Spotted the /silentConfig switch has made it into the sync client production ring for version 17.3.6943.0625.
Does anyone have any info on it's usage yet? Or at least a nod if it's still a preview feature being worked on?
From initial poking around, I've been able to pre-load some basic registry and throw the /silentConfig switch together with /configure_business which then skips through the prompt for email details and goes straight to the folder selection screen; but would be useful to see someone else confirm the findings, and whether this is likely to stay.
Some example PS I'm testing with (n.b. using -Force will nuke any existing config - you've been warned; assumptions made re: mail address - feel free to use upn instead):
#requires -version 4
param([switch]$Force=$false,[string]$TenantID="00000000-1111-2222-3333-000000000000")
# Configure your tenant ID and default reg path here
$businessTenant=$TenantID
$businessRegPath="HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\Business1"
if (Test-Path "$($env:LocalAppData)\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe") {
Get-ChildItem "$($env:LocalAppData)\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe" | % {
if ($_.VersionInfo.ProductVersion -ge [version]"17.3.6943.0") {
"Configuring OneDrive $($_.VersionInfo.ProductVersion)"
# Grab email address from current user's DS object (or manually set)
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement | Out-Null
$businessEmail=[System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal]::Current.EmailAddress
# Determine if OneDrive has already been set up and kill unless -Force switch is being used
if ($(Test-Path $businessRegPath)) {
if ($Force) {
Remove-Item -Path $businessRegPath -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
} else {
"OneDrive.exe registry configuration already exists, use -Force switch to overwrite"
break
}
}
if ($(Test-Path "$($env:LocalAppData)\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\business1\global.ini")) {
Get-Content "$($env:LocalAppData)\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\business1\global.ini" | ? {$_ -match "cid|c.i.d"} | % {
if ($($_ -replace "\0") -match "cid\s=\s$") {
$NotConfigured = $true
}
}
if ($Force -or $NotConfigured) {
Remove-Item -Path "$($env:LocalAppData)\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\business1" -Force -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
} else {

}
