Enable Offline Files turns itself on

[YWCA]

Has anyone found any machines on their network after the recent updates from MS that the Enable Offline Files turns itself on. We locate the My Documents to a user define location on a network server. It sync it self back to the user define location. Any suggestions?

Im not sure what to do. This was not a problem until recently. Some of the machines I have set up myself and only to find that the enable offline files is turned back on. I know it is not the users as you can only turn it off and on as an administrator. It wants to sync the My documents to the designated user space, but the My documents are already there.

It might pay you to post in the Server Forums too.

"I finally figured it out. Since it is a Computer policy you must move the computers, you wish to be affected, from the “Computers” folder to your “organizational unit” folder. To test the result, be patient. Do a “gpupdate /force” on both the server and the clients. If the result is still negative, restart the server, go get a coffee, drink it, watch some cartoons and try again."
