Syntax for Onedrive.admx edits - DefaultRootDir
In the Onedrive deployment guidance we're instructed to edit the Onedrive GPO template (Onedrive.admx) to insert specific values. For example, replacing {INSERT YOUR TENANT'S GUID HERE} with our ...

"Make sure you installed the OneDrive for Business Group Policy objects 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.

- The documentation has been updated.
The documentation has not been updated yet...I am in the process of building out a process for migrating user home shares to OneDrive for Business and only found this thread while trying to figure out how to modify the .admx files in the support article here:

Specifically the .admx changes are referenced in sections:
Prevent users from changing the location of their OneDrive folder
and
Set the default location for the OneDrive folder
It's still quite odd to be editing the ADMX file directly.
Paul Cunningham - Unless I'm missing something, no one should be editing the .admx file directly at this point. There are a couple of leftover notes in the documentation which still refer to this, but Ronak Shah is in the process of having those removed.
That will be good when the documentation is all updated then.
