I know OneDrive for Business requires a pre-provisioning for new users so that the user can logon to his sync client on a PC. Now the Fasttrack team told us the provisioning is done after the assignment of an OD4B license and a pre-provisioning with Powershell is not longer required. The Technet post at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn800987.aspx describes nothing about a "auto pre-provisioning" for users with a OneDrive license. I also found no other posts with that auto pre-provisioning information.
For us it's unclear what is the correct information? Maybe someone can give me an advise?
Thanks Tobias

Same here, I believe pre-provisioning is still there and it makes sense to me from a performance point of view and also usage perspective

Thanks to both of you. Looks like it's still required.
I got a test account and assigned him a SharePoint Online Plan 2 license. After the login to the ODFB client the user gets a message his OneDrive is not prepared by the IT department.

From my experience with our tenant, the provisioning step isn't necessarily triggered by the user visiting their site. We see OneDrive sites created when the user launches the Office suite.
We tried tracking this down last year via Microsoft Premier Support, but we never got an answer.
