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.

  • 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.

  • S4 Sync settings for email no longer available after update

    After the Verizon Galaxy S4 Kit Kat update: I can no longer sync my email accounts. I get a "email sync turned off" message. when I go to the SYNC settings (stttings-accounts-email-settings-account settings-sync settings) there is NO option to turn sync setting back "ON"

        Hello hdlane, let's get to the bottom of this together! To turn on sync settings for email, scroll down from the top of the home screen. At the top right there is a button with three squares & two arrows facing in opposite directions. This is the "More Settings" section. Press this option and it iwill open a list. Near the bottom of the list turn on sync and the emails will update.

  • ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

    Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
    Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
    But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
    All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
    Environment:
    - MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
    - Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

    Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
    What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
    Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
    If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

  • When I open TB, under "Accounts", it only shows the option "Create a new account". Option: "View settings for this account" is NOT shown.

    When I open TB, I no longer see any information about the TB account I've used for years. Instead, the main menu shows only "Accounts" -- "Create a new account - Email, Chat, Newsgroups, Feeds". Option: "View settings for this account" is NOT shown.
    Also the main menu does NOT show "Email - Read messages, Write a New Message" or "Advanced features", etc..
    The actual emails pertaining to the TB account I've used for years are still present under the "Users --> xxxxyyyy --> AppData --> Roaming --> Thunderbird' folder.

  • Yoga 2 Pro - Win 8.1 x64 Pro - VeriFace doesn't work for Domain accounts

    First - Lenovo's own tech support team seems completely unprepared for this product.  There are no install packages online for anything but core drivers and the support teams really don't know much about the custom Lenovo software like VeriFace.  Not bashing, just a disappointing reality.  I'm hearing Lenovo does this all the time and that in a few months, stuff will appear.  Great.
    REAL issue: VeriFace won't work for Domain accounts.  Pure and simple.  I'm a geek, so I know the right account name shows up at the lock screen.  When I type in the password, it says Incorrect.  If I use a local account, bingo, works perfectly.  I Googled some notes back in 2008/2009 where some people found a work-around by creating a local account with the same login name (obviously without the "domain\" part) to trick VeriFace.  I tried it and it didn't work.
    Can anyone else confirm this?
    p.s. I tried uninstalling / reinstalling and you DON'T want to do that.  See my first point.  You can't re-install b/c the software ONLY exists in the hidden reset partition in OneKey Recovery.  You have to completely reset your PC in order to get it back.

    Confirmed. I even tried this trick, but this did not work for me

  • Configuration settings for Contract account create\change\display transacti

    Hello all,
    Does any one know IMG path for settings for contract account related activities (Tcode - caa1\caa2\caa3). We have 2 systems of SAP ISU. One system shows various fields blocks under 'General data' tab like 'Account management data', 'contract account remarks', 'invoicing', 'associated work activity' while other system only shows 'Account management data' and 'associated work activity'  that too with very less no of fields in there.
    Is it because of any functional settings through IMG or is there any other reason?
    Regards,
    Abhi

    Hi ,
    In IMG there is a setting where in you can make settings for the fields of activities like contract account create , change , display .

  • Different sync settings for 2 aTVs from 1 iTunes library

    Is it possible to have separate sync settings for 2 different aTVs using the same itunes library?
    I'd like to view movies and TV shows only from the aTV in my bedroom but I'd like to see all my iTunes content on the aTV in my den? Is this possible without streaming? Can the iTunes library sync one way with the den aTV and a different way with the bedroom aTV?

    Yes, absolutely.

    Your only limitation here would be the size of the tv HDD, if your library is larger than the space on the tv drive then you will need to stream some content.

  • How to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise

    how to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise?

    There are no settings to change. Assuming you are using Lion 10.7.2 (or 10.7.3) - which you should be - you simply sign in in System Preferences>iCloud and check 'Contacts' and any other data you want to sync.
    If you are using an earlier system you will not be able to sync your contacts, and there is no workaround. However you can sync them with Google or Yahoo contacts, though I don't know how well this works.

  • If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, laptop and android, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?

    If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, between my Windows XP laptop and android phone, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?
    For example, if i add a password manager add-on to my PC, will that same add-on go onto my phone? Or will i have to separately add it again to my phone?
    If I do have to add it separately, then what exactly IS the add-on syncing doing?

    hmmm... i have no idea what the "install.rdf file" of an extension) is? or how to check that?
    thanks!

  • Sync settings for podcasts.

    Hi. Could someone please tell me the correct sync settings for podcasts. I listen to them on the iPhone and when I sync, instead of deleting they are all marked as unread. Should I sync "all" (assuming that between the iPhone and the iMac, they will sort out has been read), "unread" so that only the unread ones are left untouched, or "new" so the previous ones are left untouched and marked as unread. I sometimes have quite a backlog and it is a drag going through them all to find the ones that I have already heard.
    Thanks.

    I just deleted on the iPhone some of the ones I had heard. I then did a sync and lo and behold, the episodes were back on the iPhone.
    So, I understand this is not a two-way sync. The iMac copies to the iPhone and any intervention on the phone does not seem to make a difference.
    My setting in itunes are default setting for all podcasts (keep all unplayed episodes).
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you

  • 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:

  • 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.

    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.
