GGotay Are you applying the admin template to a user group or a device group? What happens if you have a common area machine where different user logins might run in conflict with the libraries you specified in the "Configure team site libraries" key?

AsTheCrowFlew it is targeting a user group. The Files on Demand policy still applies (although this should probably be applied with your OneDrive Admin Template for good hygiene).
I listed all of the libraries in one admin template policy. The registry changes in the Current User so if another user logs into that same machine it will still apply to the new user (given time restraints). The user will only be able to access the library content they have privilege to.
I will note though that if your users have list access to see the top level folder then there will be a lot of libraries showing even if the content isn't viewable due to access restriction. We are currently trying to tweak this now so that only the libraries you have access to show up in your File Explorer.

GGotay Have you been able to tweek it so users only see that to wich they have access to?

HichamD I was able to do so, but it's still very fragile and devices were prone to freezing during syncs. We changed our approach and decided to use TEAMS as the user interface. This works much smoother and doesn't weigh down on the hardware.

GGotay Your workaround approach is better that the suggestions from MS support engineers. Please, I will like to know how you used TEAMS to achieve this because we are still having the issue and I am dreading having to work with 60 users to do this manually. Thank you
