Please note that many Mobile Device Manager (MDM) customers can't deploy group policies. Customers unable to deploy group policy settings for the KIR should open support cases for further assistance.
Current status: We've confirmed that a recent Windows patch deployment inadvertently introduced an EAF issue that's contributing to the impact. We've successfully reproduced the issue locally to test potential long-term solutions to resolve this problem. As we focus on a permanent solution, we've confirmed with affected users that following the steps in the KIR provided or disabling EAF are both functioning as a successful workaround to mitigate the impact.
Scope of impact: Any user may be prevented from signing into the OneDrive for Business sync app.

For users experiencing impact with custom quotas we have provided an interim solution below while we work on developing a more robust solution. This solution was provided in an earlier communication and was not functioning properly, however, we have since addressed the issue.
We recommend admins attempt to manually set the quota for individual users. Instructions can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/change-user-storage
While we understand this may not be a viable option for all organizations, we're committed to providing all potential solutions to our customers.
Current status: Our data continues to indicate that the fix is progressing and users are experiencing incremental resolution if they have a default or non-custom quota set. We're expecting some users may see a delay and if necessary can expedite this process by navigating to their OneDrive for Business account via the web.
Additionally, we've determined that some users who have a custom quota set were impacted by this issue. Our initial investigation did not properly account for a specific variable and we have adjusted our telemetry to ensure we have identified all impacting scenarios.
We're working on a fix to address users in this state and will provide a recovery timeline as soon as possible. We have provided an interim solution that may be viable for some admins that can be found in the 'More Info' section above.
We understand how impacting this issue has on your organization and we want to assure you that we are treating the issue with the utmost priority. We appreciate your patience and will continue to update the Service Health Dashboard daily.

Current status: Our telemetry indicates the fix continues to progress for users with a default or non-custom quota set.
As we've determined that some users who have a custom quota set were impacted by this issue, we’re in the process of developing and testing a separate mitigation activity that will temporarily increase the quota to a value greater than 1TB, and then subsequently apply the correct value. Similar to the fix for non-custom quotas, this mitigation activity will require users to initiate a refresh activity such as navigating to the OneDrive for Business account via the web. We expect development of this mitigation to be completed over the weekend, and for deployment to begin early next week.
In tandem, and to accelerate this process for both users with default quotas and custom quotas, we’re developing a mitigation activity to initiate an automated refresh, which will automatically revert the quota to the correct value.

We’re continuing to complete refresh activities designed to automatically trigger a refresh without manual intervention.
We understand how impacting this issue has been on your organization and we want to assure you that we are treating the issue with the utmost priority.
Scope of impact: This issue affects a large subset of users worldwide, who have a storage quota that exceeds 1TB.
Preliminary root cause: A misconfiguration resulted in our internal systems not recognizing user licenses and reverting the storage quota limit to the default settings of 1TB.

More info: While the vast majority of impact associated with this event has been addressed, we remain committed to offering potential workarounds to those users who may still be affected.
For users that remain impacted, any quota which exceeds the 1TB storage, users may only be able to see their content in read-only mode.
Whilst in read-only mode, users can access their content in OneDrive for Business, but are unable to make changes.
For users experiencing impact with custom quotas, we have provided an interim solution below while we work on developing a more robust solution. This solution was provided in an earlier communication and was not functioning properly, however, we have since addressed the issue.
We recommend admins attempt to manually set the quota for individual users. Instructions can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/change-user-storage
We're expecting some users with custom and non-custom quotas may see a delay in mitigation. As such, all users can manually trigger a refresh through various actions within OneDrive to remediate any lingering impact. For example, accessing a OneDrive for Business account from the web or selecting a file within OneDrive will trigger such a refresh.
While we understand this may not be a viable option for all organizations, we're committed to providing all potential solutions to our customers.
Current status: Our telemetry data indicates that this issue has been resolved for the majority of users, and the subset of users still impacted are continuing to experience incremental relief. We’ll continue to monitor as we complete our refresh activities designed to resolve this issue without manual intervention on the part of individual users.

Root Cause: As part of feature improvements intended to address inefficient logic managing OneDrive for Business quotas, a code change was introduced. On August 25, 2021 a previously unidentified exception occurred which correlated with the recent change. This exception gave the impression that a user had no licenses assigned. The quota management component would then automatically assign a 1TB quota limit, which is the default value if a user had no explicit license enabled. This unexpected change then caused impact as many organizations set larger quote limits by default, or give specific users larger limits than the standard 1TB.
