I want to redirect My Document folder to a users'
personal directory. However here is my problem. I set
this in group policy for an OU made for this location.
The directory is automatically cached for offline use. So
far so good. However, when this person logs onto another
machine it then caches his personal folder on that
machine...when he exits it tries to sync and can't since
each user only has access to his own personal folders.
The way this is setup every user that logs into a machine
will get a cache of their files...

Is there a way, maybe using a script, to do this and
specify which workstation the cache should be stored on?
or should I simply turn caching off? If so, How do I turn
caching off when I redirect the folders?

Hope I explained clearly enough without to much
rambling...thanks

You can do either through GP:

1 - set a computer GP for the machines logged in on so that they disable
caching of off-line files and then through either rights or using a
separate OU remove the PC requiring the cache from the GP

2 - do the above for all machines to totally diasble caching of offline
files.
