Silently configure OneDrive using Windows 10 or domain credentials
I was also having this problem and it sounds like my environment is similar to yours (ADFS and MFA) In addition to setting the GPOs you have set and setting the reg value "ClientEverSignedIn" to 0, I also had to set "SilentBusinessConfigCompleted" to 0.
Once that was done, it began to work when OneDrive is launched.
It's a requirement that all my users be logged into OneDrive whether they want to or not, so I've created another GPO to check if the user is configured and reset the above reg keys to 0 if they are not.
OneDrive creates a new key in the format of Business<digit> under "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts" for any business accounts that have been logged into OneDrive. Under that key, you can use "ConfiguredTenantID" to check that they're configured for your tenant and "UserFolder" to see where it is configured to sync to.
Also, if OneDrive does not start in the foreground, it will not configure using ADAL. The OneDrive startup reg key has the "/backgroud" parameter set, so my GPO checks to see if the user is configured and if they are not, it adds a RunOnce entry without the "/background" parameter.
It would seem HTM files are not allowed to be attached, so I've attached a screenshot of my GPO report.

- We have been kicking the around for a couple weeks. We still have a lot of folks on Office 2013 and the old Groove client. We are looking to migrate them to 2016 and seamlessly move them over to OneDrive. We were seeing very inconsistent test results. After adding the ADAL and SilentAccountConfig keys some machines were switching over to OneDrive without prompting for login and others were prompting. Although we are using the current version from the Office portal it seems the version of OneDrive which initially comes down is a bit older. 17.3.6743.1212. I suppose if we were patient it would eventually update to a newer version but that isn't an option.
We are now getting consistent results if we run %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDriveStandaloneUpdater.exe, wait for it to finish, then launch OneDrive and it logs in with Modern Auth (No prompting)
Hope this helps. This thread was extremely helpful!I have almost all working on latest client 18.151.0729.0012 apart from the actual "Silently redirect Windows known folders to OneDrive"
I have it enabled with tenant ID & show notification YES, but instead this happening on the client I have "... a reminder notification will appear in the activity center until they move all known folders."
If I click Protect these folders it work fine, but I do NOT want my users to have any input!

I see it now, it is VERSION number that needs to change!

Use this policy with the sync client build 18.171.0823.0001 or later to move your users' known folders to OneDrive without user interaction. (You can choose to display a notification to users after their folders have been redirected.)

That is NOT true at all, as I have it working even on current version fine following my own setup:
Hi,
Did you have any problems installing the One Drive client on your windows 10 PC's? Mine looks to install and then just closes without the OneDrive client being available.
