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.
