Previews for Silent Sync Account Configuration and Bandwidth Throttling for OneDrive
At Ignite, we announced two new features for IT Administrators. The first was Silent Sync Account Configuration for OneDrive which will allow you to silently configure OneDrive using Windows 10 or domain credentials for Windows 7 and Windows 8 on the first run. The second was the ability to let you set the maximum download throughput rate for computers running the OneDrive sync client. Both of these features are now in preview.
Onedrive silently configuration won't work multiple times
Hello everyone, I encountered an issue with the Silently Sign Users in with Windows Creds. It will work the first time logging into OneDrive on the machine, however, if I were to unlink the account or sign out, the GPO will not run again. I will log out and restart the computer, and the GPO will still not run again. I found that after this GPO runs, it creates a registry key called "SilentAccountConfig" at the location HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive. This registry key is set to 1 meaning that it has been completed. I have tried to set the key to 0 and tried deleting it to see if the GPO would run again. It unfortunately does not. Silently configure user accounts I have followed these steps: Verify SilentAccountConfig Unlink all pre-existing Business instances in OneDrive. Clear the registry of any previous successful Silent Business Config runs: reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive /v SilentBusinessConfigCompleted /f reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive /v ClientEverSignedIn /f reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive /v PersonalUnlinkedTimeStamp /f reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive /v OneAuthUnrecoverableTimestamp /f Set the Silent Config policy registry entry (must be run from an administrator CMD window): reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive /v SilentAccountConfig /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1 /f Sign out of Windows (Ctrl+Alt+Delete Sign out). Sign in to Windows. I have ensured that Verify Single Sign On (SSO) is configured. Remove any OneAuth failure timestamps reg query HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive /v OneAuthUnrecoverableTimestamp reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive /v OneAuthUnrecoverableTimestamp /f None of which seems to work for me. My question is: how do I allow silently sign into OneDrive GPO to apply every time a user signs into their account. If it does mean I have to run a script to remove/add registry keys to make it work, what would it look like? Any advice would be helpful
