With OneDrive being so new for Mac users I can see how many will have this issue. For example if '/' was replaced with '-' we could have example/1.doc changed to example-1.doc which may already exist? Any suggestions on how to handle the find/replace logic? We can use legal characters, but need to be mindful that we could change an illegal name to a legal, but existing name.We could share this with others, would there be interest?.Has this been done/attempted before? I don't see anything, but want to make sure we are not re-inventing the wheel or going down a rabbit hole that will ultimately not work for some reason we are missing.Some questions for those more experienced than we are (we are new to Jamf as of July): One that lists changes made, and a second that lists changes that could not be made and why.
Run a script that looks over all the file names and generates a report.ģ. This will be a policy in Self Service that will:ġ. Rather than have them do this manually, or buy third party software we decided to write some scripts that will find all these illegal characters/names and change them.
We have some users who have all kinds of MS illegal characters in their file names and folder names. We are working on a script that will fix file naming issues for users new to OneDrive.
