You can configure this setting as the first step to migrate away from storing profile archives on SMB shares.

When you enable the Copy Profile Archives to OneDrive for Business setting, in addition to creating profile archives on the SMB share, the DEM agent will copy the profile archives to OneDrive for Business at logoff.

Procedure

  1. In the Group Policy Management Editor, double-click the Copy profile archives to OneDrive for Business setting.
  2. Select Enabled.
  3. In the Group Policy Management Editor, double-click the OneDrive for Business integration setting.
  4. Select Disabled.
  5. Ensure that all the users have logged on and logged off at least once, so their profile archives are copied to OneDrive for Business.
    The log information is written to a new log file FlexEngine-CopyToOneDrive.log in the same location as the FlexEngine.log file. The logs are also available in the Windows event log. This log information can be used by administrators to verify if VMware Dynamic Environment Manager has started and finished copying files successfully.
  6. When all the user profile archives are copied to OneDrive for Business, select Disabled for the group policy setting in step 1.
  7. To use VMware Dynamic Environment Manager in OneDrive for Business integration mode, ensure to select Enabled for the group policy setting in step 3 and change the profile archive path and the log file path to local folders.
