Automatically provision OneDrive for Business site for end user when adding O365 license
Do you have more details on how this is accomplished?
Aubrey Marshall, I don't have any examples or scripts that are publicly available right now. Working on a way to provide solutions like this easier and also have it on my to-do list to write a blog post that would give a little more detail on how this process might work.
I have a presentation I did recently here - https://collab365.community/hood-6-automating-sharepoint-online-powershell-azure-automation-flow/. It doesn't give the step-by-step details, but does provide some additional details into how I did it.
- We've noticed that in the last few weeks, OneDrive for Business is automatically provisioned for a user when they are assigned a SharePoint Online license. (or at least that appears to be what is happening)
Rob Ellis is this a fact? one of my clients has 13k users. if so this would make it easier.
Yes this is how it works now and has for some time - My company controls OD access tightly for right now and SP access. So naturally if a users SP license is off - Then OD does not/is not provisioned (At least that is what I have seen and makes perfect sense)
However, once I turn on SP for approved people. Usually within a hr the users OD is provisioned.
- Ps, love the podcast Ben!
Oh, that would be really nice if it's provisioned as soon as the license is assigned now. I'll have to check that out, thanks for the tip Rob!
Also, glad to hear you enjoy the podcast...always fun to know people actually listen to Scott and I and our thoughts on Office 365 and Azure :)
Any specific topics you want us to cover or questions you want answered in an upcoming episode? :)
