Terminal Services and offline files

I have several Windows 2000 Advanced Server machines here. All of them have Terminal Services installed; that way, I can log into them without having to have a separate (or shared) keyboard and monitor for each box. On hurricane, my primary work machine, I’ve been wanting to enable the Windows offline files feature, which I use on my laptops. However, the tab that’s supposed to let you enable them never showed up. I chalked this up to a “feature” of Advanced Server, until last week, when hurricane suddenly began telling me that my file server was offline and that it was using locally cached files. That told me that the offline files feature (which Microsoft internally calles CSC, for client-side caching) was somehow turned on.
Much research ensued, with the result that I finally found the answer to why CSC wouldn’t work: it’s disabled on machines running Terminal Services. Since I installed TS when I installed the OS, I never got any UI warnings. However, after I removed TS, I could turn on CSC on hurricane. I let it synchronize and turned it off again. I now have to decide: do I want the convenience of Terminal Services, or the guaranteed data availability of CSC?
