We have Teams set to automatically launch for every user at login, even though we don’t use it in our organization in any way.
We did the opposite. Teams is prevented from even installing any components by our endpoint security. Same with OneDrive.
The only downside is that Office installs have to be handled manually due to needing to click a couple errors screens. Office updates work fine, just new installs. Small price to pay.
Genuine question - why block onedrive if you are licensed for it?
Because it makes its own damn file paths as default and tries to put everything in rnr cloud causing people to lose track of files
I hated that shit at my last job. Constantly trying to save shit locally only to realize I accidentally saved something on the cloud.
I have a hard drive you fucks. I want to point there by default. No I don't want you reading all my shit.
IIRC there is a way to turn off auto sync in OneDrive app (while also making all the synced files offline), but it's somehow not that apparent
I used to have this in my precious work. It drove me nuts, because single sync error could fuck up files and make them disappear like they would be deleted
That was a year ago and i didn't touch Windows since, so correct me if i'm wrong
Pretty sure you found out the best way to turn off auto sync in OneDrive app
And break applications that made the weird assumption that a file just saved was accessible where it was saved. My solution (after a wtf moment because it wasn't obvious what was going on) was to try to pull it locally, then use the OneDrive path to pull it.
Except that didn't work either. I guess scripts pulling from the cloud looks like a security issue.
So I just reverted back to the user doing saving and loading manually. Can't have nice things.
