ODfB is SharePoint.
In Win10 make sure the Web Client service is enabled and running.
Open the SharePoint site in Internet Explorer. Browse to a library folder. Under the Library "tab" Open With Windows Explorer".
Authenticate if prompted with O365 credentials.
Once complete, in File Explorer click and hold the folder icon at the head of the address bar and pull it down to Quick Access/Favourites.
Once the shortcut is there, right click on it and Properties.
That's the WebDAV URI/URL to use for whatever script or even persistent drive mapping needed.
Yeah, ask a user to do all of that.
Microsoft products are rarely user friendly. Not the route you go if you want it to be easy.
None are for Linux as well...
We use NextCloud on Linux, it's been working great.
I mean trying to guide a user to configure an application in Linux (Not a sync app) is most of the time complex.

I've been wondering if there is a good automated way to configure NextCloud client. I've not tried yet. Would be handy.

@nerdydad That's not for the user. That's for the admin who then delivers that via whatever management solution they use.
Quick Access/Favorites can be Group Policy managed so all or some domain members can get it easily.
For external users it's a two step process to send them a shortcut and they know how to log on from there.

@black3dynamite Is there a simpler method?

After deploying the client, you can probably script to configure each user.

There are 4 RDP servers, brokered together for our ERP system, along with all of the off-chutes that some users will have with some other servers for whatever reason, plus their desktop, for 130 users.

I find the most difficult part of managing an RDP farm is getting the apps themselves to play nicely. I've only had a couple of apps that just flat out refused to work correctly.

Since this is all virtualized, I'll just take one server, sysprep it, shut it down, and then just clone it. Apps are all the exact same. The only thing that needs to change are the UUID's and the database.
