Why????????????????????

Yes and me for the file if it will work. Thanks.

Hello, I suppose this SIMS reporting error if using OneDrive is still a thing? Can you please clarify is this the folder C:\Users\username\OneDrive - School\Documents\tempSimsRpt Have you found a way to prevent Documents\tempSimsRpt to be excluded from OneDrive syncing globally? REG, GPO? Thanks Boredguy.

Thanks MicrodigitUK, we have just started thinking about FSLogix, and we thought the multiple sessions scenario could be a sticking point. There is an article on this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fslogix/configure-concurrent-multiple-connections-ht but I dont think the multiple vhdx's will ever merge. Also during our testing we found that FSLogix blocked our OneDrive 'files on demand' setting and made everything from the users onedrive download. anyone use fslogix successfully in a school?

Thanks, is this different to 'files on demand'?

I have set the reg key but we are still experiencing the same behaviour. - Open any (.pptx) file from a OneDrive folder in explorer and it downloads and then opens in the desktop App. - Open the same file from the browser selecting 'Open/Open in App' and file opens instantly from the cloud, no downloading, in the desktop App. There must be way to make files opened from Explorer also behave like this?

We are thinking about the Adobe Cloud as maybe being a solution for all the CC Apps, they are nearly all cloud compatible now. However we have found an issue where when an App (Photoshop for example) first opens it seems to see that the user is not signed in and makes the save to cloud unavailable, then the user signs in (it prompts them after a few seconds) but the save to cloud option remains greyed out until the next time the App opens.... Maybe we ditch the Adobe cloud idea and just use OneDrive.

Thanks for the replies, what we are trying to simulate and have a plan for, is when students work on a files, click save and then log off while OneDrive is synchronising the changes (hence losing their work). How do you prevent/minimise this?

I am testing with some v. big Office files - e.g. 2GB PowerPoints. Unusual, but they're only files I found in our Curriculum folders...

Here's the scenario: OneDrive Sync Tool Installed User Opens a very large Office file in their user folder. The file downloads to C:\Users (slowly) User makes some changes and the file syncs/uploads to OneDrive (slowly) I thought with Office365 installed files in OneDrive would open from OneDrive Cloud rather than downloading? How can collaboration possibly work if everyone works on their own copies in C:\Users?

We have found the offending error in the Office install log but what we can do about it...? This is on a freshly imaged up to date Win10 x64 machine with no software installed, we have already set the install (using the config tool) to not uninstall any previous versions. We are already using the Enterprise CDN. "ErrorCode": 0, "ErrorType": "", "AppVErrorSource": "", "ErrorMessage": "", "ErrorDetails": "", "ContextData": "{"message":"Failed to use PowerShell deprovision Appx package","Error":"Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'PackageName' because it is null."}"} Ideas? Thanks

I have created our Office365 install, it works fine when running the command when logged in: Start-Process "\\domain\MSI\Office\Office365\Deployment\setup.exe" -ArgumentList '/configure "\\Domain\MSI\Office\Office365\Deployment\Office365Config.xml"' -Wait but as soon as I put the command in startup script it start, the progress bar gets to about 50% then it hangs forever. Permissions are the same as all other folders the MSI folder and all other MSI's (including our old Office2019) work fine at startup. Ideas..? Is there something funny about O365? I am using a local install source rather than CDN.

Thanks https://hansbrender.com/all-onedrive-versions/#tabwin just seems to open my onedrive when downloading any version.

Thanks, so along as I can get the allusers version installed it should stay up to date. The trouble is the windows 10 version is newer than the downloaded version so when running setup with /allusers it prompts to uninstall the old version first..

Hello, I am testing OneDrive on Win10. To get it installed per machine I want to install onedrivesetup.exe /allusers but the builtin in OneDrive version is already newer than the downloadable version and needs uninstalling. This will bring about a load of problems in the future with versions and scripts if I have to uninstall first. Can anyone advise what they do to the OneDrive all users install, keeping it up-to-date and what they do with the builtin version (which is only current user)? Thanks

I dont think you can switch user from a locked computer.

OK, so if we do enable lock I also need to enable restart (which is currently disabled by GPO) the only thing I can see that is set is the GPO: "Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate commands" I dont really want ALL of those things, any way to pick just to allow restart?

there were incidents of students doing unwanted things on other students' computers which they found logged on...

Hello does anyone allow students to lock their computers. From what I can see the only option for the next user would be 'restart' if a student had walked away from their locked computer and not come back. Any problems you can see with that? It is something we have just never enabled but has now come up as a security risk.

We are moving 'All staff' shared folders to SharePoint (things like Policies, Guides, Forms etc) but I am stuck with Word Templates .dotx, has anyone got a solution to make a template in a SharePoint folder open as a normal word document? Thanks

I want to make all documents across a SharePoint SITE to open in the installed (not web) Office. There are lots of guides all saying the same thing Site information View all site settings Site Collection features activate the feature "Open documents in the client application" but this menu is not there. Setting this per library is fine, but it seems there is a way to do it per site.. Thoughts?

Hello, I have been asked to investigate staff MFA onsite (so staff logging into their classroom/office PC were forced to MFA) and we were wondering if other schools do this, and how they approach it. We already have Duo MFA setup for staff when remote 365 and RDP login. I think the obvious problems will be: 1. Staff refusing to use their personal mobiles for school use 2. Personal mobiles being not charged/forgotten etc 3. 4G coverage is very poor where we are 4. Inconvenience for already busy staff 5. Supply staff who move to different computers being asked every lesson for MFA (other staff will probably be Ok to be remembered for 24 hours and will not move computers) Possible ideas: 1. Only forcing MFA on senior staff 2. Providing some/all staff with hardware tokens. How's it working for others?

Hello, I have an 'EXE' AppLocker policy working fine in Intune (created by exporting the .xml from local GPO and creating a custom Intune policy), but my Q is with a similar 'Scripts' AppLocker policy, how do I stop these rules applying to administrators (this will be Azure admins presumably). Do I need to change the exported default rules allowing 'BUILTIN\Administrators' to some Azure group or user or email address or something? Thanks

Hello, as part of new user creation we need to create the subject folders in OneDrive so they at least start with a bit of structure to save into. I thought the PnP.PowerShell module was the answer. $SharePointSite = "https://schoolname-my.sharepoint.com/personal/test10_schoolname_com" $FolderName = "Geography" Resolve-PnPFolder -SiteRelativePath "$SharePointSite/Documents/$FolderName" but I am getting: Resolve-PnPFolder : Access denied. even though I am a site collection admin on all user folders. Any ideas how to create the folders in users OneDrive's?

Hello, sorry this is a re post, the question went cold. We want to move our shared Curriculum resource folders (French, History, Geography etc) to SharePoint. I am thinking to have a site called 'Curriculum Files' containing Document Libraries for each subject, then 2 folders ('staff' and 'students') in each Document Library. But with Staff having edit (so they can save things) means they can delete/rename the whole top level folder. You can't do 'This folder only' permissions in SharePoint so what's the solution? How have you laid out SharePoint shared folders?
