Shared PC mode seems to block Onedrive

Question

_{Monday, November 19, 2018 7:13 PM}

Hi, I want to use Shared PC Mode on the park posts in Win 10 educational version 1709 and over, connected with the AD. With the Windows Configuration Designer, i create a provisioning package with the EnableSharedPCmode, and i applied it on test PC. It works well except when a user is logged in to his session, Onedrive does not run. Even, if the user tries to start it manually, OneDrive does not want to open. So, shared PC mode seems to block Onedrive. Is there a possible configuration, to run Onedrive with this mode.

Thank you in advance for your help.

c. set DisableFileSyncNGSC's value to 0. (If cannot find this path, continue to 2)

3. Check group policy

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I try this, but same thing happens. One drive works perfectly on the PC before i EnableSharedPCmode. Onedrive.exe don't start when EnableSharedPCmode is on. 

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

As far as I know, One Drive cannot be blocked in Shared PC mode.

1. Try to uninstall the One Drive, and download it from here: https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/download/

2. Check and install the latest update.

Best regards,

Why is this the case though? Wouldn't you think a sharedPC is a perfect use case for using onedrive?

I want to setup PC's with sharedPCmode and auto wiping the profile. Then force users to use onedrive to store their files so it can follow them. With on-demand files turned on it won't waste time syncing up and down all the time. It would be perfect! 

Thanks,

Chris

I agree this makes the mode nearly unusable in a environment that has moved to OneDrive for storage.
