We installed stand alone versions of BDS 2014 on these laptops.
We use offline files for our standards drive.
We use login scripts to set an 'office' registry setting.
Autocad uses that setting to know what office it is in. It then changes the PC3 file location to local printers because looking for a Chicago PC3 file from Shanghai really slows down autocad.
Here's some issues:
Sometimes the sync of offline files doesn't work and users may not realize that the standards have updated.
Logging into the network too quickly after powering on the laptop may not allow the login scripts to run therefore making the laptop not recognize the right office. PC3 issues happen and slows autocad.
People with laptops would like to always have office appropriate windows printers.
Latency between offices gets too high to allow for windows DFS.
How do you guys handle multiple offices and laptops? Are there other issues I'm missing (very possible)?
