There are a number of requirements to consider when manually configuring devices for Windows Update for Business reports. These requirements can potentially change with newer versions of Windows client. The [Windows Update for Business reports configuration script](wufb-reports-configuration-script.md) will be updated when any configuration requirements change so only a redeployment of the script will be required.
|
||||
There are many requirements to consider when manually configuring devices for Windows Update for Business reports. These requirements can potentially change with later versions of Windows client. When any configuration requirements change, we'll update the [Windows Update for Business reports configuration script](wufb-reports-configuration-script.md). If that happens, you only need to redeploy the script.
|
||||
|
||||
The requirements are separated into different categories:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensuring the [**required policies**](#required-policies) for Windows Update for Business reports are correctly configured.
|
||||
2. Devices in every network topography must send data to the [**required endpoints**](#required-endpoints) for Windows Update for Business reports. For example, devices in both main and satellite offices, which might have different network configurations, must be able to reach the endpoints.
|
||||
3. Ensure [**Required Windows services**](#required-services) are running or are scheduled to run. It's recommended all Microsoft and Windows services are set to their out-of-box defaults to ensure proper functionality.

## Required policies
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Update for Business reports has a number of policies that must be appropriately configured in order for devices to be processed by Microsoft and visible in Windows Update for Business reports. Thee policies are listed below, separated by whether the policies will be configured via [Mobile Device Management](/windows/client-management/mdm/) (MDM) or Group Policy. For both tables:
|
||||
The Windows Update for Business reports service has several policies that you need to configure appropriately. These policies allow Microsoft to process your devices and show them in Windows Update for Business reports. The policies are listed in the following subsections, separated by [mobile device management](/windows/client-management/mdm/) (MDM) or group policy.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Policy** corresponds to the location and name of the policy.
|
||||
- **Value** Indicates what value the policy must be set to. Windows Update for Business reports requires *at least* Basic (or Required) diagnostic data, but can function off Enhanced or Full (or Optional).
|
||||
- **Function** details why the policy is required and what function it serves for Windows Update for Business reports. It will also detail a minimum version the policy is required, if any.
|
||||
The following definitions apply for both tables:
|
||||
|
||||
### Mobile Device Management policies
|
||||
- **Policy**: The location and name of the policy.
|
||||
- **Value**: Set the policy to this value. Windows Update for Business reports requires at least *Required* (previously *Basic*) diagnostic data, but can function with *Enhanced* or *Optional* (previously *Full*).
|
||||
- **Function**: Details for why the policy is required and what function it serves for Windows Update for Business reports. It also details a minimum version the policy requires, if any.
|
||||
|
||||
Each MDM Policy links to its documentation in the configuration service provider (CSP) hierarchy, providing its exact location in the hierarchy and more details.
|
||||
### MDM policies
|
||||
|
||||
| Policy | Data type | Value | Function | Required or recommended|
|
||||
Each MDM policy links to more detailed documentation in the configuration service provider (CSP) hierarchy.
|
||||
|
||||
| Policy | Data type | Value | Function | Required or recommended |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
|**System/**[**AllowTelemetry**](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-system#system-allowtelemetry) |Integer | 1 - Basic |Configures the maximum allowed diagnostic data to be sent to Microsoft. Individual users can still set this value lower than what the policy defines. For more information, see the following policy. | Required |
|
||||
|**System/**[**ConfigureTelemetryOptInSettingsUx**](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-system#system-configuretelemetryoptinsettingsux) |Integer |1 - Disable Telemetry opt-in Settings | Determines whether users of the device can adjust diagnostic data to levels lower than the level defined by AllowTelemetry. We recommend that you disable this policy or the effective diagnostic data level on devices might not be sufficient. | Recommended |
|
||||
|**System/**[**AllowDeviceNameInDiagnosticData**](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-system#system-allowdevicenameindiagnosticdata) |Integer | 1 - Allowed | Allows device name to be sent for Windows Diagnostic Data. If this policy is Not Configured or set to 0 (Disabled), Device Name won't be sent and won't be visible in Windows Update for Business reports, showing `#` instead. | Recommended |
|
||||
| **System/**[**ConfigureTelemetryOptInChangeNotification**](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-system#configuretelemetryoptinchangenotification) | Integer | 1 - Disabled | Disables user notifications that appear for changes to the diagnostic data level. | Recommended |
|
||||
| **System/**[**AllowTelemetry**](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-system#allowtelemetry) | Integer | `1`: Basic (Required) | Configures the device to send the minimum required diagnostic data. | Required |
|
||||
| **System/**[**ConfigureTelemetryOptInSettingsUx**](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-system#configuretelemetryoptinsettingsux) | Integer | `1`: Disable diagnostic data opt-in settings | Determines whether users of the device can adjust diagnostic data to levels lower than you define by the *AllowTelemetry* policy. Set the recommended value to disable opt-in settings, or users can change the effective diagnostic data level that might not be sufficient. | Recommended |
|
||||
| **System/**[**AllowDeviceNameInDiagnosticData**](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-system#allowdevicenameindiagnosticdata) | Integer | `1`: Allowed | Allows the device to send its name with Windows diagnostic data. If you don't configure this policy or set it to `0`: Disabled, then the data doesn't include the device name. If the data doesn't include the device name, you can't see the device in Windows Update for Business reports. In this instance, the reports show `#` instead. | Recommended |
|
||||
| **System/**[**ConfigureTelemetryOptInChangeNotification**](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-system#configuretelemetryoptinchangenotification) | Integer | `1`: Disabled | Disables user notifications that appear for changes to the diagnostic data level. | Recommended |
|
||||
|
||||
### Group policies
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Required endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
To enable data sharing between devices, your network, and Microsoft's Diagnostic Data Service, configure your proxy to allow devices to contact the below endpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
<!--Using include for endpoint access requirements-->
|
||||
[!INCLUDE [Endpoints for Windows Update for Business reports](./includes/wufb-reports-endpoints.md)]
|
||||
|
||||
## Required services
|
||||
|
||||
Many Windows and Microsoft services are required to ensure that not only the device can function, but Windows Update for Business reports can see device data. It's recommended that you allow all default services from the out-of-box experience to remain running. The [Windows Update for Business reports Configuration Script](wufb-reports-configuration-script.md) checks whether the majority of these services are running or are allowed to run automatically.
