Here is my problem. We put in a new sbs server their old one was to small/old. In doing so all of the workstations were removed from their old domain and added to the new domain. 1 of their old group policy's from the old domain still seems to be there, i think i got to creative and tried to fix it by first making a group policy to do the same thing on the new domain and then disable it, It worked on some of the Pc's but not all of them. The whole thing is Offline files. I want to disable them for 5 Pc's and only keep them for 2 laptops, I just can't figure it out. I moved the users and their Pc's to a ou under the my small business server computer and users folders. ( I made new ou's under the main users and computers ou's and applied my new policy to those i want to keep and disabled it at the level above. made by policy enforced for those 2 users and computers. t this point i am ready to try anything. only have 7 users and 7 pc's so i can visit each one and do whatever i need to get this working. Also is there a way to customize what does get synced for the two i want, one of the users get some errors sometimes not always that it can't copy some files. The files that error out i don't care about anyway.

Actually, now that I reread your question I see how you thought that there was a policy left over from the old server.
There were probably files trying to sync to the old server. If that was the case, then all you need to do is reset the offline cache per http://sbsurl.com/csc

Okay... first let's have you understand the Folder Redirection is a USER policy, not a COMPUTER policy. So you should leave all the computers in the MyBusiness\Computers\SBSCo
Secondly, you can actually leave all the users in the MyBusiness\Users\SBSUsers OU as well.
All you need to do is run the Configure My Documents Redirection wizard to enable the Small Business Server Folder Redirection Group Policy.
Then, open the Group Policy Management Console. The policy should be linked at the DOMAIN level, which is fine. Expand the Group Policy Objects folder and click on the folder redirection policy. In the right pane, you'll see the SCOPE tab. On the lower half is the "Security Filtering" section. Remove "Authenticated Users" and add the two users that have laptops.
It will now only apply to those two users!
As for problems with synching some files? Certain types of files, such as .mdb or .pst are excluded from synching and will generate an error if they have these in their My Documents folder. The easiest way to avoid the error is to move them to a different folder on their laptop, or to their home folder on the server -- the parent folder of the redirected My Documents folder (\\<servername>\users\<userna
If you still have problems with some files synching, you should reset the offline cache by following the steps described here: http://sbsurl.com/csc
