Hello,

We run a Windows 2003 domain. Our laptop users homefolders are made
available off line through the use of Group Policy. The problem I have is
this:

User A leaves the company, before I give User A's laptop to a different
user, I need to get the laptop to STOP trying to synchronize usr A's
homefolder.

I have tried the following:
*Getting properties of User A in ADUAC and getting rid of their home
folder path.
*Deleting the User A's local profile on the laptop

None of the above works, it still tries to sync to their folder when logging
out of the laptop. If I am logged in as User A, and I right-click on their
home-folder, I cannot un-check Make Available Offline. What do I need to do?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

First uncheck anything set to use Offline Files. If folder redirection is
enabled for the user, remove them from the policy and restart. Delete the
windows\csc folder contents (not the folder). Then restart. If it will not
delete the first time, restart, then delete, then restart.

See if these will help as well:
