Storing Users Known Folders to OneDrive

[black3dynamite]

If these were your only options, which one would you choose?

With option 1, all the known folders is still there but can be an issue if they deleted the link in OneDrive.
With option 2, we have more control to lock it down (when using GPO) and all the known folders are moved to OneDrive directory, now the users only have to remember to use the directory instead.

Option 1 - Using mklink /d

mklink /d "C:\Users\user1\OneDrive - Business1\Documents" "C:\Users\user1\Documents"

Option 2 - Manually using the GUI or using GPO

I will almost always do stuff with a GPO. I inherited a network where the guy did stuff manually. (like a net route statement) It was very difficult figuring out what he had done by hand and where.
