Refresh User Policy

Supported on v2105 or later

What it does

If a GPO is configured for an Office product that is included in the ODFC container, there may be a conflict with a previous user setting. Standard behavior is for the GPO to be applied, but when the ODFC container is read, the GPO will be over-written by the setting in the ODFC container. If the desire is for the GPO change to be universally applied, then enabling this setting should be done prior to the GPO update being applied. When this setting is enabled, the ODFC container will overwrite the previous user setting with the GPO setting. NOTE: There is a performance implication to enabling the RefreshUserPolicy. RefreshUserPolicy should only be enabled during a specific GPO and then should be set back to disabled. Registry Entry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\FSLogix\ODFC\RefreshUserPolicy Type: DWORD Values: 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
The generated payload is incomplete because one or more ADMX element values were not supplied: OdfcRefreshUserPolicy
