Hey guys,

We are struggling with our Azure joined machines used by multiple people during the day. Each time they log on to a new machine we get a helpdesk call for us to set up OneDrive / Sharepoint libraries synchronization in the client.

We know Intune can do this but Intune settings can take up to 8 hrs to propagate by which the user has already called us. This takes too long.

I’ve made a support call with Microsoft which has been open for a month now with what I think is a fairly straight forward question but they keep telling me they’ re discussing this with their team.

Is there a scenario that sets these settings instantly that minimizes helpdesk calls? Or is this made for 1 user per device scenario’s? Apart from reinstating on-prem DC’s and whatnot ;)

Hope you guys can point me somewhere because Microsoft doesn’t seem to…

    This may be what you’re looking for. Treat the system like a VDI install when you’re installing things and look for “machine-wide” installers. Also consider getting FSLogix (free from Microsoft) to put user profiles in portable containers.

      Interesting article but not really what we’re looking for:

      This option is especially useful for computers with multiple users and for when you don't want executable files running from a user profile.
      Other than where the sync app is installed, the behavior is the same.
      

      It’s not the installation but the configuration that is causing trouble. FSLogix would require on-prem hardware.

        You should be using machine wide installers not user appdata installers. Are you not?
