FSLogix and OneDrive Sync App
Hi Derek,
I have had very bad experiences with using OneDrive in combination with FSLogix.
If possible, I would recommend:
- using FSLogix in combination with a Windows File Server or Azure Files
- not using other roaming solution (e.g. folder redirection) in combination with FSLogix
- only changing these settings in the FSLogix GPO: DeleteLocalProfileWhenVHDShouldApply, SizeInMBs, VolumeType and FlipFlopProfileDirectoryName
- excluding administrative profiles from using FSLogix so you can troubleshoot, even when the local FSLogix service has issues
- using FSLogix 2201 hotfix 2 (2.9.8228.50276) and not the latest builds
All my deployments use the above (best) practices.
- I have also issues in my environment, when the Onedrive sync starts always syncing by new when login to the Desktop all the files, even if it was synced already. I had a case with Microsoft and they mention to include all the Onedrive cache in the FSLogix Profile container to get rid of this. But for sure i can say they do not really know how there products work or should be set up.
MathieuVandenHautte Thank you for the feedback, thus far in small scale testing OneDrive has been working. I certainly appreciate calling out excluding administrative profiles and will be implementing that (I don't know why I didn't think about doing that after the annoyances of logging onto multiple machines with a locked profile).
We are using Azure Files, with no other profile solutions.
The only policy we don't have set that you referenced is FlipFlopProfileDirectoryName.
I'm hoping MS can jump in here and answer my question as it doesn't seem to make sense to me (as I noted).
Thanks MathieuVandenHautte for your reply.
Did you ever resolve this? One year later from this post and that MS article is still the same and there is no article for fslogix. We're hybrid joined non-persistent and OD will not log in seamlessly.
- No I have not received any clarification to my initial post on why one part of their documentation says to exclude a registry and the other says they don't support excluding registry keys.
We are using FSLogix and OneDrive and so far so good, but I didn't do any special configuration (that I recall).
