Announcement: New OneDrive Admin Center Preview
- Hi Cary - here is TechNet article on how to enumerate domain guids.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn938435.aspx
Why is this on the onedrive.com domain? Our company currently blocks onedrive.com as it is a personal cloud storage site. OD4B is currently hosted on sharepoint.com. Why would Microsoft have an admin tool that is not even in the same domain as the app it is administering?
For many companies (especially smaller ones) OneDrive is a standalone product that is not connected to SharePoint on any level. SharePoint is our product that leads collaboration while OneDrive is the connective tissue between these products including SharePoint, Teams, Yammer, Delve and more.
As we continue to grow OneDrive features and functionality, having OneDrive's ability to be a true standalone product as well as be part of our productivity suite will become even more critical.
Means, this admin center will be available for standalone plan? So may companies licenced ProPlus can control OD with this feature? BTW I'm the one who concern this belong to onedrive.com...
- OneDrive for Business is built on the SharePoint platform, so I don't understand your point. An admin center should not have a consumer URL unless its for consumer services. Most enterprises block consumer services because they are a security risk. Its another short sighted decision on Microsoft part again.
I understand your point Stephen Rose, but this will be an issue for Enterprise organizations. I presented on this very topic last night at a local user group and more than one participant mentioned that they are blocking consumer OneDrive URL.
- Understood. I will share your feedback with engineering.
