SBS2011 - Offline files (disable on a PC)

$

Hi

When I set up SBS2008 for a client all My Docs and Desktop were redirected to the server.

This then set up Offline Files, to allow PC's to synchronise the data so they could work offline.

However I set 2 desktops to have this disabled, as PC's anyone could log into in the office, but it wouldn;t store their data on them (i.e. emergency PC's) also the other reason being the typical people that would do that are data hogs and would easily synchonise 200GB of data to that PC, just because they wanted to quickly log on and check their email.

I followed instructions I found online how to disable this for all users (i.e. I had the PC disable Offline Files). (This was a registry edit, most likely a Local Machine edit)

I am just about to set up an SBS2011 network and again I have a couple of desktops Offline files needs to be disabled for, but for the life of me I can't find the article or remember how to do it. All machines on SBS2011 network will be Windows 7 (although I think it was the same for 7 and XP)

Any help would be a godsend.

Thanks

Tris
