How to deploy OneDrive next generation sync client with SCCM

  • [アーティクル]

Hello everyone!

I've seen people having trouble while deploying the OneDrive next generation sync client with SCCM,

So i've decided to create a new blog post to share same ideas of how i'm usually deploying it on our clients.

 

On the Onedrive documentation we have the following:

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Plan-to-deploy-the-OneDrive-for-Business-Next-Generation-Sync-Client-in-an-enterprise-environment-6af6d757-0a73-4fe8-99bd-14c56a333fa3

I just want to install the OneDrive.exe client on user’s machines

Maybe all you’re interested in is getting the new OneDrive for Business sync client onto your users’ machines. If all you want to do is install OneDrive.exe on a machine you can use either SCCM or a Group Policy script to execute the following:

Execute <pathToSomeAccessibleNetworkShare>\OneDriveSetup.exe /silent

Result: OneDrive.exe is installed transparently on your users’ machines, but it is not automatically launched. Users can launch OneDrive.exe by opening their OneDrive folder in File Explorer, or by launching OneDrive from the start menu. Or IT administrators at any time later can run %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe through SCCM or Group Policy script to automatically open OneDrive.exe on the users machine.

 

This new Onedrive client has some specific requirements to be created as an SCCM application as it's based on an EXE file that is installed on a user Profile. This means that we need to create an Application based on a script instead of an MSI and that we need to run it only we have an user logged on so that we can get it on the proper users profile

 

 

On this post I will discuss only the installation part, you will need to run Onedrive.exe afterwards either by asking the users to do so or you can also automate the Onedrive execution with SCCM. Start by creating a simple application based on a script

  • Start by creating an application based on a script1
  • Then fill out the application information 2

 

  • On the deployment types, add a new type of deployment of Script Installer type

3

 

 

4

 

  • This is one of the most important part of this deployment, the detection method, for this specific detection as the application is always installed on the user profile, we need to scan on the current user profile for the OneDrive.exe to see if it's installed or not. We need to use the option to "use a custom script to detect the presence of this deployment type" and then use the following script:

 

I need to give a huge thanks to my colleague Herbert Fuchs who's an amazing SCCM PFE based in Austria and a Powershell Guru that entirely developed this detection script.

Just copy & Paste the bellow into the SCCM console:

# OneDriveSetup Detection in ConfigMgr

[String]$LogfileName = "OneDriveDetection"

[String]$Logfile = "$env:SystemRoot\logs\$LogfileName.log"

Function Write-Log

{

Param ([string]$logstring)

If (Test-Path $Logfile)

{

If ((Get-Item $Logfile).Length -gt 2MB)

{

Rename-Item $Logfile $Logfile".bak" -Force

}

}

$WriteLine = (Get-Date).ToString() + " " + $logstring

Add-content $Logfile -value $WriteLine

}

$User = gwmi win32_computersystem -Property Username

$UserName = $User.UserName

$UserSplit = $User.UserName.Split("\")

$OneDrive = "$env:SystemDrive\users\" + $UserSplit[1] +"\appdata\local\microsoft\onedrive\onedrive.exe"

# Parameter to Log

Write-Log "Start Script Execution"

Write-Log "Logged on User: $UserName"

Write-Log "Detection-String: $OneDrive"

If(Test-Path $OneDrive)

{

Write-Log "Found DetectionFile"

$OneDriveFile = Get-Item $OneDrive

Write-Log "Get File Details"

Write-Log "Version found:$OneDriveFile.VersionInfo.FileVersion"

Write-Log "Script Exectuion End!"

Write-Log ""

Return $true

}

Else

{

Write-Log "Warning: OneDrive.exe not found - need to install App!"

}

 

 

5

 

  • Also, it's very important to set User experience like this, to make sure that the application gets installed on the user profile

6

  • Now  just deploy it into a computer collection!

Be advised that you have to sign this script or use Client settings and set the Powershell execution policy to bypass (use with caution!)

Hope this helps !

Cheers

On that article you can also find an example that you can quickly download and import to your environment to avoid copy & paste errors and to speed up the app creation

    Two questions:1. How do you force the install to default to OneDrive Business?2. How do you populate the user's Office 365 UPN so the install process is completely transparent to the user?

      Hello Joey, In this case the objective was to only deploy the client, which is the step 1 in the Onedrive deployment documentation. Please check Onedrive's remaining documentation to do all the remaining configuration. If in the future I do that in an unattended way i'll be sure to update this blog! thanks for your comment

    Hi,I made a shorter powershell. But you need more than this one you have posted from a guy based in Austria. At first, this app does not install with Admin privileges, so it must be in user context. Then, it must identify the user logged, and with System context, (I didn't test the code above but) I doubt if it can get the user logged instead of System account. Then, since this App has different builds, you must guarantee that the one you are deploying is the one you are getting "Installed" message from Software Center. At the end, if you simply run onedrivesetup.exe /silent alone from your server, probably the only thing you will get is, that onedrivesetup.exe file, copied to your ProgramFiles path. So, you must force running that setup from that path after running onedrivesetup.exe /silent alone from your server.

      Hello Tiago! thanks for the feedback! there are lots of different approaches to this kind of deployment (check Steve Rachui's blog for a different one!) for several of my customers this is working in production. And yes, version control is a great idea! and you do have to run OneDrive afterwards for the setup as mentioned! thanks! cheers

    Thank you for this post and it worked for me but was wondering what to do when a different user logs on afterward. Even the same user after logging off and back on I lose the ability to uninstall OneDrive. A new user would also show as "Installed".

      Thanks for the feedback Luc! I didn't test that scenario, but have you tried sending the deployment to a user collection ?

    Good post,What about uninstall? Standard users can install the user portion after SYSTEM has run OneDriveSetup.exe /silent... but what if I want to remove (i.e. customers testing and finally not buying).Thanks.

    Hello I have managed to setup this for ODFB. Thanks for the help but I have a problem. If push this software out it shows Past - due will be installed in software console. The problem is the software never installs it just sits there. If I manually click install button it works fine so the detection\ software is all ok just this pause and manual intervention which is a problem. I need to push it out to 1600 PC's silently.

      Hello Allen, having a group policy usually as a higher priority than everything else in SCCM, so I'm afraid that with that gpo you won't be able to run the powershell. You could however have a different detection method. thanks!

    We really want to install onedrive next gen client for every user on the same pc, but If I read correctly this script just works once per pc?does someone has a workaround for that? The only one I have read is the active setup key, but we would like to use sccm.I really do not understand that the developers don't know what a system base installation is, so frustrating.

    Thanks for the detection script. I found a more efficient and reliable way is to use the %LOCALAPPDATA% variable to check for the presence of OneDrive.exe (which caters for the case where a user has another profile directory e.g. "C:\Users\JSmith.domain" - the initial profile may have become corrupted)Replace:$User = gwmi win32_computersystem -Property Username$UserName = $User.UserName$UserSplit = $User.UserName.Split(“\”)$OneDrive = “$env:SystemDrive\users\” + $UserSplit[1] +“\appdata\local\microsoft\onedrive\onedrive.exe”with $OneDrive = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe"

      Actually - my previous suggestion works OK if you run it standalone (as I tested it) - but does not work in SCCM (it gets the system account's profile).

    It's a very nice procedure.I've got 2 questions:- How do you deal with situations where the user profile is not located in "C:\users\USERID"?- How do you deal with roaming profiles? (I can't get "OneDriveSetup.exe" to install because my roaming profile has a registry for a newer version of OneDrive. I get error "80040692" until I delete the OneDrive key in my registry.)

            Roaming profiles aren't supported:Roaming, Mandatory and Temporary Windows profiles aren't supported. The OneDrive for Business sync app only supports users who can write to OneDrive for Business application directories.https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3125202/restrictions-and-limitations-when-you-sync-files-and-folders

    here's a much shorter detection script which also works for VDI sessions$Path = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe"If (Test-Path $Path){Write-Host "$Path Exists"}
