Hi,
I posted this in one drive forum but was asked to post here as GPO related...so:
In a lab environment i enabled these 3 GPOs:
- Silently sign in users to the OneDrive sync client with their Windows credentials
- Silently move Windows known folders to OneDrive
- Prompt users to move Windows known folders to OneDrive (incase an error occurs)
I was testing on a windows 7 client machine (yes i know support expires soon)
They are all machine group policy, and i logged in with a few test accounts and it behaved as expected synchronisnig the files up to one drive.
I then wanted to disable the GPO policy to see what the behaviour was
so i set
Silently move Windows known folders to OneDrive -> disabled
Prompt users to move Windows known folders to OneDrive -> disabled
When i set this Machine Group policy to disable it, I ran a gpupdate /force it on the client and checked it removed the two associated registry keys but the my documents, my pics, desktop and associated files were still showing as synchronised. I logged out / in and still the same
So my questions are
1) What is the correct way to disable known folder move once its been enabled e.g. just setting the GPOs to disabled didn't seem to work for me. I even looked at enabling "Prevent users from moving their windows known folders to onedrive"
2) What is the behaviour for the files that were in my docs, my pics, my desktop and sync'd to one drive once you disable.
thanks
Brad
