Hi gvkempen, so how did you actually manage to reconcile the duplicated files?
I'm curious to know to use either KFM https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/redirect-known-folders#transition-from-the-windows-folder-redirection-group-policy-objects or SPMT https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/fileshare-to-odsp-migration-guide.

Hello SystemEngineer. Even after opening a call with Microsoft I was not able to get it fixed. It's a bug they told me that will be fixed some time (hopefully). KFM works fine as long as you migrate to a clean OneDrive. As soon as you prefill OneDrive using SPMT and then use KFM to redirect and copy the last changes from the users pc it creates copies. I finally used SPMT in combination with folder redirection to e.g. %OneDrive%\Documents as a workaround. That works, but requires me to run a delta migration once the GPO is applied. So a bit more work and planning.
