Recently I wrote a small (login) script to automatically configure the Next Generation Onedrive for Business client with the proper tenant and no user interaction (except for a one-time login). This reduces user impact when migrating to Onedrive for Business.
This is the first post in a series about moving to Onedrive for Business and/or Sharepoint Online from traditional fileshares and/or homedirectories, in bulk, without user interaction.
The first public version of the O365Datacleaner has been released.
This script can make any given path to a folder/fileshare fully compliant with Onedrive for Business or Sharepoint Online standards, without user interaction. Including path depth resolution and intelligent renaming or moving of files and folders.
A bulk version of this tool is available for free upon request and will also be posted later.
Managing permissions on your user’s Onedrive for Business storage is a chore, there is no direct interface to do this in bulk, nor is the interface very easy to find. Plenty of articles explain how to do this for ONE user through the GUI, but few explain how to do this in bulk for several users at once.
And when you’re migrating, for example, hundreds or thousands of homedirectories to Onedrive For Business, you’ll want to automate setting permissions on all these users in bulk.
