Intune recently released the setting in the Administrative Templates to redirect known folders to OneDrive for Business.

This post will show how you can quickly configure it, and the user experience.

Login to the Intune portal https://devicemanagement.microsoft.com and create a new Device Configuration profile. Select Windows 10 and later for the platform, and Administrative Templates for the profile type.

Tip: there are many settings here. Use the search feature to make it easier.

Set the “Silently move Windows known folders to OneDrive” by selecting Enaled and enter in your Tenant ID. See below how you get the tenant ID.

To get your Tenant ID, go to Azure Active Directory, then Properties. Copy the Directory ID.

Configure the other settings such as “Silently sign in users to the OneDrive sync client with their Windows credentials”

Once you’re finished, don’t forget to assign the profile to your devices.

Here is an example of my Autopilot device applying the profile, and then the files appear on the desktop after OneDrive for Business has been configured.
