This version is installed with the Windows 10 Insider Build 14986 or 14393. After theses releases Microsoft also has released this verion to other groups. There ois a issue with the US chnagelog website, becauuse Microsoft cut out the version 6705.1122 and replaced it with the version 17.3.6720.1207
Remarks about Version 17.3.6705.1122
You see in the Changelog, that this version is a released Version and a Public Preview with the same number. In the MAC Area you see, that there are two different versions. So for MAC User, they now have a separate Download Link, because Apple does not change the version, so there is still an old version there.
The difference with both versions
Both versions have the same functions, but the Preview has some more, but you have to do something manually to get the new functions from the Preview.
The Release Version now will be available to more users around the globe.
Preview
If you want to test the new functions of the Preview version, you have to read the following articles:
Transition from the previous OneDrive for Business sync client for SharePoint sites
This Microsoft Article will tell us, how we are able to switch from Groove.exe to Next Generation Sync client to sync data from Office 365 document libraries to local machnies. But also the restrictions.
Get started syncing SharePoint sites with the new OneDrive sync client – Preview
In this article, also from Microsoft, you see the manual steps, like to download and install a Registry-Key. You have to read this manual until the end, because there are some issues with the Internet Explorer.
Summary
You get some new features from the Preview version, if you do some manual steps. And this is the reason, why the Next Generation Sync Client is not global available. These manual steps must be automatically….
Remarks about Version 17.3.6674.1021
The Version 17.3.6674.1021 was first published as a preview version and now as a Released Version. This Version will work only with Office 365. And I advise you urgently, to read the following Microsoft Document. So with this Version you may sync data from
- OneDrive (Personal)
- OneDrive for Business
- Files in Document-Libraries at Team-Sites
- Files in Document-Libraries at Groups
- Files, Shared with me
[Note 11/28/16]
Keep in mind, that the version 17.3.6674.1021 does not automatic changeover your old Groove.exe libraries.Also you have to install a registry Key, to sync from Groups and Team Sites. Again: Read the following Microsoft Document
[Note 11/29/16]
I received an Email form the Microsoft Product Group, regarding the different versions:
- The last full Released Version has the version number 0809
- Version 1021 is an Interim Update and Release
If you tenant is set on first Release, then you are able to use version 1021, to sync data from team sites. But you have to install the version manually and set the registry key. Do it with the Microsoft Document.
The next full version will come this year with a version number 11xx
To sync data with all SharePoint Server OnPremise (all Versions), you still have to use the old “Groove.exe”. Here is the Microsoft Download site for the 32- and 64 Bit Versions of the different Groove.exe.

OneDrive for Business | June-Update (Groove.exe)
Microsoft published 2 new Updates on June 5th 2018. So the name of the Updates could be a little bit confuse:
… update for OneDrive for Business for Office …
If you think, yeah, that’s for the new sync engine, called New Generation Sync Client, you are wrong. it is for the old Groove.exe.With this Update the old Groove Version should be lift up, that you may migrate later on… But wait
You may first read KB3178712 (Office 2013) or KB4011100 (Office 2016). First, it is only for MSI installations of Office. And yes, then you may update the version of Groove.exe
 |
 |
Be aware that the update in Download Center applies to Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2013 or Office 2016. It doesn’t apply to the Office 2013 /2016 Click-to-Run editions such as Microsoft Office 365 Home
To determine whether your Office installation is Click-to-Run or MSI-based, follow these steps:
- Open an Office 2013/ 2016 application, such as Microsoft Word 2013/2016.
- On the File menu, select Account.
- For Office 2013 /2016 Click-to-Run installations, an Update Options item is displayed. For MSI-based installations, the Update Options item isn’t displayed.
You will found the file groove.exe here: X:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15 for Office 2013 and X:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16 for Office 2016
So the version for Office 2013 of the file should be 15.0.4907.1000 or higher.
And the version for Office 2016 of the file should be 16.0.4504.1000 or higher.
But the description in the KB article is a little bit confusing:
OneDrive (OneDrive.exe) can take over the synchronization relationships from OneDrive for Business (Groove.exe) now.
This update adds the capabilities to Groove.exe to prepare it to silently and automatically migrate synchronization tasks from Groove.exe to OneDrive.exe. Future updates to OneDrive.exe will mate with this change to complete the automatic migration.
After update you may migrate to the OneDrive.exe. But that is not always true. I descriobe with some pictures, what you may sync with these two sync clients:
You still have to use the old sync client called “Groove.exe) to sync to all of document libraries on all SharePoint Server on premises. The Next Generation Sync Client (OneDrive.exe) is used to sync to all Document-libraries in Office 365 (SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business).
So that’s correct, but we have to dive a little bit deeper:
You must use the Groove client to sync data to all SharePoint Server onPremises versions. There is no selective sync (You may sync all or nothing). And there are more limitations in this KB2933738 article.
With the Groove client, and that’s is shown in the picture above, you may sync to IRM protected document libraries and other document libraries in SharePoint Online. And with that IRM stuff you have ta have it done till end of 2017. Although you are syncing with the cloud, you still have the same limitations, written down in KB2933738.
Because of that situation, and because of the issues at the beginning with the Next Generation Sync Client, Microsoft want to establish a smooth migration part for these MSI Office installations. So then You may use the Next Generation sync client.
But only to the Cloud
The Next Generation is not able to sync your data from libraries of SharePoint Server 2007, 2010, 2013 or 2016 == onPremises.
If you want to sync your document libraries of SharePoint on Premise, you have to install/upgrade to Version SharePoint Server 2019, which will be available at the end of the year 2018.
OneDrive for Business | Juni-Update (Groove.exe)
Microsoft hat am 5.Juni 2018 zwei Updates auf den Weg gebracht, deren Titel etwas Verwirrung stiften kann:
… update for OneDrive for Business for Office…
Dabei ist nicht der Next Generation Sync Client (OneDrive .exe) gemeint, sondern die alte Groove.exe, die auf einen neuen Stand gehoben werden soll. Es handelt sich dabei um die KB3178712 (Office 2013) und KB4011100 (Office 2016). Microsoft spricht in beiden Fällen oftmals von OneDrive for Business. Das führt zu diversen Verwechslungen
Das Update kann erst mal installiert werden. Die Voraussetzungen für das Update ist, dass wir ein Office-Paket als msi installiert haben.
| vor der Installation | nach der Installation |
 |
 |
Dieses Update ist nur für MSI Installationen.
Bei C2R Installationen sollten die Updates automatisch installiert werden
Sie wissen nicht, ob Sie eine Klick-und-Los (C2R) oder eine MSI Installation haben?
Starten Sie eine Office 2013-Anwendung wie Microsoft Word 2013.
- Auf die Datei Menü klicken Sie auf Konto.
- Für Installationen von Office 2013 Klick-und-Los ein -Update-Optionen Element wird angezeigt. MSI-basierte Installationen der Update-Optionen Element nicht angezeigt
Der Name des Synchronisations-Client für OneDrive for Business ist Groove.exe und befindet sich im Programm-Verzeichnis: X:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15 für Office 2013 bzw. X:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16 für die Office 2016 Variante.
Hier sollte unter Office 2013 die Version 15.0.5037.1000 und 16.04702.1000 oder höher sein.
Interessant ist aber auch die Beschreibung. Ich habe hier die englische Version genommen, weil die “deutsche” nur eine maschinelle Übersetzung ist:
OneDrive (OneDrive.exe) can take over the synchronization relationships from OneDrive for Business (Groove.exe) now.
This update adds the capabilities to Groove.exe to prepare it to silently and automatically migrate synchronization tasks from Groove.exe to OneDrive.exe. Future updates to OneDrive.exe will mate with this change to complete the automatic migration.
Das liest sich als ob es möglich wäre, eine Migration auf den Next Generation Sync Client durchzuführen. Das hört sich gut an. Aber gerade letzte Woche bei einem Workshop zum Thema OneDrive habe ich gemerkt, dass hier noch immer Nachholbedarf besteht. Denn was hier nicht steht, mit wem welcher Synchronisations-Client den verbunden werden kann.
Hierzu ein paar Bilder, die die Möglichkeiten der Synchronisation ausgeben:
Der alte Synchronisations-Client (Groove.exe) wird für alle Synchronisationen zu jeder Dokumentenbibliothek von SharePoint Server onPremise benötigt. Der Next Generation Sync Client (OneDrive.exe) wird für die Synchronisation zu allen Dokument-Bibliotheken in Office 365 (SharePoint Online + OneDrive for Business) benutzt.
Diese Aussage ist erst einmal richtig, muss aber ein bisschen genauer betrachtet werden:
Der Groove Client muss zur Synchronisation von allen onPremise Varianten von SharePoint Server benutzt werden. Es gibt keine selektive Synchronisation (Alles oder gar nix). Weitere Einschränkungen finden Sie im KB2933738
Der Groove Client kann aber, und das zeigt das obige Bild, auch zur Synchronisation zu IRM geschützte Dokument Bibliotheken und andere Dokument Bibliotheken in SharePoint Online verwendet werden. Bei IRM musste man bis Ende 2017 sogar den Groove Client benutzen. Es gelten aber die Beschränkungen des KB2933738.
Weil viele Benutzer noch den alten Groove Client zur Synchronisation zu Office 365 benutzen hat Microsoft jetzt die obigen Updates für Office 2013 und Office 2016, installiert als MSI, veröffentlicht.
Damit soll eine Möglichkeit geschaffen werden, den Groove Client abzulösen.
Allerdings gilt das nur für die Cloud.
Der Next Generation Sync Client (OneDrive.exe ) kann keine Bibliotheken synchronisieren, die in Sharepoint Server 2007, 2010, 2013 oder 2016 == onPremises installiert sind.
Um SharePoint on Premises Bibliotheken zu synchronisieren müssen Sie die Version SharePoint Server 2019 (wird im Herbst 2018 zur Verfügung stehen) installiert haben.
OneDrive for Business | Office 2016 Sicherheitsupdate KB3178659
 |
|
Am 4.April 2017 wurden von Microsoft eine ganze Reihe nicht sicherheitsrelevanter Updates für Office 2013 und Office 2016 freigegeben. Ins Auge gestochen ist mir dabei das Update KB3178659 für Office 2016, das als msi-Paket installiert wurde. Obwohl es eigentlich eine deutsche Microsoft Seite sein sollte, ist diese nicht übersetzt worden.
Was wird hier für die typischen Office Applikationen wie Word, Excel, PowerPoint geändert?
Es kommt zu einem Absturz des Next Generation Sync Clients wenn, aus einem synchronisierten Ordner heraus eine Datei mit einer Office Applikation geöffnet wir, aber nur wenn die Datei zuerst mit dem alten Sync-Client “Groove.exe” synchronisiert wurde, und dann die Datei auf den Next Generation Sync Client umgestellt wurde.
Um ganz ehrlich zu sein:
Klar habe ich auch mit Office 365 Dokumente nicht nur in OneDrive for Business, sondern auch von SharePoint Online synchronisiert. Und zwar mit dem alten Groove Client. Alles oder nichts. Und dann kam mit Windows 10 der NGSC. Mit selektiver Synchronisation. Aber ich kann mich beim besten Willen nicht mehr erinnern, ob ich die alte Synchronisation übernommen habe, oder nicht. Ich habe mehr als eine Team Site. Deshalb wird es für mich schwierig sein…
Aber vielleicht wissen Sie es besser. Und haben Office als msi-Paket installiert. Dann ist das Update bestimmt das richtige.
OneDrive for Business | March-Update
For all friends of SharePoint Server on Premises: Microsoft has published on 7th of March 2017 an Update for the old Sync Client called “Groove.exe”. The last Update was released at December 2016
No, I do not have good news. The Next Generation Sync Client is still syncing only to Office 365
| KB3178645 Office 2013 KB3141458 Office 2016 |
Changes the priority ranking of certain error messages that are shown to users to adjust actionability and severeness. OneDrive for Business may crash during the synchronization process. OneDrive for Business may be stuck in a permanent error state while you try to synchronize a library. |
Both Updates are valid only for MSI Installations, not Click to run.

Be aware that the update in Download Center applies to Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2013. It doesn’t apply to the Office 2013 Click-to-Run editions such as Microsoft Office 365 Home
To determine whether your Office installation is Click-to-Run or MSI-based, follow these steps:
- Open an Office 2013 application, such as Microsoft Word 2013.
- On the File menu, select Account.
- For Office 2013 Click-to-Run installations, an Update Options item is displayed. For MSI-based installations, the Update Options item isn’t displayed.
You will found the file groove.exe here: X:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15 for Office 2013 and X:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16 for Office 2016
So the version for Office 2013 of the file should be 15.0.4907.1000 or higher.
And the version for Office 2016 of the file should be 16.0.4504.1000 or higher.
OneDrive for Business | März-Update
Für die Freunde von SharePoint Server onPremises hat Microsoft am 7.März 2017 ein Update für den Synch-Client “Groove.exe” veröffentlicht. Das letzte Update wurde im Dezember 2016 auf den Weg gebracht.
Nein, ich habe keine guten Nachrichten: Der Next Generation Sync Client (NGSC) beherrscht noch immer keine onPremise Variante.
| KB3178645 Office 2013 KB3141458 Office 2016 |
Changes the priority ranking of certain error messages that are shown to users to adjust actionability and severeness. OneDrive for Business may crash during the synchronization process. OneDrive for Business may be stuck in a permanent error state while you try to synchronize a library. Wenn man die nur in englischer Sprache vorliegenden Änderungen übersetzt… Die Prioritätsreihenfolge beim Auftauchen von Fehlern wurde geändert, so dass der Anwender jetzt mit anderen Fehlermeldungen, die den Fehler beschreiben, konfrontiert wird. ein weiterer Fehler, der zum Absturz von OneDrive for Business geführt hat, wurde beseitigt. die letzte Meldung kann man so interpretieren, dass OneDrive for Business in einer Schleife festhing, aus der es kein Entrinnen gab. Dies trat auf, wenn Sie versucht haben, eine Bibliothek zu synchronisieren. |
