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.

      Thanks for the tips, but still no luck even after verifying Library permissions.

       

      I've gone ahead and opened a ticket with Support. Hopefully they can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

        emartianI doubt they have any info on this .. but most time it's in your GPOs I had some GPOs that were conflicting when I was trying to enable Silent Sign on and Silent KFM.

         

        you may have to try it in a test environment or do a GPO inventory to ensure there's not one preventing the other GPOs to work. 

         

        just thought I'd share that..
