The documentation has been updated per your feedback. Thanks Thomas!

You're correct, the newest ADMX drops won't work for clients that haven't been updated to rely on the new ADMX implementation. You can confirm if the client has this capability by looking for the ADMX folder on machines that are updated semi-annually.

    I am trying to implement One Drive Folder redirection, I followed the steps by Paul blog as well as what is recommended by MS, however, I am seeing nothing happen when I log into my PC my documents doesn't get copied to One drive. When I run a rsop on my pc I see this notification not sure;  When a do a GPRESULT, I do see the security group that I have added my self to which the policy filters to only me.
