Syncing only on PCs joined to specific domains is not working
I've checked the box in the new OneDrive admin portal to allow syncing only on PCs joined to specific domains and I've entered the GUID of my domain but I'm still able to sync from my personal machines. Is there any troubleshooting I can do or should I open a ticket?

Kevin_Hoyt I activated this setting and I'm getting inconsistent behavior. We have one account that can no longer sync when not on the network and others that can. Very weird.
Have you been able to run any more tests?
I haven't. I was going to open a ticket with Microsoft this week.
I added the GUID for our domain, and the Sync screen shows a second GUID of all zeroes, i.e, myguid, 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000. I just removed the 000's and then they came back. Are you seeing the same thing?
If you had an existing sync relationship before configuring the setting, it will keep on uploading files. Also, it doesnt affect Mac users. Details are here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn917455.aspx
Thanks but at what point does that existing relationship expire? I disconnected my account and successfully reconnected it. Will it never block it on that machine now?
- The way I read it, is that uploads will continue forever, but changes in the browser won't be pushed/synced back to the workstation.
- How long did you wait before testing again? It might take some time to activate and lock down.
Also are the machines that can sync ones that already were previously, or new?
