is OneDrive for Business pre-creation required for rollout?
We plan to deploy group policies to automatically configure users OneDrive for Business sync clients. (AD sign-in and known-folder-move).
Do we need to pre-create OneDrives in this scenario?
Or can the sync client be setup even if the OneDrive has never been used by the user?
Thanks,
Beat
Hi Beat,
You shouldn't need to pre-create OneDrives in this case - just make sure that users are licensed for OneDrive in Office 365.
If they are not, the OneDrive for Business app won't sign in automatically.
Cheers.

I'm almost 100% certain you do have to pre-provision ODFB.
How one does pre-provision? And how automatic sign in via group policy is different from a first time sign in via client's menu?
You can preprovision them using the method here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/pre-provision-accounts
