# Policy CSP - ADMX_NetworkConnections
->[!TIP]
-> These are ADMX-backed policies and require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](../understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
->
-> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](../understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
->
-> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

-This policy setting determines whether administrators can add and remove network components for a LAN or remote access connection. This setting has no effect on nonadministrators.
-
-If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Install and Uninstall buttons for components of connections are disabled, and administrators aren't permitted to access network components in the Windows Components Wizard.
-
-If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting won't apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
-
-If you disable this setting or don't configure it, the Install and Uninstall buttons for components of connections in the Network Connections folder are enabled. Also, administrators can gain access to network components in the Windows Components Wizard.
-
-The Install button opens the dialog boxes used to add network components. Clicking the Uninstall button removes the selected component in the components list (above the button).
-
-The Install and Uninstall buttons appear in the properties dialog box for connections. These buttons are on the General tab for LAN connections and on the Networking tab for remote access connections.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> When the "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection", "Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection", or "Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection" settings are set to deny access to the connection properties dialog box, the Install and Uninstall buttons for connections are blocked.
->
-> Nonadministrators are already prohibited from adding and removing connection components, regardless of this setting.

-This policy setting determines whether users can configure advanced TCP/IP settings.
-
-If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Advanced button on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box is disabled for all users (including administrators). As a result, users can't open the Advanced TCP/IP Settings Properties page and modify IP settings, such as DNS and WINS server information.
-
-If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting won't apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
-
-If you disable this setting, the Advanced button is enabled, and all users can open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box.
-
-This setting is superseded by settings that prohibit access to properties of connections or connection components. When these policies are set to deny access to the connection properties dialog box or Properties button for connection components, users can't gain access to the Advanced button for TCP/IP configuration.
-
-Changing this setting from Enabled to Not Configured doesn't enable the Advanced button until the user signs out.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Nonadministrators (excluding Network Configuration Operators) don't have permission to access TCP/IP advanced configuration for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting.
-
> [!TIP]
-> To open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box, in the Network Connections folder, right-click a connection icon, and click Properties. For remote access connections, click the Networking tab. In the "Components checked are used by this connection" box, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click the Properties button, and then click the Advanced button.

(By default, users can still delete their private connections, but you can change the default by using the "Prohibit deletion of remote access connections" setting.)
-
-If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting won't apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
-
-If you don't configure this setting, only Administrators and Network Configuration Operators can delete all user remote access connections.
-

+This policy setting determines whether a remote client computer routes Internet traffic through the internal network or whether the client accesses the Internet directly.
When a remote client computer connects to an internal network using DirectAccess, it can access the Internet in two ways: through the secure tunnel that DirectAccess establishes between the computer and the internal network, or directly through the local default gateway.
If you enable this policy setting, all traffic between a remote client computer running DirectAccess and the Internet is routed through the internal network.
-If you disable this policy setting, traffic between remote client computers running DirectAccess and the Internet isn't routed through the internal network.

-This policy setting allows you to manage whether notifications are shown to the user when a DHCP-configured connection is unable to retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server. This retrieval failure is often signified by the assignment of an automatic private IP address"(that is, an IP address in the range 169.254.*.*). This assignment indicates that a DHCP server couldn't be reached or the DHCP server was reached but unable to respond to the request with a valid IP address. By default, a notification is displayed providing the user with information on how the problem can be resolved.
+
+
+Prohibits use of Internet Connection Firewall on your DNS domain network.
-If you enable this policy setting, this condition won't be reported as an error to the user.
+Determines whether users can enable the Internet Connection Firewall feature on a connection, and if the Internet Connection Firewall service can run on a computer.
-If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, a DHCP-configured connection that hasn't been assigned an IP address will be reported via a notification, providing the user with information as to how the problem can be resolved.
+Important: This setting is location aware. It only applies when a computer is connected to the same DNS domain network it was connected to when the setting was refreshed on that computer. If a computer is connected to a DNS domain network other than the one it was connected to when the setting was refreshed, this setting does not apply.
-
+The Internet Connection Firewall is a stateful packet filter for home and small office users to protect them from Internet network security threats.
+If you enable this setting, Internet Connection Firewall cannot be enabled or configured by users (including administrators), and the Internet Connection Firewall service cannot run on the computer. The option to enable the Internet Connection Firewall through the Advanced tab is removed. In addition, the Internet Connection Firewall is not enabled for remote access connections created through the Make New Connection Wizard. The Network Setup Wizard is disabled.

+Note: If you enable the "Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections" policy setting, the "Prohibit use of Internet Connection Firewall on your DNS domain network" policy setting has no effect on computers that are running Windows Firewall, which replaces Internet Connection Firewall when you install Windows XP Service Pack 2.
-
-
-
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Internet Connection Firewall is disabled when a LAN Connection or VPN connection is created, but users can use the Advanced tab in the connection properties to enable it. The Internet Connection Firewall is enabled by default on the connection for which Internet Connection Sharing is enabled. In addition, remote access connections created through the Make New Connection Wizard have the Internet Connection Firewall enabled.

+```
+
+
+
+
+Determines whether administrators can enable and configure the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) feature of an Internet connection and if the ICS service can run on the computer.
+
+ICS lets administrators configure their system as an Internet gateway for a small network and provides network services, such as name resolution and addressing through DHCP, to the local private network.
+
+If you enable this setting, ICS cannot be enabled or configured by administrators, and the ICS service cannot run on the computer. The Advanced tab in the Properties dialog box for a LAN or remote access connection is removed. The Internet Connection Sharing page is removed from the New Connection Wizard. The Network Setup Wizard is disabled.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it and have two or more connections, administrators can enable ICS. The Advanced tab in the properties dialog box for a LAN or remote access connection is available. In addition, the user is presented with the option to enable Internet Connection Sharing in the Network Setup Wizard and Make New Connection Wizard. (The Network Setup Wizard is available only in Windows XP Professional.)
+
+By default, ICS is disabled when you create a remote access connection, but administrators can use the Advanced tab to enable it. When running the New Connection Wizard or Network Setup Wizard, administrators can choose to enable ICS.
+
+Note: Internet Connection Sharing is only available when two or more network connections are present.
+
+Note: When the "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection," "Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection," or "Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection" settings are set to deny access to the Connection Properties dialog box, the Advanced tab for the connection is blocked.
+
+Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from configuring Internet Connection Sharing, regardless of this setting.
+
+Note: Disabling this setting does not prevent Wireless Hosted Networking from using the ICS service for DHCP services. To prevent the ICS service from running, on the Network Permissions tab in the network's policy properties, select the "Don't use hosted networks" check box.

+Determines whether administrators can add and remove network components for a LAN or remote access connection. This setting has no effect on nonadministrators.
+
+If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Install and Uninstall buttons for components of connections are disabled, and administrators are not permitted to access network components in the Windows Components Wizard.
+
+Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Install and Uninstall buttons for components of connections in the Network Connections folder are enabled. Also, administrators can gain access to network components in the Windows Components Wizard.
+
+The Install button opens the dialog boxes used to add network components. Clicking the Uninstall button removes the selected component in the components list (above the button).
+
+The Install and Uninstall buttons appear in the properties dialog box for connections. These buttons are on the General tab for LAN connections and on the Networking tab for remote access connections.
+
+Note: When the "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection", "Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection", or "Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection" settings are set to deny access to the connection properties dialog box, the Install and Uninstall buttons for connections are blocked.

+Determines whether users can configure advanced TCP/IP settings.
+
+If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Advanced button on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box is disabled for all users (including administrators). As a result, users cannot open the Advanced TCP/IP Settings Properties page and modify IP settings, such as DNS and WINS server information.
+
+Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
+
+If you disable this setting, the Advanced button is enabled, and all users can open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box.
+
+Note: This setting is superseded by settings that prohibit access to properties of connections or connection components. When these policies are set to deny access to the connection properties dialog box or Properties button for connection components, users cannot gain access to the Advanced button for TCP/IP configuration.
+
+Note: Nonadministrators (excluding Network Configuration Operators) do not have permission to access TCP/IP advanced configuration for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting.
+
+Tip: To open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box, in the Network Connections folder, right-click a connection icon, and click Properties. For remote access connections, click the Networking tab. In the "Components checked are used by this connection" box, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click the Properties button, and then click the Advanced button.
+
+Note: Changing this setting from Enabled to Not Configured does not enable the Advanced button until the user logs off.

+
+To create an all-user remote access connection, on the Connection Availability page in the New Connection Wizard, click the "For all users" option.
+
+If you enable this setting, all users can delete shared remote access connections. In addition, if your file system is NTFS, users need to have Write access to Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk to delete a shared remote access connection.
+
+If you disable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), users (including administrators) cannot delete all-user remote access connections. (By default, users can still delete their private connections, but you can change the default by using the "Prohibit deletion of remote access connections" setting.)
+
+Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
+
+If you do not configure this setting, only Administrators and Network Configuration Operators can delete all user remote access connections.
+
+Important: When enabled, the "Prohibit deletion of remote access connections" setting takes precedence over this setting. Users (including administrators) cannot delete any remote access connections, and this setting is ignored.
+
+Note: LAN connections are created and deleted automatically by the system when a LAN adapter is installed or removed. You cannot use the Network Connections folder to create or delete a LAN connection.
+

+Determines whether users can delete remote access connections.
+
+If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), users (including administrators) cannot delete any remote access connections. This setting also disables the Delete option on the context menu for a remote access connection and on the File menu in the Network Connections folder.
+
+Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, all users can delete their private remote access connections. Private connections are those that are available only to one user. (By default, only Administrators and Network Configuration Operators can delete connections available to all users, but you can change the default by using the "Ability to delete all user remote access connections" setting.)
+
+Important: When enabled, this setting takes precedence over the "Ability to delete all user remote access connections" setting. Users cannot delete any remote access connections, and the "Ability to delete all user remote access connections" setting is ignored.
+
+Note: LAN connections are created and deleted automatically when a LAN adapter is installed or removed. You cannot use the Network Connections folder to create or delete a LAN connection.
+
+Note: This setting does not prevent users from using other programs, such as Internet Explorer, to bypass this setting.

+Determines whether settings that existed in Windows 2000 Server family will apply to Administrators.
+
+The set of Network Connections group settings that existed in Windows 2000 Professional also exists in Windows XP Professional. In Windows 2000 Professional, all of these settings had the ability to prohibit the use of certain features from Administrators.
+
+By default, Network Connections group settings in Windows XP Professional do not have the ability to prohibit the use of features from Administrators.
+
+If you enable this setting, the Windows XP settings that existed in Windows 2000 Professional will have the ability to prohibit Administrators from using certain features. These settings are "Ability to rename LAN connections or remote access connections available to all users", "Prohibit access to properties of components of a LAN connection", "Prohibit access to properties of components of a remote access connection", "Ability to access TCP/IP advanced configuration", "Prohibit access to the Advanced Settings Item on the Advanced Menu", "Prohibit adding and removing components for a LAN or remote access connection", "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection", "Prohibit Enabling/Disabling components of a LAN connection", "Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection", "Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection", "Prohibit deletion of remote access connections", "Ability to delete all user remote access connections", "Prohibit connecting and disconnecting a remote access connection", "Ability to Enable/Disable a LAN connection", "Prohibit access to the New Connection Wizard", "Prohibit renaming private remote access connections", "Prohibit access to the Remote Access Preferences item on the Advanced menu", "Prohibit viewing of status for an active connection". When this setting is enabled, settings that exist in both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional behave the same for administrators.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, Windows XP settings that existed in Windows 2000 will not apply to administrators.
+
+Note: This setting is intended to be used in a situation in which the Group Policy object that these settings are being applied to contains both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional computers, and identical Network Connections policy behavior is required between all Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional computers.

+This policy setting allows you to manage whether notifications are shown to the user when a DHCP-configured connection is unable to retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server. This is often signified by the assignment of an automatic private IP address"(i.e. an IP address in the range 169.254.*.*). This indicates that a DHCP server could not be reached or the DHCP server was reached but unable to respond to the request with a valid IP address. By default, a notification is displayed providing the user with information on how the problem can be resolved.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, this condition will not be reported as an error to the user.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, a DHCP-configured connection that has not been assigned an IP address will be reported via a notification, providing the user with information as to how the problem can be resolved.

-The Internet Connection Firewall is a stateful packet filter for home and small office users to protect them from Internet network security threats.
-
-If you enable this setting, Internet Connection Firewall can't be enabled or configured by users (including administrators), and the Internet Connection Firewall service can't run on the computer. The option to enable the Internet Connection Firewall through the Advanced tab is removed. In addition, the Internet Connection Firewall isn't enabled for remote access connections created through the Make New Connection Wizard. The Network Setup Wizard is disabled.
-
-If you enable the "Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections" policy setting, the "Prohibit use of Internet Connection Firewall on your DNS domain network" policy setting has no effect on computers that are running Windows Firewall, which replaces Internet Connection Firewall when you install Windows XP Service Pack 2.
-
-If you disable this setting or don't configure it, the Internet Connection Firewall is disabled when a LAN Connection or VPN connection is created, but users can use the Advanced tab in the connection properties to enable it. The Internet Connection Firewall is enabled by default on the connection for which Internet Connection Sharing is enabled. In addition, remote access connections created through the Make New Connection Wizard have the Internet Connection Firewall enabled.

-This policy setting determines whether administrators can enable and configure the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) feature of an Internet connection and if the ICS service can run on the computer.
-
-ICS lets administrators configure their system as an Internet gateway for a small network and provides network services, such as name resolution and addressing through DHCP, to the local private network.
-
-If you enable this setting, ICS can't be enabled or configured by administrators, and the ICS service can't run on the computer. The Advanced tab in the Properties dialog box for a LAN or remote access connection is removed. The Internet Connection Sharing page is removed from the New Connection Wizard. The Network Setup Wizard is disabled.
-
-If you disable this setting or don't configure it and have two or more connections, administrators can enable ICS. The Advanced tab in the properties dialog box for a LAN or remote access connection is available. In addition, the user is presented with the option to enable Internet Connection Sharing in the Network Setup Wizard and Make New Connection Wizard.
-
-By default, ICS is disabled when you create a remote access connection, but administrators can use the Advanced tab to enable it. When administrators are running the New Connection Wizard or Network Setup Wizard, they can choose to enable ICS.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Internet Connection Sharing is only available when two or more network connections are present.
-
-When the "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection," "Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection," or "Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection" settings are set to deny access to the Connection Properties dialog box, the Advanced tab for the connection is blocked.
-
-Nonadministrators are already prohibited from configuring Internet Connection Sharing, regardless of this setting.
-
-Disabling this setting doesn't prevent Wireless Hosted Networking from using the ICS service for DHCP services. To prevent the ICS service from running, on the Network Permissions tab in the network's policy properties, select the "Don't use hosted networks" check box.

This policy setting determines whether offline files are encrypted.
Offline files are locally cached copies of files from a network share. Encrypting this cache reduces the likelihood that a user could access files from the Offline Files cache without proper permissions.
-If you enable this policy setting, all files in the Offline Files cache are encrypted. These files include existing files and files added later. The cached copy on the local computer is affected, but the associated network copy isn't. The user can't unencrypt Offline Files through the user interface.

-If you don't configure this policy 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's fully encrypted. The cache doesn't return to the unencrypted state.

+This policy setting controls whether files read from file shares over a slow network are transparently cached in the Offline Files cache for future reads. When a user tries to access a file that has been transparently cached, Windows reads from the cached copy after verifying its integrity. This improves end-user response times and decreases bandwidth consumption over WAN links.
-

-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've 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 isn't 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
-
-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 display or hide reminder balloons without establishing a setting, in Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the Offline Files tab. This setting corresponds to the "Enable reminders" check box.

-This policy setting controls whether files read from file shares over a slow network are transparently cached in the Offline Files cache for future reads. When a user tries to access a file that has been transparently cached, Windows reads from the cached copy after verifying its integrity. This read-action improves end-user response times and decreases bandwidth consumption over WAN links.
-
-The cached files are temporary and aren't available to the user when offline. The cached files aren't kept in sync with the version on the server, and the most current version from the server is always available for subsequent reads.
-
-This policy setting is triggered by the configured round trip network latency value. We recommend using this policy setting when the network connection to the server is slow. For example, you can configure a value of 60 ms as the round trip latency of the network above which files should be transparently cached in the Offline Files cache. If the round trip latency of the network is less than 60 ms, reads to remote files won't be cached.

-This policy setting determines how long updated reminder balloons are displayed.
-
-Reminder balloons appear when the user's connection to a network file is lost or reconnected, and they're updated periodically. By default, the first reminder for an event is displayed for 30 seconds. Then, updates appear every 60 minutes and are displayed for 15 seconds. You can use this setting to change the duration of the update reminder.
-
-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.

-This policy setting controls the network latency and throughput thresholds that will cause a client computer to transition files and folders that are already available offline to the slow-link mode so that the user's access to this data isn't degraded due to network slowness. When Offline Files is operating in the slow-link mode, all network file requests are satisfied from the Offline Files cache. This scenario is similar to a user working offline.

+This policy setting controls the network latency and throughput thresholds that will cause a client computers to transition files and folders that are already available offline to the slow-link mode so that the user's access to this data is not degraded due to network slowness. When Offline Files is operating in the slow-link mode, all network file requests are satisfied from the Offline Files cache. This is similar to a user working offline.
If you enable this policy setting, Offline Files uses the slow-link mode if the network throughput between the client and the server is below (slower than) the Throughput threshold parameter, or if the round-trip network latency is above (slower than) the Latency threshold parameter.
-You can configure the slow-link mode by specifying threshold values for Throughput (in bits per second) and/or Latency (in milliseconds) for specific UNC paths. We recommend that you always specify a value for Latency, since the round-trip network latency detection is faster. You can use wildcard characters (*) for specifying UNC paths. If you don't specify a Latency or Throughput value, computers running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 won't use the slow-link mode.

-If you don't configure this policy setting, computers running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 won't transition a shared folder to the slow-link mode. Computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 will use the default latency value of 80 milliseconds when transitioning a folder to the slow-link mode. Computers running Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 will use the default latency value of 35 milliseconds when transitioning a folder to the slow-link mode. To avoid extra charges on cell phone or broadband plans, it may be necessary to configure the latency threshold to be lower than the round-trip network latency.

In Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, once transitioned to slow-link mode, users will continue to operate in slow-link mode until the user clicks the Work Online button on the toolbar in Windows Explorer. Data will only be synchronized to the server if the user manually initiates synchronization by using Sync Center.
In Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, when operating in slow-link mode Offline Files synchronizes the user's files in the background at regular intervals, or as configured by the "Configure Background Sync" policy. While in slow-link mode, Windows periodically checks the connection to the folder and brings the folder back online if network speeds improve.
-In Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, set the Latency threshold to 1 m to keep users always working offline in slow-link mode.
+In Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, set the Latency threshold to 1ms to keep users always working offline in slow-link mode.

-This policy setting determines whether offline files are synchronized 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 don't configure this setting, files aren't synchronized when the computer is suspended.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> If the computer is suspended by closing the display on a portable computer, files aren't synchronized. If multiple users are logged on to the computer at the time the computer is suspended, a synchronization isn't performed.

+This policy setting lists network files and folders that are always available for offline use. This ensures that 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. In the Show Contents dialog box in the Value Name column, type the fully qualified UNC path to the file or folder. Leave the Value column field blank.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, the list of files or folders made always available offline (including those inherited from lower precedence GPOs) is deleted and no files or folders are made available for offline use by Group Policy (though users can still specify their own files and folders for offline use).
+
+If you do not configure this policy setting, no files or folders are made available for offline use by Group Policy.
+
+Note: This setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both policy settings are configured, the policy settings will be combined and all specified files will be available for offline use.

+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. In the Show Contents dialog box in the Value Name column box, type the server's computer name. Then, in the Value column 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.

+This policy setting allows you to manage a list of files and folders for which you want to block the "Make Available Offline" command.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, the "Make Available Offline" command is not available for the files and folders that you list. To specify these files and folders, click Show. In the Show Contents dialog box, in the Value Name column box, type the fully qualified UNC path to the file or folder. Leave the Value column field blank.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, the list of files and folders is deleted, including any lists inherited from lower precedence GPOs, and the "Make Available Offline" command is displayed for all files and folders.
+
+If you do not configure this policy setting, the "Make Available Offline" command is available for all files and folders.
+
+Notes:
+
+This policy setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both policy settings are configured, the policy settings are combined, and the "Make Available Offline" command is unavailable for all specified files and folders.
+
+The "Make Available Offline" command is called "Always available offline" on computers running Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista.
+
+This policy setting does not prevent files from being automatically cached if the network share is configured for "Automatic Caching." It only affects the display of the "Make Available Offline" command in File Explorer.
+
+If the "Remove 'Make Available Offline' command" policy setting is enabled, this setting has no effect.

+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
+
+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 display or hide reminder balloons without establishing a setting, in Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the Offline Files tab. This setting corresponds to the "Enable reminders" check box.

This policy setting configures the Program Compatibility Assistant (PCA) to diagnose failures with application and driver compatibility.
If you enable this policy setting, the PCA is configured to detect failures during application installation, failures during application runtime, and drivers blocked due to compatibility issues. When failures are detected, the PCA will provide options to run the application in a compatibility mode or get help online through a Microsoft website.
-If you disable this policy setting, the PCA doesn't detect compatibility issues for applications and drivers.
+If you disable this policy setting, the PCA does not detect compatibility issues for applications and drivers.
-If you don't configure this policy setting, the PCA is configured to detect failures during application installation, failures during application runtime, and drivers blocked due to compatibility issues.
+If you do not configure this policy setting, the PCA is configured to detect failures during application installation, failures during application runtime, and drivers blocked due to compatibility issues.
-> [!NOTE]
-> This policy setting has no effect if the "Turn off Program Compatibility Assistant" policy setting is enabled.
+Note: This policy setting has no effect if the "Turn off Program Compatibility Assistant" policy setting is enabled. The Diagnostic Policy Service (DPS) and Program Compatibility Assistant Service must be running for the PCA to run. These services can be configured by using the Services snap-in to the Microsoft Management Console.
