Windows 10: Automate OneDrive 'User Login' Sign-in Process via Powershell

Hi,

At the moment, when a user logs into a computer for the first time, OneDrive is running in the background as a process but doesn't appear in the foreground. When the 'grey cloud' icon in the system tray is clicked, the user is prompted to enter their email address to link to Office365, their password is automatically picked up, then the usual 'click-next' prompts are shown, finally presenting the OneDrive folder within Windows Explorer.

I'd like for this process to be automated via Powershell, so that their email address is filled in through a look up of AD using their domain/username details for reference, as well as bypassing the 'click-next' screens.

Is this possible to do? Has anyone given it a try already?

Thanks.

:)
