I put in a policy on a Win domain to redirect My Documents to the users' home folder on the server … this automatically caches their home folder. The users are upset because synchronization messages about database files stop computer shut-down.
How can I turn off this automatic caching on redirection? I just want My Documents on the server where they're backed up and available from any computer.
