Force Enable Sync Services

I know there is policies to disable sync, but I'm having troubles with users being auto-enabled for sync on their account.  It would be optimal from an IT perspective if we could choose what services...

Looking for this as well. We are halfway there with being able to control which sync types are allowed, now we just need to force the others. I need this to be 100% consistent for all end-users!

 

Me: Here's your reimaged computer. Just sign into Edge and everything will be back.

User: I did, it's all gone.

Me: Let me see. Looks like you turned some random stuff off in there. It's gone. Sorry.

Me: Thanks, Microsoft. I though you understood enterprise?

      liambramwell yep this is a good start in the right direction.  Works well with new users never having use edge on the PC before.  Unfortunately though it appears as though it doesn't retrospectively enable sync to users that already have an edge profile on the machine that had sync disabled.

       

      I'd appreciate if someone could prove me wrong because its quite annoying.

        Shaun1100  I agree.  Bad implementation from what i can tell so far.
