SharePoint Online Team Sites - AutoMount

Howdy!

I've been working with Microsoft and finally got this figured out today, and working consistently. Please see below for instructions to get this working:

Pre-Requisites:

Tenant ID (A):

• First, get your tenant ID using the steps in the following document:
• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/find-your-office-365-tenant-id
• Copy this address somewhere like notepad, it will be in a format of XXXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX......
• Next we need to replace the dashes with their HTML format: %2D
  • For example: 11111-11111-11111..... should become:
  • 11111%2D11111%2D11111.....
• Make note of this newly formatted ID

Library ID:

• Navigate to the library you are trying to sync
• Press "Sync"
• Press "Copy library ID"
• Press "Allow Access" if it pops up
• Paste the ID somewhere like notepad.

Formatting the URL (B):

• In the library ID look for the following line and paste it in another location in notepad:
• webUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourdomain%2Esharepoint%2Ecom%2Fsites%2Fsitename
• We now need to un-format this from HTML and put it as a regular URL. So, the line above would become:
• webUrl=https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename
• Make note of the newly formatted URL.

Putting it all together:

Now we need to take all of the information we gathered and create the final library ID.

• Find your un-edited Library ID.
• Make the following changes to the URL:
  • tenantId=<Your updated tenantId> - (A) listed above.
  • webUrl=<Your updated URL> - (B) listed above.
• Your final result should look like below:
• tenantId=XXXXXXXX%2DXXXX%2DXXXXX.....&siteId=.....&webId=.....&listId=.....&folderId=.....&webUrl=https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename&version=1

Creating the GPO:

Now follow the steps in the the "Use Group Policy to control OneDrive sync client settings" document to create your group policy (Mine is based on User):

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/use-group-policy

• Deploy the GPO to your test machine(s)
• Ensure that the registry gets successfully updated

Waiting:

This will not work right away, no matter how much rebooting, closing/opening OneDrive, refreshing group policy you do. After some time passes, something will trigger the sync and the folder (should) will magically appear for you. For me; it took 2 hours from when the GPO was applied, to when it decided to sync itself.

My config:

OS:              Windows 10, 1903

OneDrive:   19.123.0624.0005

Hope that helps!

Same issue here. Been testing with hybrid devices and GPO and in the past few days I'm trying my luck with a Azure AD joined device/user. I notice the policies reach my register and I see the settings in my OneDrive. InTune successfully pushes Files-On-Demand, SilentAutoConfig, Silently move known folders, insiders sync-ring, etc... Everything works except the AutoMount feature. Running Win10-1903.

Does anyone have this successfully running yet? We've been waiting for this since last year, and now that it is GA, we find we still can't get it to work. My test setup is as follows:

1. Windows 10 Education x64 (1903)
2. OneDrive Insider Preview client v19.123.0624.0002
3. Files on Demand is enabled, and the client is configured and working
4. SPO Document Library value copied via SPO Administrator and the "Copy Library ID" link
5. Latest ADMX/ADML in place (from v19.123.0624.0002)
6. GPO (User Configuration) in place for my account
7. Confirmed GPO applied, restarted a few times, OneDrive client seems happy, still no File Explorer option for my site... and it's been three days now, which periods exceeding 8 hours between my tests.

I just can't get this to initialise, and we desperately need it for our SPO migration project. Additionally, there appears to be very little information about this, and I can't find any references to logs, scheduled tasks, registry keys, or other ways to see what is going on in the background.

Any ideas?

Chandrasekaran Nageswaran My question is around the item in the roadmap. 

It refers to the feature as an "Admin Tool". Is it an actual physical feature in one of the M365 Admin centers? Or is this just the feature that will be available via Intune/GPO?

Chandrasekaran Nageswaran 

Well it still says April, but we are in May right now.

Maybe they are waiting on the release of the new Windows 1903?

As the requirement will be the OneDrive version that come with it.

So i hope there will be some new info soon.

I have been waiting for this to be rolled out since October 2018, they keep pushing the ETA back a month each an every month since.

This was added to the roadmap in May 2018, so its almost a year !!

This is holding up our adoption of Teams as well... 

MS really dropping the ball on this critical feature..
