Because Microsoft does not support this functionality on Windows Server 2016. Some customers want to choose what they sync from OneDrive to the system. The installation and OneDrive files are now in the Office 365 container! So, with FSLogix our last problem is solved. Right now, there is no other way to do this except for creating a massive roaming profile or reinstalling and then redownload all files each sign in. When the user signs out the VHD is detached and everything is stored on a file share.
Also FSLogix makes sure that the user won’t get asked for credentials again if you use ADFS and AzureAD. It fixes the integration with Windows Explorer so recently used items and green checks are present. If a user signs in the VHD gets attached (which is blazing fast) and the files and installation are immediately available for the user. FSLogix Office 365 Container and OneDrive clientįSLogix Office 365 Containers creates a VHD file per user on a file share and stores the OneDrive client and the users OneDrive files into the VHD. As a bonus this blog includes an Ivanti Workspace Control (RES ONE Workspace) building block which will silently run the script at sign. If not, it will silently install the OneDrive client. One FSLogix Office 365 Containers, and two a script that will check if OneDrive client is installed. Choose what to sync to the system from OneDrive if needed.Stop asking for password to the user every time they sign in.Capture the installation of OneDrive and add the files in OneDrive to the profile.Check if the installation is already present and start up the client.Install OneDrive for every user who signs into the system once.So, to use the OneDrive Client on Windows Server 2016 we need to solve a few problems first:
Now we run into the next problem the OneDrive client will install itself into the user profile and not like any normal program into “C:\Program Files”. But luckily we can download the normal OneDrive client from Microsoft website here. After installing Office ProPlus, you do get the OneDrive for Business client but that client isn’t as feature rich as the normal OneDrive client.
You might notice there is no OneDrive client in Windows Server 2016. You can now install OneDrive in the program files folder with /allusers switch.
