    Hey, thanks,  found this article before, but continued to search as I don't know if this applied to RDS where the user has UPD's?

     

    Just looking for some clear statement.

        Nigel Archer - Hey,

         

        No I did not get any info out of MS or through countless hours of searching - however, I did test this on the  RDS and there is no Files-On-Demand option so it starts to fill up users UPD's and not the most ideal scenario. 

         

        The only alternatives at the moment that I am able to find are: 

         

        1 - https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/OneDriveMapper-automaticall-d7d498b0 

        Mapping using this script which seems to keep it persistent each time the user logs into their session. Seems to be a popular choice.

         

        2 - Zee Drive http://www.thinkscape.com/Map-Network-Drives-To-Office-365-OneDrive/ -  Another popular choice, but paid for - However, Myles Jeffery who own it is really solid dude and helpful. 

        Hope this helps 

         

        Adam
