If you changed the part of the GPO that applies at logoff, it "should" apply at the next GPO refresh interval. If it does while they are logged on, when they log off the new ly changed GPO settings "should" apply.
While testing a GPO that modified the registry, I forced a refresh on the workstation and the registry change was made. Wouldn't commit to anything without testing though.

We also redirect "Desktop" and "My Documents". The location is supposed to be the same for the Offline Folders, as it is for the "My Documents". Note "supposed to be". :-) So The GPO is redirecting "My Documents" to NEWSERVER, but the Offline Folders setting is still OLDSERVER. What happens if I go and changed OLDSERVER to NEWSERVER? When the people currently on log off, and they go to synchronize, will it go to OLDSERVER (which is the setting it had when they logged in this morning)? Or will it go to NEWSERVER (since the machine will check in with AD every .. 15 minutes? 2 hours? Whatever the setting is ...) I guess what I am asking is, will the new setting take effect when the user logs off? Or will it take effect the *next* time they log in and out, the way a lot of GPOs do? (GPOs cache the settings at first login, then take effect at next login, right?)
