Introduction

When we buy license to use office365 services we have lots of collaboration possibilities. One of the great features is OneDrive. OneDrive gives us the possibilities to backup folders like desktop, documents and pictures what makes the life of working on multiple devices much easier. (e.g., some of this content was written on my iPhone while my device was rebooting and checking my disk)

Sometimes files lock and OneDrive cannot sync or work with the document. What can we do to solve that?

In this example NTFS permissions blew up and I had to fix it to delete the file.

 

Requirements

  • Onedrive KFM configured
  • Reboot
  • Patience

Your document is stuck. It cannot open, you cannot delete it, it cannot be renamed. Just stuck!

Let’s have a good old CMD

chkdsk c: /F /R

 

Warning: before restarting your device consider if you have the time to wait, as it can take very long time depending on various parameters.

Reboot your device

And with that trick our file(s) are back online and ready to work with again.

To fix the issue using Endpoint Manager

Go to https://endpoint.microsoft.com/

Devices -> Windows -> PowerShell Scripts -> Add

Give it a documenting naming standard

Script can be downloaded here:

Build upon Ben Whitmore’s notification script but with some change in code, as I don’t want attachment to external files. Pictures are encoded.

Also borrowed code from Damien Van Robaeys which encode ServiceUI.exe for breaking out of system context, which was needed in this scenario.
