    The Next Generation Sync Client comes with his own Update mechnism, has nothing to do with Windows Update or WSUS. Each day once the client is looking, if Microsoft has released and appoved for this channel (yes, there are more) a new version.  So it could be, that one Tenant A has another version then Tenant B.


    Why:
    If Microsoft has done several new things on Office 365 Servers, it could be that they need also a new NGSC version to sync data between the cloud and the devices. Then Microsoft will publish...

    We have today the NGSC version 17.3.6798.0207 (and wherever you download it for Windows 7, this is the latest Released version.

     

    But If You are an Windows 10 Insider and have the Creators Update installed, your NGSC Version is 17.3.6816.0313. You may look here

     

    The NGSC is installed on each new Windows 10 device (with an old version). and you do not have to update it by yourself.  It will be updatet automatically, even if you are not connected to OneDrive Personal NOR OneDrive for Business NOR Groups, Team Sites, or Teams.

     

    You may install it manually to:
    Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, MAC OSX, Windows Server 2008 SP2, Windows Server 2008  R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2,  Windows Server 2016

    So if you manually download an install it, (although via GPO), it's a good idea to reboot your device.
