this setting you can configure how much total disk space (in Megabytes) is used for storing offline files. This includes the space used by automatically cached files and files that are specifically made available offline. Files can be automatically cached if the user accesses a file on an automatic caching network share.
This setting also disables the ability to adjust, through the Offline Files control panel applet, the disk space limits on the Offline Files cache. This prevents users from trying to change the option while a policy setting controls it.
If you enable this policy setting, you can specify the disk space limit for offline files and also specify how much of that disk space can be used by automatically cached files.
If you disable this policy setting, the system limits the space that offline files occupy to 25 percent of the total space on the drive where the Offline Files cache is located. The limit for automatically cached files is 100 percent of the total disk space limit.
If you do not configure this policy setting, the system limits the space that offline files occupy to 25 percent of the total space on the drive where the Offline Files cache is located. The limit for automatically cached files is 100 percent of the total disk space limit. However, the users can change these values using the Offline Files control applet.
If you enable this setting and specify a total size limit greater than the size of the drive hosting the Offline Files cache, and that drive is the system drive, the total size limit is automatically adjusted downward to 75 percent of the size of the drive. If the cache is located on a drive other than the system drive, the limit is automatically adjusted downward to 100 percent of the size of the drive.
If you enable this setting and specify a total size limit less than the amount of space currently used by the Offline Files cache, the total size limit is automatically adjusted upward to the amount of space currently used by offline files. The cache is then considered "full".
If you enable this setting and specify an auto-cached space limit greater than the total size limit, the auto-cached limit is automatically adjusted downward to equal the total size limit.
This setting replaces the "Default Cache Size" setting used by pre-Windows Vista systems.
