  1. -nowait Continues without the status being polled. Polling the action can slow it’s progress if lots of user emails are specified.
  2. Request-SPOPersonalSite cmdlet requests that the users specified be enqueued so that a Personal Site be created for each. The actual Personal Site is created by a Timer Job later.
  3. The command will stop if it encounters any empty strings in the array. A maximum of 200 users can be specified.
  4. The actor executing this cmdlet must be at least assigned the SharePoint Online administrator role and have been assigned a SharePoint Online license to be able to provision the OneDrive for Business sites. The users who the sites will be provisioned for must also have a SharePoint license assigned

To verify that OneDrive has been created for your users:

1. Get-SPOSite -Template "SPSPERS" -limit ALL -includepersonalsite $True | Select URL, Owner | Format-table -autosize | Out-string -width 8096 | Out-file C:\OneDriveSites.txt

2. After the command successfully completes, a text file is created in the location specified . This file contains a list of all OneDrive Urls in your organization. The following text provides an example of how the list of Urls in this file should be formatted.

 

Hopefully it can help you manage your OneDrive.
