Hoping I can get some help here too. We are looking to set the default directory to %SystemDrive%\OneDrive, as well as configure auto-configuration / logon via ADAL. We havent modified the admx/adml files as the latest feedback seems to indicate it's no longer necessary, but the net result is that with all the gpo's configured the onedrive client will no longer launch, it doesnt error, it opens in the task tray temporarily then just closes. I've added the latest admx/adml files (dated 10/20) into the policydefinitions store.

obviously i've mucked up something somewhere, but not sure where to start.

Possibly not the issue with you given you'd have noted it before applying the new GPO's, but I had this issue with a customer. Turns out they had other GPO's which they had created previously to block commercial OneDrive accounts, and this also blocked the OneDrive for Business client completely.

As you say, no need to modify the admx and adml file.
