A small fix release: clean event log entries. Thanks again to the Reddit user who tracked down the cause.

Fixed

  • No more "The description for Event ID ... cannot be found". Every OneDrive Helper event in Event Viewer started with that text before the real message. The event source was registered against Windows' EventCreate.exe, which only has text for event IDs 1 to 1000, and all of ours are above 1000. The event text is now built into OneDriveHelper.exe, which the installer registers as the source's message file.
  • Existing PCs are fixed by the upgrade. The installer now rewrites the event source registration every time; older versions left an existing one alone. Event Viewer looks up the text when it displays an event, so events logged before the upgrade show cleanly too.

Event IDs are unchanged, so RMM event monitors keep working as they are.

Tip for RMM alerting

3001 is logged as soon as OneDrive has been missing past the grace period, before the automatic restarts are tried, so it also appears when a restart then works (followed by 3005). To be alerted only when a user is actually left without OneDrive, monitor 3006. The full list is in Getting alerts in your RMM.

Upgrading

Run OneDriveHelper.exe install from the new zip, or re-run the RMM install script on the project page, which is updated for this release. Your settings carry over.
