Spaces and other punctuation are not permitted. Also, if your ideal domain name is taken, you can try a few things to get around that:

Search other extensions. All domain names have an extension like “.com” or “.net” or “.org”, amongst hundreds of others. While “.com” is seen as the original and therefore generally perceived as the most trustworthy amongst internet users, you can pretty much pick whatever extension you want. If possible, try and get a .com domain though.
You can add small words to the front or end of the domain. Try inserting words like “my”, “the”, “best”, “top”, “online” or “all” to your domain. Hopefully you’ll arrive at a word combination for your domain that is available to register.
Remember that dashes (-) are OK to use in domain names. So you could try and get jenns-blog.com or something similar, Visit https://www.hostt.com/ for more

I know kind of defeats the purpose, but I am asked to look into it.

Hi, really interested if you found a way around this other than limiting SharePoint to web only on unmanaged devices.

In our company we have a mix of Active Directory domain computers and Azure AD joined machines. As soon as we activated this setting OneDrive stopped working on the Azure AD computers, worked fine on domain computers, but the Azure AD clients stopped. Have anyone successfully deployed a CA rule to enforce that OneDrive only works on Corporate managed machines ?

Anyone had experience “Your organisation doesn’t allow you to sync your personal onedrive on this computer”?

I did go through the step from article in here however there’s no DisablePersonSync.

Appreicate if someone could advice on it.

Thank you so much.

Looks like I was able to shut down OneDrive and remove a settings directory:
rm -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/OneDrive/settings/Business1

and restart, and then setup a personal account.

While testing, I also deleted the OneDrive synced directory (in my user folder), and some OneDrive plist files in my ~/Library/Preference, so I’m not sure what was the complete trigger.

I’ve tried deleting the OneDrive item from
System Preferences | Users & Groups | Login Items,
but it keeps reinserting itself, and then launching at start up only to endless tell me it can’t sync.

OK, fine, block me from syncing, but let me get into the client far enough to unlink OneDrive on the Mac from my domain account, and at the very least, don’t force auto-start an account with “sync problems.”

I have a PC that is joined to the domain that cannot download or sync onedrive or sharepoint files.
I have a PC NOT joined to any domain that CAN download or sync onedrive or sharepoint files.
Both PC’s logged into Office 365 using the same account details (global admin, myself)

Also, If I refresh my browser page (F5) this restriction is added, then removed, in other words its toggled on/off. This is happening on both IE and chrome.

Have you any ideas what could be going on ?

I implemented this recently and probably locked out the whole group. AM I correct in assuming that the GUID I need to add is from your AD on-prem if you’re in a hybrid environment? I used the Directory ID in Azure which is why my users were locked out. Could you please clarify this?

Hi Paul,

Because we are talking about VDI’s, I assume that you have total control over all policies, applications and settings.

In that case you just remove the OneDrive client from the VDI or disable it.
This way you cannot sync the data because you will not give access to the OneDrive Sync client.
You can use group policies for OneDrive, you can use applocker, remove the start of OneDrive in the registry, remove the application completely, etc. So many ways to do so.

If you are looking for a good solution in the future to sync OneDrive data to VDI’s, take a look at FSLogics which is part of Microsoft now. It can also be used for ost files for caching exchange data for Outlook.

Hope this helps.
