Syncing only on PCs joined to specific domains is not working

I've checked the box in the new OneDrive admin portal to allow syncing only on PCs joined to specific domains and I've entered the GUID of my domain but I'm still able to sync from my personal machin...

I haven't.  I was going to open a ticket with Microsoft this week.

I added the GUID for our domain, and the Sync screen shows a second GUID of all zeroes,  i.e, myguid, 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000. I just removed the 000's and then they came back. Are you seeing the same thing?

    No, I only see the GUID for my domain that I added.  I removed and re-added it but still only see that GUID, no GUID with zeros.

      FYI, it appears to now be working for me.  At least I can't recreate the issue anywhere to open a ticket. On the machines where it was not taking effect and I had set up syncing I now get a message box that says OneDrive can no longer sync my folder because my "IT Department requires that you use a computer that is joined to an approved domain to sync this folder."  This is the expected behavior.  On a laptop where I had not yet set up syncing it says "Sorry, OneDrive can't add your folder right now.  Please contact support".

        Thanks. I'm seeing the same thing as you on of my computers but the others are behaving differently. I just used powershell to Set-SPOTenantSyncClientRestriction and the 000s still show when I run Get-SPOTenantSyncClientRestriction, very weird. I'm going to open a support ticket with MS
