We recently decommissioned a server, but a number of XP machines are still trying to synch files with it using the Offline Files feature.
I found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/230738 But on the SP3 machines we've checked, there is no "Offline Files" tab under Folder Options. Besides, we have too many machines doing this for us to manually go around to each one. Anyone know of a way to clear this up en masse (group policy, login script, etc.)? This appears to be unique to XP; offline files don't behave the same way with Vista. With XP, every time any user logs in or out, the machine tries to synch offline files for any user who has ever logged into that machine (even if the current user has no offline files). And if it hits an error-which it always will, because it's trying to synch with a server that no longer exists-the machine will hang on shutdown until the user clicks a button.
