Heyya

I am trying to configure my AVD with Win11 multi-session Desktops with OneDrive where the OneDrive sync app does not auto-sign in. (I don't want all users to be able to use OneDrive right now, just a few selected)

  • Configured OneDrive GPO has pics:

Computer Configuration

User's image

User Configuration

  • User's image

However....

When doing a first login, I see the client is offline (not logged in)

User's image

Then I log in:

User's image

User is not able to change the default location as set on the GPO - Great > Next

User's image

But I get this box where the user can select/deselect known folders

User's image

Not sure why as I have set to Enabled the GPO setting "Silent move Windows known folders to OneDrive" in Computer Configuration

Is there a way to disable this selection?

Thanks, M

    Yes, the Win11 machine is AAD joined.

    Am I missing a policy setting somewhere?

    Hi

    To anyone who comes across this issue.

    It's not possible to remove that window or user call to action.

    However GPO settings will still apply even if a user says no to all.
