Ping the settings storage location before sync

Computer and userNative Intune settingSyncProviderPingEnabled

Supported on At least Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7

23H2 · 1.0

What it does

This policy setting allows you to configure the User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) sync provider to ping the settings storage path before attempting to sync settings. If the ping is successful then the sync provider attempts to synchronize the settings packages. If the ping is unsuccessful then the sync provider doesn’t attempt the synchronization. If you enable this policy setting, the sync provider pings the settings storage location before synchronizing settings packages. If you disable this policy setting, the sync provider doesn’t ping the settings storage location before synchronizing settings packages. If you do not configure this policy, any defined values will be deleted.

What it writes

These deployment candidates come from the ADMX template; they are separate from the native CSP mapping above.

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.
