I wish to disable folder redirection on all our servers so the user profiles don't grow.  2 of our admin users have large amounts of data in their user profiles and I don't want a local copy being saved on the servers.
now youv'e questioned me....maybe its not folder redirection but offline files need to be disabled on the servers?
:)


ok, are you using roaming profiles as well?
no folder redirection
what if you create a new OU in active directory move the users you need and do not llink a gpo/  create a new GPO with no folder redirection?
is it possible to just disable offline files on the computers in question? I cant see no need for them on servers
