When the client is in cache mode they are using the OST file, this would
apply to both desktop machines and laptops, if you delete the OST file
on a laptop before they have had chance to sync with the server then any
changes they had made will be deleted.
Cache mode does not need to be disabled if the user is working offline.

What's the difference in the OST file and sychronization when a person
is using cached mode vs actually working offline on a laptop?
Cached mode is set by default and the OST is created automatically. We
are getting a lot of calls about sychronization error messages and have
been deleting the OST file to resolve the issue. So far the calls have
been for desktop machines, but if we delete the OST on a laptop and the
user has been actually working offline while traveling, we will wipe out
all their hard work, right? The same will happen if we rebuild the OST,
right? Does cached mode need to be turned off on a laptop if the user
works offline?
Thoughts, suggestions, ideas, etc. etc. ???
Thanks!
