Prevent Redirected Documents from Caching local copy on specific machines.
I want to enable roaming profiles and redirected documents for all users in my Windows environment. All users are running XP SP2 and our servers are Server 2000/2003. All users must be able to have access to their redirected documents offline as many of them travel out of office with their laptops. However, we do not want the user's documents to load onto certain machines in the office, for example a computer in a conference room, this due to the fact that many users have My Document's folders gigabytes in size and it would take too long for their folders to load onto the conference room computer. Is there any way to prevent redirected documents from caching on a specific machine? I have been experimenting with this for 2 days now and have not been able to figure it out.

This doesn't really help me as the local computer policy will be overidden by the domain policy.

make sure you do it at the local computer level so it will be specific to that computer as these settings are applied to users not computers... this way when someone logs onto the computer with the local policy offline files will be turned off for that session but if they log onto a computer without the local security policy offline files will be turned on...
