I have set up folder redirection of the my documents folder. I set it up in group policy as basic, redirect everyone to a share on a file server. The default behavour of the xp client is to establish offline file synchronization. This works fine when the user is connected to the network. I want offline synch to be disabled when the laptop user is not connected to the network. When I boot up in the hotel, I don't want to be annoyed by a snynchronization that cannot run since there is no network connection.

Open the Help and Support from the Start menu on your system and search for Folder Redirection and Working Offline. There is a fair amount of information about these topics there and Related Topics areas may have the answer you are looking for.

I would suggest opening the GPEDIT.MSC console on the user's PC and navigate here: Computer Config\Admin Templates\System\Group Policy
Once there, find and enable "Group Policy Slow detection". Set the speed to something like 3000kbps and then see if your enforced redirection policy is ignored at login.
