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!
