Hi Paul,

 

With the latest versions of OneDrive (0815 and beyond), we'll no longer require direct modifications to the file to enable tenant default directory settings. Admins will be able to add these settings directly in Group Policy Editor. Furthermore, ADM packages will ship with the OneDrive client installation (%localappdata%/Microsoft/OneDrive/<build version>/adm) to ensure client version to ADM package mapping. 

 

Let me know if you're able to try out the new ADM package and if it works for your scenarios. Currently, 0830 version has shipped to production customers which has these changes. We're working on updating our public documentation this week. 

Thanks,

Ronak

That sounds like good news!

I have a question regarding the client download available on this page: https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/New-OneDrive-sync-client-release-notes-845dcf18-f921-435e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0

 

I was wondering why the download link takes you to the client version 17.3.6943.0625, when according to the table on the same page it doesn't coincide with the Windows Insider, Production or Enteprise rings? It's somewhere between Production and Enterprise as far as I can tell (sorry, I'm off on a tangent here). The reason I ask is that I'd like to download it and force the deployed Office ProPlus machines to the latest version using a local file, instead of them automatically updating from the Internet as soon as an account is configured in OneDrive.

    We rely on our auto-updater to ensure users get the latest release. Given you have a need for the standalone installer with the latest version, I've sent you a direct download link as a direct message.

    Thanks,

      Thanks a lot Ronak. Is this version supported for production use?

      Cheers,

      John

        Yes. That is the production version that clients will currently auto-update to once a user has configured OneDrive. 

         

        Thanks!
