Onedrive.exe /reset automation

Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out how to run the command "%localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe" /reset in a batch file. Since the onedrive exe is in the user's appdata folder, I'm having a hard time creating a script for this.

Hi @dewey

Maybe you could copy Start "" "%localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe" /reset into a .txt file. Then rename the file extension name to be ".bat".

The reference of start - Start a program, command or batch script (opens in a new window).

Hi Jiajing, thanks for the quick reply. I've tried that before and it does work if I run the batch file locally. However, when I deploy it to, it does not seem to work.

Hi @dewey Thanks for your back. Could you tell us how did you deploy it? Is this command ran after user sign into their Windows account?

I'm wondering if you could deploy this somewhere profile agnostic like "C:\COMPANY\Scripts" and also deploy a task for when a user signs in that runs the .BAT at the interval you're looking to reset OneDrive?
