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..

        emartian as per ColachoMendoza  suggested, I would try to see if GP Result does bring anything.

         

        Unfortunately I have to wish you good luck with support as they literally reading from the scope and PDFs to get your respond.

         

        Regarding GPO choose one PC only to start with.
        1. Remove current GPO you have created for OneDrive libraries sync.

        2. Create separate new policy.

        3. Ensure that in SECURITY FILTERING (SCOPE TAB) of this policy you only have user or PC you are testing this for or both for testing purposes.
        4. Ensure that on Delegation Tab you have "Authenticated users" in READ only mode

        5. Edit policy in Computer and User to add your Libraries where Value Name is any name you want this setting doesn't matter as it wont be applied anywhere it just so you know which library it is, VALUE field is for your sync key from Share Point.

        6.Close GPO go to PC you want to sync. run gpupdate /force

        7. Wait 24 hrs

        8. You should be good (Subject to correctly copied key from SharePoint).

         

        Let me know if you have any questions.
