    Hello

    I got following from TechCommunity Blog https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/OneDrive-Blog/OneDrive-Announcements-at-Ignite-2017/ba-p/108533 

     

    Silent Sync Auto-Account Configuration for OneDrive with ADAL- Microsoft Azure Active Directory Authentication Library will now support silent sync and account config for OneDrive. This will automatically configure OneDrive during a new device provisioning and ensure a new users OneDrive is automatically set up without any interaction required from the end user

     

    It seems to interesting feature for new windows feature. However they have not mentioned about the roll out plan.  If any one has any idea, please share your thoughts.

      Hi Avian,

      We just demoed this feature at Ignite today! We don't have a timeframe to announce just yet but you can find out more at aka.ms/OneDriveSyncGPOs. The feature is in preview right now as well! Hope that helps!

        Does this feature require Win10 v1709, or will it work on older windows versions if the latest onedrive client is installed?

        Also, the documentation specifies that ADAL must be enabled first, and suggests downloading and installing a .reg file to do this. Wouldn't it make more sense to add a GPO setting to enable ADAL?
