Enabling Offline Files on Laptops Only
I am implementing redirected folders but to not want to enable offline files on desktops. Just on laptops/tablets.
I went in to ADUC and tries to make a sub OU to Computers thinking I would make the Sub OU laptops, move the laptops to that sub OU and then link a GPO to enable offline files.
I cannot make a sub OU to computer. It won't let me. That leads me to believe I might be taking the wrong approach. About the only thing I could to is make a new OU off the root something to the effect "Laptops" and move my laptops/tables to that OU then link the GPO.
Is that the standard way enabling offline files on laptops only?

Note - a Workstations OU in a small network is fine. Otherwise, in larger networks you may want to break things down by department or geography. In one company I work with, things are by geography
Ok, you didn't mention which OS you had( I assumed 2003,2008,2011).

That was an easy decision. I could not link a GPO to the Computers OU. It was not an option. I had to create a separate OU , link the GPO to it and move the Laptop/Tablet computers to it.

DO I need to link this GPO to Computers first or something?
