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

    Hi Adam!

    You can test this today. The latest version of OneDrive has the ADM updates and any current clients will update to the latest version (unless you're on a deferred enterprise update).

    Thanks,
    Ronak

      Thanks for the information.

      I am testing as we speak; the link downloads the onedrivesetup file, how can I access the updated GPO files?

       

      Regards.

      John

        The ADM files will be located in your %localappdata%/Microsoft/OneDrive/<build version>/adm directory. You can navigate to %localappdata%/Microsoft/OneDrive which will have the build version folders that contain corresponding ADM packages.

        Thanks,
        Ronak
