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?

    Murray Webber Same Issue there.

     

    I am trying this out for last couple of days.

    I have successfully get this initialised in File Explorer but now as I have made few changes its gone.

     

    I hope not but I believe the GPO will have to be set to Computer Settings not User and would have to apply by Computer (host name). I will be able to confirm bit more over the weekend as I want to figure out what exactly is going on there.

     

    Lacking a documentation there or a good blog.

      pgawronskiAny luck in your testing? I just started heavily testing it this week but, same as most others, no success and no indication of what's happening behind the scenes.

        emartian still testing but have some hints for you.

         

        So for testings I have set 1 test user via Computer GPO and one user via User GPO. Both worked so doesn't matter, choose whichever suits your business.

         

        Next I have set 5 sites/libraties in those GPOs to sync and Only 1 synced. The reason for that is the permisions which I am really pleased Microsoft gone that way with it.

        This basically mean you can set as many sites in the GPO but the only ones which users have permisions to will sync.

        To add permisions go to WEB GUI to Sharepoint -> Libraries -> Site Settings -> People and Groups and add test profiles there for library to sync. This may take up to 24 hrs for that to sync and couple reboots of the PC to update GPO and refresh the OneDrive client. (I hope this will be updated soon so it wont take so long).

        Let me know if you need anything else.

        Pawel
