Deploying OneDrive Sync
Michael Blumenthal discusses deploying the OneDrive sync client to 60,000 users. It requires a team effort across various roles like project management, change management, desktop management, and more. Key aspects of deployment include configuring the first run experience, known folder move functionality, update channels, and overcoming challenges such as regulatory approvals, firewall issues, and existing configurations. Success requires completing the first run experience and setting up known folder move properly. Reporting functionality is limited but growing. Resources for support include the Sync Up podcast and Microsoft documentation.
