If you want to enable access to the Live Mesh Web experience but disallow Live Mesh clients (Live Remote and Live Folders), you can block HTTP and HTTPS traffic to the following Live Mesh Web sites:- Storage.mesh.com
- Accounts.mesh.com
- Ag.mesh.com

The only article that I am aware of with instructions on how to block the Live Mesh client will block both sync and remote, but will allow access to the web site.

I'm not aware of any way to disable remote desktop, yet allow sync to happen, but that may be as simple as blocking the Remote Desktop Ports. I believe that's 3389 and 3390.
