Hello friends,

is it possible to exclude one machine from syncing its profile with the server?

The situation is as follows:

Our CEO wants to use her semi-private laptop in our network, which means she wants to be able to log in with her account (to be able to access files and all) but does not want her (private) profile to be synced.

How can this be achieved?
