Syntax for Onedrive.admx edits - DefaultRootDir
The problem is that the .admx template wrongly adds to the registry a REG_SZ instead of a REG_EXPAND_SZ, so the former does not expand the environment variable.
You can verify it by yourself, changing manually the type in the registry: you will find that REG_EXPAND_SZ works perfectly.
So the template must be edited manually to work, at least until someone at Microsoft will correct it.
Hope it helps...
