OneDrive Configuration (Intune)

FI_Post_Intune

In this post I will display how you can use Intune to configure OneDrive for your users, this can automatically configure a number of features. I will be using an Intune Configuration Profile to do this.

Within your Intune admin center, navigate to Devices > Configuration Profiles & click Create Profile.

In the Create a profile pane, select the following:

Platform: Windows 10 and later
Profile type: Templates
Template name: Device restrictions

Click Create.

Enter a name for your new Configuration Profile.

On the settings screen, click Add Settings.

Search for OneDrive
Select the OneDrive category
I chose to configure the following settings, however there are more that you can use;

  1. Warn users who are low on disk space
  2. Use OneDrive Files On-Demand
  3. Silently sign in users to the OneDrive sync app with their Windows credentials
  4. Silently move Windows known folders to OneDrive
  5. Require users to confirm large delete operations
  6. Allow syncing OneDrive accounts for only specific organizations

Apply the following settings;

  1. Enable: Warn users who are low on disk space – (I chose to keep the disk space size of 500 as default)
  2. Enable: Use OneDrive Files On-Demand
  3. Enable: Silently sign in users to the OneDrive sync app with their Windows credentials
  4. Enable: Silently move Windows known folders to OneDrive – (I chose to enable the user notification that files had been redirected)
  5. Enable: Require users to confirm large delete operations
  6. Enable: Allow syncing OneDrive accounts for only specific organizations – (You then have to specify the Tenant ID which you can obtain from AAD)

Click Next on the Scope tags screen.

I chose to assign this to All Devices.
Click Next.

Review your settings.

Your new Configuration Profile will then be created.

I then navigated to Devices > All Devices, selected my test VM & clicked the Sync button to force it to check in.

Outcome

Once the profile applies to your devices the setting will take effect.

  • OneDrive silently signed in.
  • Files on demand enforced.
  • Silently moved Known folders to OneDrive.
