11/12/2019, 11:05 AMYep, laptop estate 😲
James Rankin
11/12/2019, 11:05 AMBecause the OneDrive folder is part of the profile, I think this might cause it to go mental.....but not sure

11/12/2019, 11:07 AMYou just broke my brain!

11/12/2019, 11:11 AMClient has a G: drive currently where they store the %APPDATA% folder, a bunch of other redirected folders, and all the user's documents as well. They want to move all of this to OneDrive instead. So I'm trying to work out the best way of doing this - obviously FSLogix would have many benefits, but deciding what should go where is the weird bit......

11/12/2019, 11:13 AMSounds cool. If my brain is up to it I'll have a play later. I feel a presentation coming.

James Rankin
11/12/2019, 11:17 AMYeah I'm going to have a faff with it too, if I can get myself a spare minute

11/12/2019, 11:33 AMDoes the user really need to roam the entirety of their profile?
j
James Rankin
11/12/2019, 11:42 AMNot really but they want to roam Cookies, Recent Items, History and various other bits within the OneDrive section - wonder if I could just redirect those locally to OneDrive? Or would that cause it to go mental too? I just thought about the whole profile because it might be easier - not sure it is though

11/12/2019, 11:47 AMWindows 10 Enterprise edition? If so, use UE-V
j
James Rankin
11/12/2019, 11:59 AMSo use OneDrive for data and UE-V to spaff their config settings out to the OneDrive folder?
j
Jarian Gibson
11/12/2019, 12:11 PMYep that sounds like a good idea for UE-V for settings. Also OneDrive already has an option to backup documents, downloads, etc.

11/12/2019, 1:07 PMYou can specify a custom location for the OneDrive cache, I'm not sure if this can be outside of the user profile. This might be doable now there is a Onedrive system wide installer? (just off the top of my head)
Phil Lawson
11/12/2019, 1:11 PMAlso - your OneDrive is stored (ala Sharepoint) on a SQL DB - It's designed as file storage, MS can send 'backoffs' if the comms are too chatty.
Phil Lawson
11/12/2019, 1:13 PMalso is the cloud cache feature not a better place to host this (i suppose OneDrive is a free chunk of storage though) It would be better if you could somehow leverage the Onedrive storage utilizing Cloud cache.
j
James Rankin
11/12/2019, 1:17 PMKey requirement for the client is decommission their storage and move everything to OneDrive (which they're already paying for)

11/12/2019, 1:21 PMFileDirector would be the better weapon of choice 😉
j
James Rankin
11/12/2019, 1:23 PMThat would involve paying money 🙂 not an option

11/13/2019, 9:20 AMHow'd you get on with this James?
j
James Rankin
11/13/2019, 10:03 AMI didn't, yet 🙂
l
Leee Jeffries
11/13/2019, 10:04 AMOkay cool, so as I understand it. You want the profile disk to be stored inside the OneDrive? So we'll not redirect the OneDrive and instead simply have OneDrive login and sync?
j
James Rankin
11/13/2019, 10:17 AMyeah, the key is they want to use OneDrive for all the storage
l
Leee Jeffries
11/13/2019, 10:18 AMI see.... wont the containers be quite large?
Leee Jeffries
11/13/2019, 10:18 AMreading from the top again
j
James Rankin
11/13/2019, 10:19 AMI've seen some big ones but 100GB or so seems to have been the biggest

Leee Jeffries
11/13/2019, 10:20 AMI need to draw some pictures I think, this feels a little like inception.
j
James Rankin
11/13/2019, 10:21 AMha

Leee Jeffries
11/13/2019, 1:13 PMI am pretty sure sure storing the whole profile wont work just a bit of testing.
Leee Jeffries
11/13/2019, 1:14 PMfrom*
Leee Jeffries
11/13/2019, 1:15 PMI did put some redirection rules in place to put certain things in OneDrive, that works fine.
j
James Rankin
11/13/2019, 1:29 PMYeah OneDrive folder is in the profile, so I reckon that would send it into some sort of vortex
l
Leee Jeffries
11/13/2019, 1:36 PMI tried placing the VHD file in OneDrive which is okay but on my second logon it didn't attach. I think this gets messy with files on demand
j
Jarian Gibson
11/13/2019, 1:57 PMYep timing issues
l
Leee Jeffries
11/13/2019, 1:59 PMMakes sense, a profile with a profile container in it. lol
