Chris Twiest: Hello, and welcome by the search
virtual desktop TechTarget how to instructional
video. In this instructional video, I will show
you how to install the one drive per machine
client. And I will give a demo on how a user will
experience the one drive per machine. My name is
Chris Twiest, and I'm going to take you through
the steps.
So first up, I want to show you this web page, you
can just search for it on Google or you can follow
the link in the article. You can search for as one
drive per machine, you'll find all the
documentation about the one drive per machine. So
we want to install this one drive per machine on
this server. The server you see here is a Windows
2019 RDServer. And as you can see in this study
menu, there is no one drive client available. I'm
currently signing as a domain admin so I got
installation rights on this machine. So first
thing we need to do is download the one drive
setup. You find this by just googling one drive
setup, and it will take you to this page. It's
important that don't click on start one drive but
click on Click here to download. Save the OneDrive
file so don't run it and open the folder. We can
now close the web browser.
Here I got the one drive setup.xe. What you now
have to do is open a command prompt. So we took on
the Search icon and type in CMD right mouse click
on command prompt and choose run as administrator.
Now we need to Browse to the OneDrive setup. and
easy way to do this is hold your shift key, right
mouse click on the OneDrive setup, and then choose
Copy as path, then go to the command prompt. And
to paste it press the right mouse. Now we have the
path to the setup. And all we need to do now is at
all users over. Now press Enter the installation
will start. I would just want to give you a quick
background on what's going to happen. So usually
one One Drive is installed. It is installed in the
update of the user that is signing in. So each
user will have a one driver installation in their
profile. This means that every new user that's
signing into a terminal server needs to start the
installation and installation files will become
part of their profile. That's not ideal in a
situation where you want to have multiple users on
a machine. So in RDS, or WPD, or Citrix or VM,
wherever you want to have multiple users on a
machine, you just want them to sign in and have
one guy from Instagram, even if you're using VDI.
So you have one use per machine, it can be easier
that when a user signs in, they don't have to do
the whole installation in their profile. It's just
that so even in a VDI solution is also a good way
to do this setup. This will save Of course,
signing speed. So I know on the server 2019
machine, it's an RDS machine. I got the command
line ready, and I'm going to start the
installation by pressing Enter.
See the OneDrive set up is starting. One thing we
can see after the setup is finished is that if we
go to this PC, and we go to the C drive, and we go
to the program files x86 you can see there is a
One Drive folder now created here. So the OneDrive
setup is here. For now look at my stock menu, I
can see that I got one drive as an icon. If I
click on Open File Location, and I inspect the
shortcut, you will see the shortcut starts the one
drive said the one drive program from the Program
Files folder, which is better. So how does this
work as a user? Well, let's sign it as a normal
domain user on this machine. So this my IDS
machine, I'm now signing in as a normal user. And
here I am. I got my normal user session. And if I
did everything correctly, I should now have one
drive just in the start menu. So there's no setup
running at the moment One Drive is just there. So
even though I signed in for the first time, you
can see there is no setup running. OneDrive is
just here. If I click on OneDrive, I can instantly
configure my OneDrive as a user by signing in. So
let's do that.
I need of course to enter my password. Of course,
I need to enter my multifactor authentication. So
let me just acknowledge that and everything goes
okay, I'm now signing. So keep in mind also that
your profile solution must support must support
the use of OneDrive. So for instance, Fslogix
supports this you see my OneDrive has become in
sync. So one thing you can also not do as a user
on server 2019 and Windows 10 is turned on by
going to the settings of the OneDrive is turn on
the safe space and download files as you use them.
So this is the files on demand feature. You can
use this on Windows 2019 and Windows 10. This way,
one rifle only download the files that you use to
your machine, and the rest of the files will be
kept on the cloud. This is also a great feature
because otherwise all the data will become part of
Your profile even if it's an Fslogix profile, it
will be become part of it and your profile will
grow, grow and grow and you will need a lot more
storage so this way you can save for storage. So,
if you want more details please read the blog
attached to this video. For now I wish you good
luck trying this out. Bye.
