When you’re considering a move to Office 365, there are many things you need to take into account. Mail migration strategy, voice, DNS configuration, Sharepoint Online, and more and more: Onedrive for Business.
Now that OneDrive for Business allows unlimited cloud storage for your Office 365 users, there is no real reason left to leave their homedirectories on your expensive local storage. The choice is simple, but getting their data to Onedrive for Business is not.
You basically have three choices:
- Let users move their own data (not very friendly, errorprone)
- Use expensive tooling (only does part of the job)
- Do it manually (provision, set rights, cleanup data, upload data)
I’m thinking about adjusting O365Uploader to automatically do all of the following:
3. Scan for and correct any issues in their homefolders before uploading
4. Upload their data
Stay tuned!
I am working with school districts in the south eastern part of the US. Many want to map their student’s One Drive. Your script is doing that great, but when students access a word document or any file that launches an Office product they are prompted again for credentials. We do not wish to do this since students roam to many computers. Do you know if that can be turned off so Office products will just open the files directly from the mapped OneDrive without having to enter additional credentials ?
Thanks
HI,
I started to read this article, and waiting for Part 4 🙂 . I would like to remove the “Share with everyone” folder for all users, and populate their OneDrive for business with a folder.
