Re: Disable Windows Home Sync


Mac OS X servers do not manage Windows clients -- I am not even sure if there is a way to extend the schema to allow such things.

The recommendation from Apple is to build a 'golden triangle' which includes an AD server for managing Windows clients.

I am assuming that you are working with off-line files.
You have two options:
1)  You can build an AD domain to manage the Windows clients.
2)  You can use a logon script to modify the local machine group policy via a registry script.

Disable Windows Home Sync





I've been looking into this for a while now, and haven't found  
anything on how to stop or disable (on the server side) the logon/off  
file syncing from windows clients bound to the SMB PDC on 10.5 Mac  
Server? I realize on a windows server this would be group policy  
object, but where do you find this on the Mac Server? This feature is  
causing a problem with some clients that save files to their desktop  
(or other locations within their user profile folder), after logging  
back in that previously saved file will have bad permissions and will  
hang the sync, causing the Windows user profile to disable itself,  
then launches a temporary user profile.

Any ideas?
