OneDrive – new Version 20.154.0802.0003 | Group Policy


With the Update came during the week. Not on the weekend. On 8/26/2020 I installed version 20.154.0802.0003. An insider 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


Microsoft announced. that the behaviour 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 behaviour 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


Manchmal dauert es etwas länger, aber irgendwann ist es dann so weit. Die deutsche Dokumentation bei den Gruppenrichtlinien zu OneDrive ist jetzt endlich korrekt. Hier waren ursprünglich zwei Übersetzungsteams 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, lokalisierten Version arbeiten wollen, keine Übereinstimmung vorgefunden haben. Jetzt hat sich das, nicht nur in der deutschen, sondern in allen lokalisierten 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


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

OneDrive | Storage Sense (with group Policies)


I’m always asked what it’s like with the different OneDrive status symbols. Most of my OneDrive workshops I do not get any, or only wrong answers. This is the reason to write another blog post about it.
