OneDrive missing post install but not removed within NTLite

[chrcol]

I dont know when this started happening although I do have my older images so can test.

But I just noticed I have no onedrive binary at all on the system on the latest ISO I created but it isnt removed in ntlite.

From what I understand its normally in appdata/local so I guess my profile generation might be messed up somehow?

If relevant Windows 10 21H2 LTSC.

I see is an installer so I guess I could just silent install it.

Its missing on my old laptop as well so maybe it was never included and I installed it manually on my desktop ages ago. I might be wasting everyones time here, but will leave the thread here in case someone has some insights.

When you study the proper steps to remove OneDrive from an image, it's easier to understand the normal setup process.

Remove OneDrive setup file and its icon:

takeown /f %SystemRoot%\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe
icacls %SystemRoot%\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe /grant SYSTEM:f
del %SystemRoot%\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe

takeown /f %SystemRoot%\System32\OneDrive.ico
icacls %SystemRoot%\System32\OneDrive.ico /grant SYSTEM:f
del %SystemRoot%\System32\OneDrive.ico

Delete three Run tasks which install OneDrive. One each for NT Authority\Local Service, NetworkService, and Default User's profile:

reg delete "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v OneDriveSetup /f
reg delete "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v OneDriveSetup /f

reg load HKLM\DEFAULT C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT
reg delete HKLM\DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v OneDriveSetup /f
reg unload HKLM\DEFAULT

Thanks, I can confirm all reg keys are missing and no onedrive binary in system32 when I install from stock LTSC image.

What I ended up doing was just having the onedrive setup package left on desktop, since its a dumb installer not accepting any flags. Then its there for easy installation if I choose to use it on a device.
