OneDrive Sync Settings with Domain Account Roaming Profile

This question seems to have been asked in various manners online including here at TechNet but it has never actually been answered that I can find.
Home domain using Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, client is Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit with Update 1. Logged in as a domain user account with a Roaming Profile and Folder Redirection connected to a Microsoft Account.
Under PC Settings > OneDrive > Sync Settings, everything is greyed out and disabled. I wasn't too bothered about it previously however with Windows Phone 8.1 out now it means that I cannot use Tab Sync with Internet Explorer 11 on the phone.
I have a GPO which excludes the following folders from the Roaming Profile to both allow Folder Redirection to function and also to allow the OneDrive app to function: "Downloads;Pictures;My Pictures;Music;My Music;Videos;My Videos;Dropbox;SkyDrive;OneDrive"
I am using the Primary Computer attribute with a second GPO which limits profile redirection to the users primary computer.
When logging on to my Primary Computer with the Roaming Profile activated, all of the Sync Settings are disabled but on another machine which is non-primary and therefore my roaming profile does not sync, I can connect my Microsoft Account to the local
profile generated on this machine and all of the Sync Settings are available, clearly linked to the Roaming element of the profile.
Is the non-functionality of Sync Settings on domain accounts with Roaming Profiles by design or by virtue of the fact that things are trying to steer away from Roaming Profiles now? I love the Sync features but in that they don't sync everything (3rd party
Application Settings for example) there is a need for both features to exist in parallel.
There is a new section in Group Policy to limit the use of the Sync Settings features for Enterprises which wish to prevent users from using these features so I don't understand the reason for it to not function at all for anyone.

Sync settings for Domain accounts

Hello
We have a close & secured environment and we want to migrate to Windows 8.1.
one of the nice benefits Windows 8.1 has is the sync settings feature. I would love it if my users inside my corp will be able to login anywhere and get their Desktop, Tiles, Settings etc. no matter where they login from.
It is somehow overlaps with folder redirection and roaming profiles are there any new policy settings or other settings that use the same sync mechanism as the Microsoft Account+OneDrive on Windows 8.1 for domain accounts only?
like defining a network share for those settings and force the clients to sync the
If there isn't, obviously the OneDrive client which is a built-in feature on 8.1 is only a noise in the background
Thanks

Hi,
When you sync your settings with a connected account, the settings are stored in the cloud. So if you want to take the control of everything, Roaming profile and Folder Redirection would still be your choice.

Can I sync settings with multiple accounts?

I just got Creative Cloud for Teams at work, and I have to sign in to it using my work email address. If I ever leave this job and get CC for myself, or I start at another company, I won't have access to that account any more, nor will I have access to my old work computer. How can I carry over to a new account all my settings from the CC apps that support Sync Settings?

The short answer I received from Adobe was to log in at home using my work account info, open the programs, then log out and back in with my home credentials and save my settings. I was a little worried that would be a violation of some policy, they they assured me it was not, at least in my case. Here's the script:
Thank you for contacting Adobe.
A representative will be with you shortly.

You are now chatting with 'Rajesh Joshi'
RICHARD VALENTINE: Hi Rajesh.
Rajesh Joshi: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Rajesh Joshi: How are you doing today?
RICHARD VALENTINE: I'm doing well. Thank you.
Rajesh Joshi: So how may i assist you today?
RICHARD VALENTINE: I utilize Adobe CC at work as a Team Member, and also at home (personal account). Is there any way to sync my workspaces automatically? I know Adobe Premiere CC has an option for this when syncing, but I don't see this option on any other CC product. Thanks!
Rajesh Joshi: So are you looking to Sync the files that you have?
RICHARD VALENTINE: I need to sync my workspaces from work, with my home computer, but they are two different CC accounts.
RICHARD VALENTINE: My work computer is an Adobe Teams account, my home computer is my private adobe CC members account.
Rajesh Joshi: May i know about both the cc accounts?
RICHARD VALENTINE: my work account is registered to [email protected]
RICHARD VALENTINE: My home account is registered to [email protected]
Rajesh Joshi: Ok so you have two different CC account, one is team and one is admin and you want to sync the files between them.
Rajesh Joshi: Is that correct?
RICHARD VALENTINE: Yes.
Rajesh Joshi: Please allow me a moment while I look into your account & verify the details.
RICHARD VALENTINE: Thank you.
Rajesh Joshi: Your welcome
RICHARD VALENTINE: I was thinking I could log in at home with my work ID, and import the settings, then log out and back in with my personal account and save the workspaces and settings, though I wanted to make sure I am not violating any Adobe CC policies by doing that.
Rajesh Joshi: Richard you can use your team account on two machines and its under the adobe policies.
RICHARD VALENTINE: Awesome. Thank you!
Rajesh Joshi: Your welcome, so it seems that you have got the answer for the question that you had.
RICHARD VALENTINE: Yes.. Thank you!
Rajesh Joshi: So anything else i may assist you with?
RICHARD VALENTINE: That's all. Thank you.

I want to SHARE Sync Settings with my Family Members, How Can I Share Some of My Settings with Them.

I want to SHARE Sync Settings with my Family Members & Friends, How Can I Share Some of My Settings like tabs, bookmarks, browser extension with them. Also it is obvious I would not like to share my Passwords. Can you please help. This feature "Sharing with Friends & Family Members" is functional in 'XMARKS Sync'.

All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID, nor can they be updated using any ID other than the ID used to originally obtain them.

Photoshop CC 2014.2.1 can't sync settings with Creative Cloud

Good day,
Photoshop CC 2014.2.1 can't sync settings with Creative Cloud for some reason. I'm signed in, no firewalls, the router is fine. Other apps, Premiere Pro for example, sync without issues.
Photoshop keeps saying "Connecting to Creative Cloud..." with uploads starting, but nothing is happening. I've left it in this state for an hour just in case. Is there a workaround or a fix?

For what it's worth I have access to a second computer with the correct sync settings (which I synced to the Cloud, so the Cloud should now have my desired sync settings), but PS on my first computer still refuses to show anyway to apply these settings.
I'm downloading the 2014 release now but it shouldn't really be necessary. This is so frustrating, especially when the Adobe PS sync help page only applies to the 2014 release (I can't find any sync help for the previous versions anymore).

Sync settings with Creative Cloud

Sooo .... I drank the cool aid and subscribed to CC - If anything just to look at how it works and how it helps ME.
I have been a PS user since 2006 and while I'm not a professional artist I am a very keen photographer. Additionally, I can still pull out and the first year trial is relatively affordable for a CS6 user.
My question is this:
Once I signed up I reloaded CS6 from the CC product options. I then checked for updates and it reloaded some updates. So how do I know I have the CC version? The System Info states that I have Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.1.2 (13.1.2 20130105.r.224 2013/01/05:23:00:00) x64.
The reason I ask is that I saw an interesting blog item on syncing settings with the CC Cloud. When I checked my CS6 menu, I did not have the Sync option. I am thinking that this may not be the correct way to update my in-place installed version of CS6 to the more current version of CC CS6.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

Does this mean if I have the Ps CS6 as a single-app plan under CC program I will be able to sync come June 17?
As it stands now I can't see how to sync smart collections, keywords, etc.

Strange behavior of system with enabled FileVault2, Roaming profile

Hello,
I have encountered strange behavor of my Macbook Air after some testing.
Macbook Air 2012 was newly installed with 10.8.4 and joined network account server on 10.8.4 server with Roaming profile (synced with server home directory). After installing some basic apps like iWork I turned on FileVault.
Then I start to have the strange behavior - iWorks are not displaying content of document - it seams blank - just white screen without any borders where should be at least lines in numbers or empty cells.
Another display problem is in Safari. On same pages (even default Top SItes) it`s flashing and especially when scrolling.
Did you encountered something similar? I`m not able to get rid of it.
Computers was used for some time before turining on FIle Vault and problem started to occur after this action. Disabling of FileVault didn`t helped (properly restarted between steps).
I didn`t found anything strange in Console or elsewhere..

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Best approche with domain account and Microsoft account?

HI,
We presently try Windows 8.1 in my company. And we have a user/domain account, and this is perfect. Now I discovers we can sync/connect with a Microsoft account. I try to connect to a "business" Microsoft account. But if I do that I can't use Skype
with my personal account !
So my real question is when we use a domain account when we connect to a Microsoft Account, best utilization is to use our personal or a business Microsoft account?
And if I use a business account, how I can use Skype with my personal account?
Eric

This is an issue.
Linking the domain account to one online account is not something I am happy about at all. We need more flexibility around account settings please.
S. O'Neill,
Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am hoping to migrate our company from an in house SBS server to Office 365, I had expected that this issue would have been resolved by the Office 365 account also being a Microsoft Account. But I
have since learned that this is not the case, and for at least one good reason. Windows Store App licenses and payment information is linked to the Microsoft Account.
Please consider a small business of 50 to 100 users using Office 365 Enterprise where Users stay in the company between 1 to 3 years.
Not all staff joining the company would have a personal Microsoft Account, and even if the User did have a personal Microsoft Account, as the User's computer is a company asset, the company cannot violate the user's privacy by having the User use their own
Microsoft Account. And the company cannot risk the security implications of having the User's personal Microsoft account connected to their corporate computer and network.
The company IT department could create company owned Microsoft accounts for each User as well as Office 365 User accounts. And when a User leaves, log into the User's company Microsoft Account and check to ensure that the user has not placed any company
records on their Microsoft Account's OneDrive before deleting their User account. It will also mean deleting and creating a new Microsoft Account each time a User leaves the company and their replacement is hired.
However there is an issue here when the IT Department deletes the Microsoft Account the company looses the license for any software that they have purchased for the user.
So far the only solution I have been able to determine is to create company "role" based Microsoft Accounts and Office 365 accounts, then use Email Aliases to manage a personalised email address for any user working in that "role". For example we would have
roles "CEO", "Business.Manager", "Finance.Manager", "Finance.Assistant_1", "Communications.Office", "Marketing.Manager", "Sales.Rep_1", etc.
I understand that Enterprise organisations do not use Microsoft Accounts at all, but use Side-loading administered from an AD server to manage Windows Store Apps.
I would very much like to hear how companies are managing the issues caused by Microsoft Accounts, including the issue of there being two OneDrives, a Microsoft Account OneDrive and an Office 365 OneDrive for Business.

Help! How to migrate local account settings to domain account in Windows 8.1 Pro

All kinds of answers to this question come up for Windows 7 (even though I specify Windows 8.1 Pro)
Anyway, have a laptop originally with Win 8.1 and a local account created. Upgraded to Win 8.1 Pro and logged in as domain user. How can I copy all the settings I had as a local account to my domain account? Surely SOMEONE has found a way
to do this?

Hi,
You can use USMT to achive your goals. However, I doubt whether you would encounter some problem, as domain controller would set some restricted settings and some policy of your local account won't be applied.
To know more about USMT, please refer to the link below:

How do I use long path names ("\\?\UNC\...") with Server 2008 roaming profiles?

Hey folks!
I administrate a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Domain with about 40 users on
Windows 7 SP1 clients. Because the users often switch between the many PCs, I am using Roaming Profiles which tend to produce errors with different application-specific paths and files inside the users profiles.
As one of many example, our standard mail application Thunderbird produces paths and files according to folders/subfolders and mails in a user's mailbox. Another one is Microsoft Office's Auto Recovery files which reside in a user's profile and can
get very long.
These paths and filenames often extend the allowed max. path of about 256 characters, when (on log on or off) the synchronization process between the client and the server takes place, leading to errors in the event log and a notification to the user about
the conflict:
"Event ID 1509 - Windows cannot copy file \\server\share\users\user123.v2\AppData\Roaming\looooong to location C:\Users\user123\AppData\Roaming\looooong. DETAIL - The filename or extension is too long."
In the long run this leads to different file versions on different clients which - in the case of Thunderbird - leads to missing mails.
After extensive searches and lectures of forums - including this - I haven't found a solution for this problem.
So my question is if there's a way to use the extended max path with roaming profiles and if so how do I get it to work?
I tried changing the profile path of a test user in the Active Directory user preferences from "\\server\share\profiles\test_user" to something like "\\?\UNC\server\share\profiles\test_user" without any changes in the system's behavior.
Also I think that because this is such a fundamental problem somebody must have come up with a solution for it...
Thanks in advance,
Nico

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
The Event 1509 can happen if the destination path of the users profile is on a server with a long name and share folder name. For detail information, please refer to:
User profile cannot be loaded with Event ID 1509, DETAIL - The filename or extension is too long
http://blogs.technet.com/b/win7/archive/2011/02/15/user-profile-cannot-be-loaded-with-event-id-1509-detail-the-filename-or-extension-is-too-long.aspx

7310 - Problem with CIFS and Roaming Profiles since upgrade to 2010.Q1.0.2

We have developed a strange problem with our environment which I'm pretty sure is down to the upgrade to 2010.Q1.0.2 from 2009.Q3.4.1 on our 7310 (all the previous 2009 releases had been fine) since nothing else has changed in our environment. I suspect some changes to the underlying CIFS server causing this?
We have virtual Windows servers hosted on a VMWare VSphere cluster which are stored on the 7310 via iSCSI LUNs and also CIFS shares on the 7310 for home directories and separate CIFS shares for roaming profiles - all paths are correct in AD for each user - we also use folder redirection for XP Pro clients to force things like "Application Data", "My Documents" etc. onto the Homedir share.
What we've been seeing recently (which only started happening after the upgrade) is a lot of failed logons to the domain for users. It looks like the usual corrupted profile problem that has plagued Windows forever ...the usual messages that it cannot log the user on with a copy of their roaming profile, and that it will use a temporary one. Some folder redirections (that are initiated via Group Policy) also don't get applied. Users don't see errors when logging off from a "good" profile, and NTUSER.DAT etc. seemingly gets written correctly - the next time they log on, around half the time the users will get these errors as described below:
Event viewer logs show "cannot find the file specified" errors for NTUSER.DAT, along with "directory name is invalid" errors for some of the folder redirections.
More worrying (and what I think might be the real reason for these failures) are the "offline caching is enabled on the roaming profile share" errors. I think that the client-side caching might not be working - possibly the profiles aren't getting flushed and written correctly upon logout?
Now, unfortunately the MMC snap-in for managing shares doesn't seem to support changing the behaviour for client-side caching on the CIFS shares (as confirmed in the latest 7000-series Admin Guide on page 198).
I've been thinking about unchecking the "Enable Oplocks" box which from the CIFS side would completely stop all client-side caching I presume?
Is this likely to be the culprit here, or is there any other known behaviour that could be causing these errors? Is it also worth disabling "Cache device usage" altogether for the Profiles share itself?
Can anyone help? It's a bit of a strange problem, and something I don't want to raise with Sun on our support contract just yet, since at first glance it looks like a Windows problem, but I suspect the storage could well be to blame...

Unfortunately, this is still not working correctly...
So, it looks like it's not related to the offline caching seeing as it all works on the Q2009 despite the warnings...
Some more errors coming out of userenv.log on the affected Windows machines:
USERENV(280.284) 10:07:33:230 ReconcileFile: GetFileAttributes on the source failed with error = 2
USERENV(280.284) 10:07:33:230 CopyProfileDirectoryEx: ReconcileFile failed with error = 2
and later:
USERENV(280.284) 10:07:33:245 GetShareName: WNetGetConnection initially returned error 2250
USERENV(280.284) 10:07:33:245 CopyProfileDirectoryEx: Leaving with a return value of 0
USERENV(280.284) 10:07:33:245 RestoreUserProfile: CopyProfileDirectory failed. Issuing default profile
...which then forces the TEMP profiles.
All other errors linked to this look like "file not found", "invalid path" etc. when the files are present and the paths are correct.
Manually mapping drives using CIFS with UNC paths sporadically fails too now. We have a bunch of GPOs that map shares to users depending on their group memberships - these too are sporadically failing.
It certainly looks to me like it could be a CIFS problem introduced in the Q2010 release.
I'm going to raise a ticket with Sun...

Yoga 2 Pro - Veriface doesnt work with Domain Account

I have a Yoga 2 Pro and I can get Veirface to work fine with a local account but it will not work with a Domain Account. I can get it to where it prompts me for the Domain Account Password (as it should the 1st time) but when you enetr the proper password, it tells you ints invalid etc. I have tried changing the Domain Password but it acts like it just cant locate the account etc. Does anyone know if this is a known issue or if there is a resolution to this?
I am using Veriface 5.0.13.5261 on a Windows 8.1 Pro Operating System

Hi there, i had the same problem.
I have two accounts
1. valentia\mubi (which is domain account)
2. Mubi (which is local laptop account)
When i use register my account with veriface, it work fine with Mubi
When i use to register my account with valentia\mubi it say wrong password..
I even deleted local i.e. Mubi account but still no luck!
This is great feature, but pretty much useless if not working with domain. I have to use domain account,

Not able to login with domain account on Win10 Enterprise build 10049

On my Windows 10 Enterprise technical preview machine (build 10049), it locked out after inactivity and now only offers the option to login with "Other user". On this screen, it only seems to want a Microsoft account, although if I enter a valid
Microsoft account it says the password is wrong. It won't accept a domain account, and it does not seem to offer any way to switch to the normal domain login screen.
I am locked out of the PC and unable to use it. When I reboot, it goes back to the same login screen.
Help!

Hi,
Is the system joined to a domain? If a machine is joined to a domain, then after restart, the domain name should be displayed under "Other User" even though it doesn't display other user accounts. See snapshot below:
And for domain account, please make sure to type the format as domain\username
While if you have other local user account, then I recommend you login to that user acocunt (format as .\localusername) check the system info and check the policy below:
Local Security Policy\Local Policies\Security policies\Interactive logon: Do not display the last user name, it should be "Not configured" or "Disabled".

Syncing iWork with 2 accounts?

Hi everyone!
Thanks in advance for the help! Here is my problem-
I have two Apple ID's. One of these I have always used, and have a bunch of things stored. The other ID, is my school ID. We got iPad's at our school, and the state gave us Apple ID's. I am not the biggest fan of typing on an iPad, so I wanted to do most of it on my computer. The problem is, is that I don't want to completely delete my school ID from my school iPad, I want the documents to be synced with both accounts.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't share documents between accounts per se, but you can share a document with yourself via mail or message (just tap the share icon on your iPad) or you could log into your school account in your browser at iCloud.com and work on your document there.
