OneNote: Can't sign in with a microsoft account.... :-(
On my business laptop (Windows 10 Enterprise / 20H2) we are using Office 365. One of the applications is OneNote which I also use on my mobile using a private Microsoft account. With that I often take notes (which get saved to OneDrive) while on the go and I want to access these also from my Business Laptop.
When I try to access that data (using the OneDrive URL "https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=...&id=documents") and in OneNote select to login via a different account I am first asked for my email address and - after entering that - I get an error box stating:
Can't sign in with a microsoft account.
This program is blocked by group policy
For more information, contact your system administrator.

I asked our system admin and he says he did not - at least not consciously - block that. He also has no objections that I access my private notes with our office laptops. Furthermore we are all (local) admins on our respective machines, so I have the ability to change group policies and registry settings if necessary.
I thus searched for the above error message and meanwhile I tried all the suggested remedies that I found but that darn error still remains! :-(
What I tried so far:
Allow Microsoft account via Local Group Policy Editor:
Withgpedit.msc
underComputer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Polices > Security Options
I declared the group policyAccounts: Block Microsoft accounts
asThis policy is disabled.
.
Allow Microsoft account
With the Registry Editor underHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
I have set the keyNoConnectedUser
as0
Allowed Office online features by settingUseOnlineContent
to2
:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Internet]
"UseOnlineContent"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\internet]
"UseOnlineContent"=dword:00000002
Enabled SignInOptions for Office to allow Microsoft Account as well as Org ID:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\SignIn]
"SignInOptions"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\signin]
"SignInOptions"=dword:00000000
But none of these setting did the trick so far! What else or what additional setting is there that might prevent access for OneNote to OneDrive using a Microsoft account?
