- When this policy is ENABLED a data center must be chosen from the available options. Once a data center is chosen all user data is moved immediately to the designated data center and client applications are updated after their next sync.
- When this policy is DISABLED users are able to specify any data center they choose.
Note
Disabling this policy puts the user back in control of where their data is stored. Data is not automatically moved to a different data center by disabling this policy.
