## Getting ready to use Enterprise Site Discovery ## Getting ready to use Enterprise Site Discovery
Before you can start to collect your data, you must run the provided PowerShell script (IETelemetrySetUp.ps1) on your client devices to start generating the site discovery data and to set up a place to store this data locally. Then, you must start collecting the site discovery data from the client devices, using one of these three options:
- Collect your hardware inventory using the MOF Editor, while connecting to a client device.<p>
-OR-
- Collect your hardware inventory using the MOF Editor with a .MOF import file.<p>
-OR-
- Collect your hardware inventory using the SMS\DEF.MOF file (System Center Configuration Manager 2007 only)
### WMI only: Running the PowerShell script to compile the .MOF file and to update security privileges
