Onedrive Personal and Work Based Accounts

[2097]

Hi ,

 

Seem to have a few users that managed to register their onedrive account as a "Personal" account before we implemented it all on the work email .

 

This has a bit of an issue with the Onedrive SSO , as it asks if this is a "personal" or "Work" email. We actually have "Personal" disabled on GPO .. But this dont seem to matter.

 

Any one know a way to bypass this , as its going to cause endless headaches !

 

Thanks

They can try changing the alias on the personal account. Which account do you want to use? - Microsoft Support

You can delete the personal account, but it takes 2 weeks iirc, so might be easier to rename it as above

We have ours restricted so that only accounts from our tenant can log in to OneDrive, don't know if this might help - GPO ref - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/sharepoint/use-group-policy#allow-syncing-onedrive-accounts-for-only-specific-organizations.

 

When I mucked up some of the initial settings for our OneDrive deployment, I found that if you wanted to flatten someone's OneDrive config and start again, removing this registry key should do the trick.

This worked well for us, either in a script or as a "run once" item in GPO prefs, as we had the rest of the OneDrive config running silently in the background.
