I would check the particular computer that is not showing the offline
file
settings to see if Offline files are disabled.
Open windows Explorer
Select tools
Choose Folder Options
Select the Offline Files tab
Check to see if "Enable Offline Files" is checked or not.

Subject: [gptalk] What would cause certain settings not to show for some
users in A GPO
I have GPO setup with folder redirection and Offline Files. In the
offline
files section, on the file exclusion list, I just have *.dbf files
excluded.
When I run a GPO modeling wizard on some users, in the settings window,
the
offline files part of the GPO does not show, but the Folder Redirection
settings do show. (Note, all of these settings are in the same GPO)
I am wondering if it could be a replication issue. i.e, these people
were
just put on the new policy. I had them run gpupdate /force, to get the
folder redirection part to kick in, and the entire GPO is set to wait
for
network at startup for Group Policy
Thanks
