SharePoint 2016 onprem change default redirection to personal site

Question

Greetings!

We have Sharepoint 2016 onprem version. When users open url https://portal.company.com they are redirected to their personal sites(OneDrive) For example https://portal.company.com/personal/user/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx.

We need to achieve the goal when user come to https://portal.company.com he should be redirected to https://portal.company.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx by default. There are two apps in applist - OneDrive and SharePoint. How could we change the default one? Thank you!

Hi @Lazarev Roman ，

• Can you log in to the sharepoint.aspx page？Did you customize this page? As far as I know this page only exists in SharePoint 2019 and SharePoint Online.
• As for you jumping to the onedrive.aspx page, after my test, it is because you used the root path suggested in the example when setting my site host, not the absolute path of the host site. Please check if you have set it like this.
  Manage service applications: Manage Profile Service->My Site Settings->Setup My Sites

We usually don't set the root path to my site host location, since you have already created it with the root path, you can only recreate it. If you are not created with root path, you will be redirected directly to the home page of the site.
