Scenario:
W2k3 domain
Vista Business SP2 workstation
Goal:
Disable offline folders
Strategy:
Create AD OU: Domain > Local machines > vista workstations
Place workstation into OU
Create and link "disable offline folders" GPO to the previously
mentioned OU
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates >
Network > Offline Files > Allow or disallow use of the Offline Files
Feature = disabled
Wait several hours, reboot, wait again, run gpudate /force on the
client, wait, reboot, wait
Result:
Offline files are still available and syncable
Any idea where I dropped the ball on this?
Running the Group Policy Results Wizard on the workstation shows the
policy applied on the Computer Configuration but denied on the User
Configuration with the reason "empty".
Running the Group Policy Modeling Wizard with the same OUs shows nothing
would be denied.
Googling, Binging, and banging my head comes up with the usual culprit
being trying to apply a user setting to an OU with only computers in it.
But in this case I'm dealing with a computer setting in a group that
only contains computers.
Any help is appreciated.
