The CustomGoOfflineActions subkey contains entries that determine whether users can work offline if they are suddenly disconnected from particular offline file servers. This feature lets you specify exceptions to the general offline action rules for servers that require a specialized response, such as those that host databases.
The CustomGoOfflineActions subkey and its entries stores the setting of the Non-default server disconnect actions Group Policy. Group Policy adds this subkey and entries to the registry when you configure the Non-default server disconnect actions policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the subkey and its entries from the registry.
Each of the entries in this subkey represents a particular server, and specifies whether users can use the server's files offline when disconnected from the server.
These entries override the default offline action rules, the Exception list on the Offline Files tab, and the general offline action policy specified by the Action on server disconnect policy (stored in GoOfflineAction).
When this subkey contains valid entries, the system disables the Exception list section on the Offline Files tab to prevent administrators from specifying customized server responses while a policy is in effect. If an administrator has already created an exception list, their list is ignored while the policy is in effect.
Each of the entries in this subkey has the following format:
| Computer-name | REG_SZ | 0 or 1 |
The value of the entry indicates the custom response.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Users can work offline if they are disconnected from this server. |
| 1 | Users cannot work offline if they are disconnected from this server. |
| Reskit | REG_SZ | 1 |
indicates that users are not permitted to work offline when they are disconnected from the Reskit server.
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Non-default server disconnect actions policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files). 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.
To configure this setting without setting a policy, use Windows Explorer. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, click the Offline Files tab, and then click Advanced. This policy corresponds to the settings in the Exception list section.
Note
This entry takes precedence over a user setting. When this entry appears in the registry, the system disables the Exception list section of the Offline Files tab and ignores the value of entries in the CustomGoOfflineActions subkey in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache, which stores its data. If the Exception list does not operate as expected, check to see if this entry is in the registry.
This entry can appear in both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If this entry appears in both subtrees, the value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE takes precedence over the value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Tip
To specify customized offline action rules without establishing a policy, in Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options, click the Offline Files tab, and then click Advanced. This policy corresponds to the settings in the Exception list section.
