Limit your OneDrive for Business accounts to domain PC’s only

Today, Microsoft announced an exciting feature which is still rather limited, but a start of something nice.

Administrators can enforce security on OneDrive for Business, ensuring that their licensed business users can only sync their OneDrive account on a domain joined computer. Users will be unable to sync their OneDrive library on their personal, unsecured and unmanaged device.

Let’s hope this is soon extended to Windows 10 Azure Workplace Joined devices and any other devices that have been WorkPlace joined (Android, Apple, Windows 7+, Windows Phone).

SCCM Updated for Intune and Windows 10

If you’re using System Center Configuration Manager 2012 and have integrated it with Intune or are planning to pilot Windows 10, this is the time to update your hierarchy!

I’ve been stumped and irritated several times by the flimsy integration between SCCM and Intune, seems I wasn’t the only one. Both products have such a huge potential! With the service pack that was just released, this seems to be changing, read all about it in this blogpost by Microsoft’s Brad Anderson.

OneDriveMapper V1.8 released

Version 1.8 of OneDriveMapper will now automatically detect your OneDrive URL, instead of using your login name. This is useful in scenario’s where someone’s username changes. Microsoft does not change the OneDrive for business URL when the username changes, which would cause mappings made based on the login to fail. This often happened when IT staff changed a usename because a user got married.

The login detection and process has also been made more efficient, and broken driveletters are now automatically deleted.

I often hear customers who run an onpremises Exchange 2010 or 2013 environment in Hybrid mode with Office 365 complain about their Shared Mailboxes not appearing in Office 365 when using AADSync (or AADConnect).

This is important for mail routing if they don’t exist as contacts, or if you are using Exchange Online Protection for these mailboxes.

So, two quick steps to configure AADSync to also sync disabled users to Office 365. Continue reading Sync disabled users (shared mailboxes) to Office 365 with Azure Active Directory Sync
