Hi,

Could you be more specific in this request? What are you using OneDrive for Business with?

If you need to configure mapped network drivers with SharePoint Online sites in Office 365, I think this kb below is helpful to you:

How to configure and to troubleshoot mapped network drives that connect to SharePoint Online sites in Office 365

To map a network drive to a SharePoint Online site, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to the SharePoint Online site by using your Office 365 work or school account credentials. Make sure that you click to select the Keep me signed in check box.
  2. Right-click Computer from the Desktop, or within Windows Explorer, and then click Map Network Drive.
  3. Click the Connect to a Web site that you can store your documents and pictures link, and then click Next two times. 
  4. Type the site URL, click Next, and then follow the instructions in the wizard. For example, type https://contoso.sharepoint.com.

To map a network drive to a SharePoint Online library, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to the SharePoint Online site by using your Office 365 work or school account credentials. Make sure that you click to select the Keep me signed in check box.
  2. Browse to the library that you want to map the drive for.
  3. Click the LIBRARY tab on the ribbon, and then click Open with Explorer.
  4. Click in an empty area of the Explorer window address bar, and then copy the URL of the library.
  5. Right-click the Computer icon from the Desktop, or within Windows Explorer, and then click Map Network Drive.
  6. Click the Connect to a Web site that you can store your documents and pictures link, and then click Next two times.
  7. Paste the URL that you copied in step 4, click Next, and then follow the instructions in the wizard.

By the way, I'm not familiar with Powershell and we can provide limited information about it. For GPO solutions, I still need to know more about the scenario before I can provide any suggestion.
