Syntax for Onedrive.admx edits - DefaultRootDir
Ronak Shah Can you please have the requirement for admx edits removed from the documentation, if it's no longer needed? This requirement is mentioned in both the Onedrive GPOS documentation and the Onedrive Known Folder redirection documentation.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your feedback. The major change we made was to no longer require direct modifications of the ADMX file. Instead, we rely on Group Policy Editor to allow specific configurations, such as Tenant -> Default directory mapping.
I've reviewed the documentation below and none of them call out modifying the ADMX file directly. They do mention making changes in Group Policy Editor which is the new paradigm. Am I understanding your feedback accurately?
Thanks,
Ronak
Ronak Shah In the first link I posted above, the first bullet point in the prerequisites reads:
"Make sure you installed the https://support.office.com/en-us/article/OneDrive-for-Business-Group-Policy-objects-0ecb2cf5-8882-42b3-a6e9-be6bda30899c on your domain, and updated the ADMX file with your tenant ID."
In the second link, under Prevent users from changing the location of their OneDrive folder:
"To use this policy, you must update the OneDrive.admx file in your Group Policy central store and add your tenant ID. "
Both of those lead me to think that I needed to edit the admx file directly, but at the same time have no instructions on what changes to make. That's how I came to find this thread.- Thanks Steve, sorry for the miss! I've submitted changes to the documentation. They'll be live once approved by our documentation team.
