Action on server disconnect

Administrative Template: System
Policy Node: MACHINE
Policy Path: Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files
Supported On: At least Microsoft Windows 2000
Help/Explain Text: 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. Tip: To configure this setting without establishing a setting, in Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options, click the Offline Files tab, click Advanced, and then select an option in the When a network connection is lost section. Also, see the Non-default server disconnect actions setting.
Registry Settings: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetCache!GoOfflineAction
