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).
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.
And for the techies, this article has a list of all the new features.
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.
