At work, we have several hundred computers. In fact, we have almost 2,000 programs.
For those with laptops (about 800 or so) they often take them home, so synchronizing documents is a must, whereas the desktops have their my documents folder directly routed to their share on the server.
Up until now, we've been using SyncToy, but teachers don't like to open it and hit the run button. We've been trying to find a free alternative that automatically does the job.
I came across Syncback V3, the freeware edition. But there's 1 minor issue with this, despite it being completely awesome and exactly what I need. In order for this to work, the user's password must be put into Syncback for authentication purposes.
The problem? Every 3 months, passwords change for all users. That's a lot of passwords to change for your synchronization tool to work.
I'm looking for something that'll automatically transfer documents from point A to point B with no password issues, and... is also free.
Any ideas? Or am I stuck with passwords no matter what free program I find?
