Windows 10 Sync Center and mapped network drives

$

I have seen a few posts for this already, but none seem to cover my problem and none of the solutions - save disabling all Offline Files has resolved.

My current setup is as follows:

Server environment:

Windows 2016 Domain

Group policy configured for 3 mapped drives to separate NAS device

Group policy configured for roaming profiles to server folder

Group policy configured for folder redirection for local folders (documents and pictures folders) to server folder

NOTE: We are a small organization, so group policy applies to all users.

User Environment:

Windows 10 Build 1903 - fully patched

All computers are laptops of identical make/model

My problem:

My problem seems to be somewhat random in nature.  Our employees work both onsite and remotely.  From either local or remote locations, when trying to access a mapped network drive, there will either be no files shown or only a few files/folders shown.  This problem can also come and go, meaning sometimes, when you access these mapped folders, they work just fine and other times they do not.

Things I have done so far:

1. From within the Sync Center, I have deleted folders/files listed in the Mapped Network Drive section of this tool

2. I have issued the following registry command to rebuild the database Sync Center (reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc\Parameters /v FormatDatabase /t REG_DWORD /d 1)

I have had some success with both of the options above on some PCs, but this is still a problem on others and will re-appear on PCs which have had the changes applied.  Additionally, there are users who have not exhibited any problems whatsoever with mapped drives.

I apologize for the vague nature of this request, however, I wanted to see if there were some other suggestions I have not tried.
