OneDrive for Business - Usage, guidance and next steps

[bodminman]

Hi there,

 

this is just a quick questions to see if you are using onedrive for staff and/or students and what restrictions, if any you have in place for these users.

 

We currently have RM Unify and the OneDrive mapper creating a O:\ drive map to users OneDrive account. Currently we only have 5 users running this and they love it, which is good.

 

However, I'm interested in seeing how many schools have this setup and as above, see if you are using onedrive for staff and/or students and what restrictions, if any you have in place for these users.

 

Would also like to know how straight forward the step is for having their home drives mapped to OneDrive and shared areas but need to know more about the restriction side of things.

 

Thanks in advance!

We are Primary based and use Onedrive for Staff with known folder migration.

 

This doesn't use mapping, but redirects the Documents, Desktop and Pictures folders to OneDrive on login.

@bodminman Please see my documentation for how I've achieved what you want via GPO - https://gdsto365-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/s_nicholas_rhsb_gdst_net/EW4v-eP3lmlBstj0PNG-EL4B65EOnJink62Vs0DPvZ5D5A

 

Folder redirection. Automatic OneDrive sign-in. Map OneDrive to File Explorer. Create sub folders in users OneDrive areas for Desktop, Documents, etc.

@thimon any reason you didn't just use a GPP call to map your O drive instead of a batch file?

@Boredguy I tried and tried. I don't think GPP likes have a \\localhost\c$\users\%username% variable. In a script it works no problem, gave up getting it to work via GPP. It's a tiny logon script so I'm happy.

It would likely have worked if you had created a share at the users folder, as C$ should only be for admins to connect, but just wondered
