PowerShell CmdLet to check OneDrive for Business or OneDrive Personal Status

Article
06/06/2017

My good friend Neil Hodgkinson gave me a challenge: some partners and companies were asking him how to verify the status of OneDrive. He gave me the idea to check the icon of the OneDrive folder and depending on the icon, tell the status. I created a proof-of-concept and then helped some folks at Microsoft Consulting Services to have a PowerShell cmdlet to do so. Not being enough the status of OneDrive using the regular OneDrive synchronization, I also included the status of OneDrive when synchronized via Groove (yes, people still use it).

The project is open source and available in GitHub. To get only the PowerShell cmdlet, download OneDriveLib.dll here. License is MIT and can be found here. It is an open source project so it is not entitled for Microsoft support but I will do my best to respond questions in this post. Just ask them in comments.

How to use:

Open PowerShell is normal mode (it will not work in Elevated mode for OneDrive own design)
Import the module OneDriveLib.dll
Run Get-ODStatus

Syntax:

Get-ODStatus [-Type <type-pattern>] [-ByPath <path>]

Where:

-Type <type-pattern> let you filter by OneDrive type (e.g. Personal or Business) [optional]

-ByPath <path> if the folder information is not in the registry you can test a particular folder (this form will return only a status string)

Examples:

Get-ODStatus –Type Business

Get-ODStatus –ByPath c:\user\rodneyviana\onedrive

Example of output

 PS C:\ODTool>; Import-Module OneDriveLib.dll
  
 PS C:\ODTool>; Get-ODStatus
  
  
 StatusString : UpToDate
 LocalPath    : E:\MicrosoftOnedrive\OneDrive - Contoso
 UserSID      : S-1-5-21-124012345-708012345-1543012345-802000
 UserName     : CONTOSO\rodneyviana
 ServiceType  : Business1
  
 StatusString : UpToDate
 LocalPath    : D:\Onedrive
 UserSID      : S-1-5-21-124012345-708012345-1543012345-802000
 UserName     : CONTOSO\rodneyviana
 ServiceType  : Personal

Thanks, great to have this. Just as a side note, in order to use the DLL, make sure you UNBLOCK it via the properties of the file. Basically right click, select unblock and apply. Close and re-open your PowerShell and then follow the instructions.

Thanks for this. Can you help provide more details on StatusString, like what would be the expected output if user are syncing their Personal OneDrive on their PC or laptop?

Is great however Get-ODstatus only show me personal information and not the business even if I use the -Type. When I specify -ByPath I can have the business information. Do you have any idea what can be the cause ?

  It will show personal (OneDrive) and Business (OneDrive for Business). Per OneDrive design it will only show information about your user. Also per design it will not work if you run in elevated privileges. Not my rules.

So how are you guys going about deploying this? I'm assuming every machine has to have this dll and the command run on it?

  Hi Chris,You are correct. It has to be local and it has to run in user context. It will not work in non-interactive way (like a service for example) and it will not work in elevated privileges. OneDrive requirements.

Has anyone been able to apply where-object filtering (or any other) to the output?I've tried all sorts of things and must just be having a moment, or it simply doesn't work. I either get all results back regardless of the filter, or no results back. Nothing in between.There are some Dropbox accounts on the machines being scanned, and it actually picks those up too :)Get-ODStatus –Type Business | where {$.LocalPath -like 'OneDrive'} = Everything BusinessGet-ODStatus –Type Business | where {$.ServiceType -like 'Business1'} = Everything BusinessGet-ODStatus –Type Business | where {$_.StatusString -eq “UpToDate”} = Everything Business, even tho only one has that status.

  Hi Peter,I can think of two things: a) You may have not unblocked the DLL after you downloaded from the Internet; b) There is something wrong with your configuration. If you can do the following I may be able to help you.1. Make sure you run PowerShell in regular privileges (elevated privileges does not work with OneDrive and this is by design)2. See if the OneDrive folder(s) are shown when you run this command in PowerShell:ls -s HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SyncRootManager\

Fantastic! I am running a script by GPO in the user context to pick up the status. It works fine when run manually but by GPO status is always "Not Installed". I have tried with Start-Sleep in the script. Any idea what I am missing or if it is possible at all?Import-Module c:\it\OneDriveLib.dll$UserP= $env:UserProfile$ODStatus = Get-ODStatus -ByPath "$userp\OneDrive - Company"

  Jari,Due to the design of OneDrive you have to run as interactive and in non-elevated administrator privileges. To test if you are running your script in elevated privileges:$IsAdmin = [bool](([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).groups -match "S-1-5-32-544")Test if you are in interactive mode:$IsInteractive = [Environment]::UserInteractiveThese is the situation where the script can run:if(-not $IsAdmin -and $IsInteractive){ Get-ODStatus} else{ Write-Host "You need to run in interactive mode and non-admin mode" Write-Host "Now, you are running as - Admin Mode = $($IsAdmin) / Interactive: $($IsInteractive)"}

When executed remotely (which I guess would be the most interesting case) it always returns NotInstalled. Es:$file = "oneDriveLib.dll"$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $computerNameCopy-Item -Path $file -ToSession $session -Destination 'C:\Windows\System32\oneDriveLib.dll'Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Import-Module 'C:\Windows\System32\oneDriveLib.dll' Get-ODStatus –Type Business}StatusString : NotInstalled[.]The same command, executed locally, returns:StatusString : UpToDate[..]Is that normal ?

  This is by design of OneDrive. It only works in interactive mode. Many people have this challenge and the best way to resolve this is to schedule a new task to run a PowerShell script and update your monitoring system. Make sure that 'Run with highest privilege' is DISABLED as OneDrive also requires this.

Hi Rodney,Thanks for this great tool. Is there anyway it can check status when OneDrive is running as service using a service account? We managed to run OneDrive using local admin account, but This cmdlet doesn't seem to work.Is it because that interactive thing?

  Hi Kang,This is by design. You can only access status for your account. Also you CANNOT run it in elevated privileges.

Hi Rodney, thanks for this great tool.Is it capable to detect OneDrive status when OneDrive runs as a service ?We managed to use task scheduler to run OneDrive using a local admin account as a service. When running this comlet we gets NotInstalled. Is it because of the interactive thing?
- Anonymous

  That is correct. The best way to resolve your problem is to run the PowerShell as a Windows Task Scheduler's task. Choose to run when user is logged on and DO NOT enable Run with highest privileges

    Thanks Rodney for the reply. Then OneDrive is not suitable for our task - a backup agent that runs silently and reports status.Need to find third party client for that task.

Hi Rodney,I have two problems with this tool.1. When i run it on my machine some document libraries show up as ShareSync and some show up as NotInstalled. They are all configured similarly and are definitely installed.2. When i run the script my screen blinks twice.Could you help with that?

1. You cannot run the cmdLet in elevated mode nor in non-interactive mode. The status is only related to the logged user. Read the previous comments to download the debug version of the cmdLet to see what the problems are.2. You may be running this as a Windows task and PowerShell shows a window which may be what you are taking for flicking screen.

Hello Rodney, thank you so much for this tool. We have about 1200 computers and we are trying our best to make sure everyone is using and have OneDrive active and 'UpToDate' each day.We have tested the tool and it works great. The next steps for us is to roll out this through PDQ deploy and track through PDQ inventory so that we can quickly see a list of machines/users needing attention so that we don't have missed backups of files. We find that when we run the powershell locally we get correct results. When we trigger the command from, let's say PDQ we end up with different results. We are trying to change some of the options to make it behave the same but we are struggling as of now. The files are all there in the correct order, placement and access as the command produces results (we have it create a file in a folder and the file is the result of the StatusString).any ideas would be welcome as to why we are getting differing results depending upon where and how we run the command.

    Thanks for the reply. We have discovered that the issue on Windows 7 appears to be related to the context we use to run the script in our endpoint management tool. When the user is a non-admin, it works, when the user is an admin, it returns NotInstalled. The workaround is to create a scheduled task to run the script as the user and write the value to a reg key, then gather that reg key into our endpoint management tool.On the Windows 10 side, it appears that the issue is with FilesOnDemand. This is posted as an issue on Github -- https://github.com/rodneyviana/ODSyncService/issues/3When we disable FilesOnDemand it appears that the script works. Is there any way to have Get-ODStatus work when FilesOnDemand are enabled? We would like to use this feature for our Windows 10 boxes.

Thanks for a great tool to monitor OneDrive status. I've been using it to log computers having trouble with OneDrive, giving one of the error codes. But for some reason it comes back with status: NotInstalled on clients where the user is local admin. I have been testing it on my client, and although my OneDrive is ok, and I don't run an elevated PS promt (although my user is local admin)...I get status NotInstalled. How can this be avoided ?

      I'm seeing same issue on 2 different PCs/tenants. Both W10 1803 with File On-Demand selected. One was saying SharedSync (whatever that means) and after toggling File On-Demand they both now say UpToDate with FOD off and NotInstalled with FOD on. Would love to use this tool until MS delivers something at the tenant level but sadly cannot with my experience thus far.

    Seeing the same behavior on two different Win10 1803 PCs in two different tenants with FilesOnDemand enabled. With it enabled it will say NotInstalled and if disabled it will say UpToDate. Although on the one PC with FOD enabled it initially said SharedSync (whatever that means...would like to know) but after toggling FOD off and on it will now say UpToDate if off and NotInstalled if on. Would really like to use this tool as MS offers no visibility into sync status at the tenant level but unable to at the moment because we would like to use FOD.

Hi,The Get-ODStatus command does not work properly for me.On a computer, the status is ERROR while the OneDrive client does not display any anomalies. On another computer, the result of the command is NotInstalled while the OneDrive client is properly installed.That' s too bad because the command seemed to be very practical.

  Exact same issue. according to me it has nothing to do with unblocking the DLL or other prereqs.Command is/was working on most cmputers and XenApp sessions, but the last couple of days we have a lot more false positive returns of the dll. Maybe because MS has released a new version in the enterprise ring since 22/11.

What does the return status mean? Syncing? SharedSync? NotInstalled?Which status translates to "all is working, good to go" and which ones mean "there's a problem"?I thought this Get-ODStatus sounded really good, but I've deployed it to many machines and get a status, but I don't know what the status means. Where can I find a description of each status? So far I only see Syncing, SharedSync, and NotInstalled. I believe "NotInstalled" means "not logged into OneDrive" as I'm only looking at machines with OneDrive.exe. My personal machine shows "SharedSync" and it's up to date, so I'm translating SharedSync as "up-to-date". I haven't yet looked at a machine with a "Syncing" status, but wonder if they might have an issue if they're stuck in that status?

  UoToDate is the status you are looking for. It may be on different status temporarily but you should aim at UpToDate

    In my experience, when I look at a machine with "NotIntalled" and "SharedSync" status, the OneDrive client often shows as up-to-date. So this tool is no better (or worse, since it gives incorrect information most of the time) than physically (or remotely) looking at each machine to check its status... The reason I came searching for this is that we have clients whose syncs are not working and need to know when this happens so we can fix the issue. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this tool work--or another tool that would accomplish this?

Firstly, thanks for this. It is very useful. We have rolled this out to 1500 users and in the main part, it appears to be accurate. I have noticed that it returns "Not Installed" for some users that have a fully working client. All users have a standard build so OneDrive is installed in the same place and is the same version for all. Any ideas why only a few would be incorrect?

I think we might be missing something. Should this return information about the OD sync client being in an error state if it is (i.e. if there's a file that isn't syncing and the OD icon displays a red X)? Every time we run it the status string returns "SharedSync" regardless of the state of the client. We need something that will alert us when a users sync client is in an error state for some reason.Thanks for the help.

  If there is an error, the tool will show state as Error.

    That was my point. We intentionally put it in an error state by adding a file type that was blocked. The OneDrive icon had a red X over it indicating a sync error. Still, Get-ODStatus reported only "SharedSync". The SharedSync status never changed even after leaving OD in an error state overnight.
