I have an windows 2000 server network.
When the windows xp client logoff, the syncronice starts.

How to disable ? In active directory.

We are using Folder Redirection, is it possible to turn syncronice off then ?

Open Windows Explorer
Click on Tools at the top
Go down to Options
Select the Offline Files tab
Remove teh check from Enable Offline Files to turn that off or remove the check beside Syncronise all offline files before logging off to just not have it perform the sync when logging off.

*Note that this is performed on the workstation not the server.

Can We Turn Off This In Active Directory, Group Policyes and this solves the problems too ?

Or if we say it in another way.

Is it only the "offline" files that syncronices ?

u can turn it off in the Active Directory, i'll have alook on my network as we disabled it here also

Its within group policies, so make a new one, and find it. Not sure where exactly it's in there.

Cheers,

This 'issue' is two fold:

1. You can disable Caching on the share. I don't recommend this for home folders because you want to leave Offline Files enabled for laptops, but disable this option on any other shares.
2. You can utilise Group Policy to disable Offline Files on desktops:

- Create an OU structure like this and place computer accounts in the appropriate container:

--Workstations
----------------Desktops
----------------Laptops

On the Desktops OU create a new Group Policy object and enable the following option:

-Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Network / Offline Files / Allow or Disallow use of the Offline Files feature : Disabled

This will disable Offline Files on Desktops and leave Offline Files enabled on Laptops which will allow those users access to their home folders when away from the network.

Yeah, I have done all this, but in win2k3server I want an function to disable syncronice at all. Thanks 4 replyes to my post.

Because, now the syncronice goes quick, but its still there.
I want it to go away !
