Hans Brender

Why? This is the first blog post that appears here now. The first, of more. On the topic of OneDrive and group policies. The background is that I find in my OneDrive workshops that the knowledge of these group policies should be refreshed in many administrators. However, I will limit myself to how group policies work. I will not describe programs that can be used to roll out these group policies such as System Center Configuration Manager, Intune or Microsoft Endpoint Manager. For the description of the group policy, I will only use the local group policy editor, for the … OneDrive – Group Policy Series weiterlesen

OneDrive | new Group Policy in 21.109.0530.0001

Hans Brender

Starting with OneDrive version 21.109.0530.0001, we find a new group policy called “Prevent users from contacting Microsoft for feedback and support". In larger environments, in-house support wants to know where the users have issues. Then you can counter accordingly with training or internal documentation. For now, users have the option of contacting Microsoft directly. The administrators have 3 options to prevent this: Send Feedback Receive user satisfication surveys Contact OneDrive Support GP not activated GP activated OneDrive | new Group Policy in 21.109.0530.0001 weiterlesen

Hans Brender

Something has happened again with the group policies. With the Insider version 21.099.0516.0003 on Friday, 05/29/21  a new group policy object was added.

Five steps from "Classic Sync" to "Add to OneDrive"

Hans Brender

A change from the classic method of synchronization to the new synchronization with Add to OneDrive is not always easy. After I have described the principles here, then also again showed the advantages and disadvantages, now a step-by-step guide.   We have synchronized the entire library. It does not matter how many items are included. When the "Files on demand" function is enabled, the files that I do not have in progress do not take up space on the hard disk. This is about the SharePoint Online document library B2B-Marketing. The icon next to the folder indicates that the files … Five steps from "Classic Sync" to "Add to OneDrive" weiterlesen

Add To OneDrive – the next step

Hans Brender

In the long term, Microsoft is launching the next generation of synchronization with "Add to OneDrive". The idea of synchronization, which is the basic element of collaboration, has its limitations, which has led to extensive reorganizations of SharePoint libraries at some Microsoft 365 customers. Although the processors of the small devices have become faster and faster, we are reaching our limits with very many files. With Windows 10, build 1709, "Files on demand" has been introduced. This function accelerated the synchronization of large libraries considerably, because in principle only the entries of the file name had to be transferred.

OneDrive | Update: Exclude specific kinds of files from being uploaded

Hans Brender

[Supplement 23.11.2020] This is a post to a blog post from 11/16/20. Please read here first Documentation The Microsoft documentation on Group Policy "Exclude certain file types from uploading" is partly incorrect and incomplete. Incorrect: The registry key is incorrect Missing information: currently no Office formats are supported. I have only tested this with docx, xlsx and pptx.  Microsoft has informed me that the documentation will be adapted. In the wildcard description only the asterisk [*] is described. But also the question mark [?] works.

Hans Brender

With the Update came during the week. Not on the weekend. On 8/26/2020 I installed version 20.154.0802.0003. An insiders version. And I was curious. Because with the installation also a ghost or duplicate, which had been there for some time, disappeared. Microsoft told me that you did not know where this duplicate came from. But that it would be gone with version 20.154.xxxx.xxxx. What am I talking about? I have two identical entries, but only one common memory location. But in the meantime I found out what causes such a behaviour. For a Remote OneDrive Workshop I rolled out a … OneDrive – new Version 20.154.0802.0003 | Group Policy weiterlesen

OneDrive | Group Policy Change : Allow syncing OneDrive accounts

Hans Brender

Microsoft announced. that the behavior for the Group Policy Allow syncing OneDrive accounts for only specific organizations will be changed. Currently, if you have enabled the setting but have not specified a Tenant ID, the setting will block all organizations. With this change, having the setting enabled without a Tenant ID being specified will have the same effect as if the feature were disabled. You do not need to do anything unless you were intentionally relying on the behavior of enabling this setting with no Tenant ID in order to prevent OneDrive from syncing with any organization. In that case, … OneDrive | Group Policy Change : Allow syncing OneDrive accounts weiterlesen

OneDrive | jetzt korrekte Dokumentation bei Gruppenrichtlinien

Hans Brender

Manchmal dauert es etwas länger, aber irgendwann ist es dann soweit. Die deutsche Dokumentation bei den Gruppenrichtlinien zu OneDrive ist jetzt endlich korrekt. Hier waren ursprünglich zwei Überstzungsteams von Microsoft beteiligt. Das GPO Team hat eine eigene Übersetzung der Gruppenrichtlinien vorgenommen. Das Dokumentations-Team hat die US  Namen selbst übersetzt. Das führte dazu, dass Administratoren, die mit der deutschen, lokaliserten Version arbeiten wollen, keine Übereinstimmung vorgefunden haben. Jetzt hat sich das, nicht nur in der deutschen, sondern in allen lokaliserten Sprachversionen erledigt. Vielen Dank Microsoft.   Hier die Auflistung aller OneDrive Gruppenrichtlinien (23.10.19) Synchronisierung von OneDrive-Konten nur für bestimmte Organisationen zulassen … OneDrive | jetzt korrekte Dokumentation bei Gruppenrichtlinien weiterlesen

Bug: Configure Team site libraries to sync automatically

Hans Brender

Wer derzeit eine Team site library automatisch per Gruppenrichtlinie ausrollen möchte, wird bei der Konfiguration beim Ermitteln der eindeutigen ID , bestehend TenantID+WebID+ListID+WebUrl auf ein Problem stoßen, weil beim Klicken auf die Share-Funktion als SharePoint Online Administrator das PopUp Fenster den Link nicht anzeigt. Das liegt nicht am Browser und ich habe Microsoft darüber informiert. Der Bug wurde bestätigt und die korrigierte Version wird derzeit wieder auf alle Tenants wieder ausgerollt. Das Ganze kann aber noch eine Weile dauern. Workaround: Natürlich lässt sich dieser Wert auf per PowerShell ermitteln und die einzelnen Werte per String-Manipulation auf einen einzelnen String „umbauen“: … Bug: Configure Team site libraries to sync automatically weiterlesen
