# Accessibility information for IT professionals
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft is dedicated to making its products and services accessible and usable for everyone. Windows includes accessibility features that benefit all users. These features make it easier to customize the computer and give users with different abilities options to improve their experience with Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
This article helps you as the IT administrator learn about built-in accessibility features. It also includes recommendations for how to support people in your organization who use these features.
|
||||
For more information about the accessibility resources available in Windows, see [Discover Windows accessibility features](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/discover-windows-accessibility-features-8b1068e6-d3b8-4ba8-b027-133dd8911df9#WindowsVersion=Windows_11).
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 11, version 22H2, includes improvements for people with disabilities: system-wide live captions, Focus sessions, voice access, and more natural voices for Narrator. For more information, see [New accessibility features coming to Windows 11](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2022/05/10/new-accessibility-features-coming-to-windows-11/) and [How inclusion drives innovation in Windows 11](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/?p=177554).
|
||||
<!-- 6294246 -->
|
||||
Windows 11, version 22H2, includes improvements for people with disabilities. For example, system-wide live captions, Focus sessions, voice access, and more natural voices for Narrator. For more information, see the following Windows Experience blog posts:
|
||||
|
||||
- [New accessibility features coming to Windows 11](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2022/05/10/new-accessibility-features-coming-to-windows-11/)
|
||||
|
||||
- [How inclusion drives innovation in Windows 11](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2022/09/20/how-inclusion-drives-innovation-in-windows-11/)
|
||||
|
||||
## General recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
- **Be aware of Ease of Access settings**. Understand how people in your organization might use these settings. Help people in your organization learn how they can customize Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Don't block settings**. Avoid using group policy or MDM settings that override Ease of Access settings.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Encourage choice**. Allow people in your organization to customize their computers based on their needs. That customization might be installing an add-on for their browser, or a non-Microsoft assistive technology.
|
||||
|
||||
## Vision
|
||||
- Use the [Azure AI Translator](/azure/ai-services/translator/) service to add machine translation to your solutions.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Use Narrator to use devices without a screen](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/complete-guide-to-narrator-e4397a0d-ef4f-b386-d8ae-c172f109bdb1). Narrator describes Windows and apps and enables you to control devices by using a keyboard, controller, or with a range of gestures on touch-supported devices. Now the user is able to download and install 10 more natural languages.
|
||||
- [Create accessible apps](/windows/apps/develop/accessibility). You can develop accessible apps just like Mail, Groove, and Store that work well with Narrator and other leading screen readers.
|
||||
- Use keyboard shortcuts. Get the most out of Windows with shortcuts for apps and desktops.
|
||||
- [Keyboard shortcuts in Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/keyboard-shortcuts-in-windows-dcc61a57-8ff0-cffe-9796-cb9706c75eec)
|
||||
- [Narrator keyboard commands and touch gestures](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/appendix-b-narrator-keyboard-commands-and-touch-gestures-8bdab3f4-b3e9-4554-7f28-8b15bd37410a)
|
||||
- [Windows keyboard shortcuts for accessibility](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/windows-keyboard-shortcuts-for-accessibility-021bcb62-45c8-e4ef-1e4f-41b8c1fc87fd)
|
||||
- Get closer with [Magnifier](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/use-magnifier-to-make-things-on-the-screen-easier-to-see-414948ba-8b1c-d3bd-8615-0e5e32204198). Magnifier enlarges all or part of your screen and offers various configuration settings.

||||
- [Make Windows easier to see](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/make-windows-easier-to-see-c97c2b0d-cadb-93f0-5fd1-59ccfe19345d).
|
||||
- Changing the size or color of pointers or adding trails or touch feedback make it easier to follow the mouse.
|
||||
- Adjust the size of text, icons, and other screen items to make them easier to see.
|
||||
- Many high-contrast themes are available to suit your needs.
|
||||
- [Have Cortana assist](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/what-is-cortana-953e648d-5668-e017-1341-7f26f7d0f825). Cortana can handle various tasks for you, including setting reminders, opening apps, finding facts, and sending emails and texts.
|
||||
- [Dictate text and commands](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/use-voice-recognition-in-windows-83ff75bd-63eb-0b6c-18d4-6fae94050571). Windows includes speech recognition that lets you tell it what to do.
|
||||
- [Simplify for focus](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/make-it-easier-to-focus-on-tasks-0d259fd9-e9d0-702c-c027-007f0e78eaf2). Reducing animations and turning off background images and transparency can minimize distractions.
|
||||
- [Keep notifications around longer](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/make-windows-easier-to-hear-9c18cfdc-63be-2d47-0f4f-5b00facfd2e1). If notifications aren't staying visible long enough for you to notice them, you can increase the time a notification will be displayed up to five minutes.
|
||||
- [Read in braille](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/chapter-8-using-narrator-with-braille-3e5f065b-1c9d-6eb2-ec6d-1d07c9e94b20). Narrator supports braille displays from more than 35 manufacturers using more than 40 languages and multiple braille variants.
|
||||
- Starting in Windows 11, version 22H2 with [KB5022913](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/5022913), the compatibility of braille displays has been expanded. Braille displays work seamlessly and reliably across multiple screen readers, improving the end user experience.
|
||||
- [Create accessible apps](/windows/apps/develop/accessibility) that work well with Narrator and other leading screen readers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hearing
|

- [Use live captions to better understand audio](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/use-live-captions-to-better-understand-audio-b52da59c-14b8-4031-aeeb-f6a47e6055df). Use Windows 11, version 22H2 or later to better understand any spoken audio with real time captions.
|
||||
- Starting with Windows 11, version 22H2 with [KB5026446](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/5026446), live captions now supports additional languages.
|
||||
- [View live transcription in a Teams meeting](https://support.microsoft.com/office/view-live-transcription-in-a-teams-meeting-dc1a8f23-2e20-4684-885e-2152e06a4a8b). During any Teams meeting, view a live transcription so you don't miss what's being said.
|
||||
- [Use Teams for sign language](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-teams/group-chat-software). Teams is available on various platforms and devices, so you don't have to worry about whether your co-workers, friends, and family can communicate with you.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Make Windows easier to hear](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/make-windows-easier-to-hear-9c18cfdc-63be-2d47-0f4f-5b00facfd2e1).
|
||||
- Replace audible alerts with visual alerts.
|
||||
- If notifications aren't staying visible long enough for you to notice them, you can increase the time a notification will be displayed up to five minutes.
|
||||
- Send all sounds to both left and right channels, which is helpful for those people with partial hearing loss or deafness in one ear.
|
||||
- [Read spoken words with captioning](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/change-caption-settings-135c465b-8cfd-3bac-9baf-4af74bc0069a). You can customize things like color, size, and background transparency to suit your needs and tastes.
|
||||
- Use the [Azure Cognitive Services Translator](/azure/cognitive-services/translator/) service to add machine translation to your solutions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Physical
|
||||
|
||||
- [Have Cortana assist you](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/what-is-cortana-953e648d-5668-e017-1341-7f26f7d0f825). Cortana can handle various tasks for you, including setting reminders, opening apps, finding facts, and sending emails and texts.
|
||||
- [Dictate text and commands](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/use-voice-recognition-in-windows-83ff75bd-63eb-0b6c-18d4-6fae94050571). Windows includes voice recognition that lets you tell it what to do.
|
||||
- [Use the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK)](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/use-the-on-screen-keyboard-osk-to-type-ecbb5e08-5b4e-d8c8-f794-81dbf896267a). Instead of relying on a physical keyboard, use the OSK to enter data and select keys with a mouse or other pointing device. It also offers word prediction and completion.
|
||||
- [Make your mouse, keyboard, and other input devices easier to use](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/make-your-mouse-keyboard-and-other-input-devices-easier-to-use-10733da7-fa82-88be-0672-f123d4b3dcfe).
|
||||
|
||||
- If you have limited control of your hands, you can personalize your keyboard to do helpful things like ignore repeated keys.
|
||||
- If a mouse is difficult to use, you can control the pointer by using your numeric keypad.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cognition
|
||||
|
||||
- [Simplify for focus](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/make-it-easier-to-focus-on-tasks-0d259fd9-e9d0-702c-c027-007f0e78eaf2). Reducing animations and turning off background images and transparency can minimize distractions.
|
||||
- [Download and use fonts that are easier to read](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=50721). **Fluent Sitka Small** and **Fluent Calibri** are fonts that address "visual crowding" by adding character and enhance word and line spacing.
|
||||
- [Microsoft Edge reading view](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/take-your-reading-with-you-b6699255-4436-708e-7b93-4d2e19a15af8). Clears distracting content from web pages so you can stay focused on what you really want to read.
|
||||
|
||||
## Assistive technology devices built into Windows
|
||||
|
||||
- [Hear text read aloud with Narrator](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/hear-text-read-aloud-with-narrator-040f16c1-4632-b64e-110a-da4a0ac56917). Narrator reads text on your PC screen aloud and describes events, such as notifications or calendar appointments, so you can use your PC without a display.
|
||||
- Scripting functionality has been added to Narrator. There is store delivery of Narrator extension scripts which currently include an Outlook script and an Excel script.
|
||||
- [Use voice recognition](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/use-voice-recognition-in-windows-83ff75bd-63eb-0b6c-18d4-6fae94050571).
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- MAXADO-8138354 -->
|
||||
- With spellings experience in voice access, you can dictate a complex or non-standard word letter-by-letter and add it to Windows dictionary. The next time you try to dictate the same word, voice access improves its recognition.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Save time with keyboard shortcuts](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/keyboard-shortcuts-in-windows-dcc61a57-8ff0-cffe-9796-cb9706c75eec).
|
||||
- [Use voice access to control your PC and author text with your voice](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/use-voice-access-to-control-your-pc-author-text-with-your-voice-4dcd23ee-f1b9-4fd1-bacc-862ab611f55d).

# Configure Delivery Optimization (DO) for Windows
|
||||
|
||||
This article describes the different configuration considerations to optimize Delivery Optimization (DO) in your environment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Delivery Optimization set up considerations
|
||||
|
||||
Use this checklist to guide you through different aspects when modifying Delivery Optimization configurations for your environment.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Prerequisites to allow Delivery Optimization communication
|
||||
1. Evaluate Delivery Optimization policies based on the following items:
|
||||
|
||||
* Network topology
|
||||
* Organization size
|
||||
* System resources
|
||||
* Improve P2P efficiencies
|
||||
|
||||
1. Using Connected Cache (MCC)
|
||||
1. Choose where to set Delivery Optimization policies
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Prerequisites to allow Delivery Optimization communication
|
||||
|
||||
:::image type="content" source="images/do-setup-allow-communication.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the considerations to allow Delivery Optimization communication." lightbox="images/do-setup-allow-communication.png":::
|
||||
|
||||
Delivery Optimization (DO) is used to download Microsoft content from different sources (HTTP source, peers, and/or dedicated cache solution). It requires communication between the DO client and services to find the best and most reliable sources of content. For this technology to work, the DO client running on the Windows device must be able to reach the DO cloud service.
|
||||
|
||||
Find out more about the requirements for Firewall, Proxy, and Port settings to enable Delivery Optimization communication.
|
||||
|
||||
### Firewall
|
||||
|
||||
There are service endpoints that you need to permit through your Firewall to communicate with the Delivery Optimization service. Check the [full list](waas-delivery-optimization-faq.yml#what-hostnames-should-i-allow-through-my-firewall-to-support-delivery-optimization) of endpoints to permit.
|
||||
|
||||
### Proxy
|
||||
|
||||
To allow peer-to-peer (P2P) to work properly, you need to allow direct calls to the Delivery Optimization service from your devices. When using a proxy, you want to bypass calls from the Delivery Optimization service (*.prod.do.dsp.mp.microsoft.com).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Local proxy
|
||||
|
||||
For downloads from HTTP sources, Delivery Optimization can use the automatic proxy discovery capability of WinHttp to handle communication with the proxy server. It's important to know that Delivery Optimization uses byte range requests, so you'll want to make sure your proxy allows this capability. [Learn more](delivery-optimization-proxy.md) about using Delivery Optimization with a proxy server.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Cloud proxy
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using a cloud proxy, the calls to the DO service are funneled through your cloud proxy and the public IP address of the devices is altered, preventing P2P from working properly. To avoid any issues, you should configure it to allow Delivery Optimization traffic to [bypass the proxy](waas-delivery-optimization-faq.yml#what-is-the-recommended-configuration-for-delivery-optimization-used-with-cloud-proxies). Otherwise, you may experience reduced performance and increased bandwidth consumption.
|
||||
|
||||
### Ports
|
||||
|
||||
Delivery Optimization requires the use of certain ports to deliver content. Make sure all the [required ports](waas-delivery-optimization-faq.yml#which-ports-does-delivery-optimization-use) are open to make Delivery Optimization work seamlessly.
|
||||
|
||||
| Port | Protocol | Function |
|
||||
|---------|-------------------|----------|
|
||||
| 7680 | TCP/IP | Listen for P2P using TCP/IP |
|
||||
| 3544 | TCP/IP | Use Teredo to discover and connect to peers across NATs |
|
||||
| 443 | HTTPS / TLS 1.2 | Use to communicate Delivery Optimization client and service |
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Evaluate Delivery Optimization policies
|
||||
|
||||
There are a range of [Delivery Optimization settings](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md) available to meet the needs of your environment. To fully leverage Delivery Optimization, you should focus on key areas to determine the most suitable settings for your unique environment.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2a. Network topology
|
||||
|
||||
:::image type="content" source="images/do-setup-network-topology.png" alt-text="Screenshot of Delivery Optimization network topology considerations." lightbox="images/do-setup-network-topology.png":::
|
||||
|
||||
Peer groups can be defined in Delivery Optimization using a combination of settings such as [DODownloadMode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode), [DOGroupID](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#group-id), [DOGroupIDSource](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids), and [DORestrictPeerSelection](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-a-method-to-restrict-peer-selection). *The combination of settings used depends on your desired peer group(s) and your network topology.*
|
||||
|
||||
#### Peering setup options
|
||||
|
||||
Delivery Optimization can use P2P to help improve bandwidth efficiencies. The section outlines the different options available to define peer groups for your environment.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Local area network (LAN)
|
||||
|
||||
To define a peer group limited to your LAN, choose [DODownloadMode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode) (1), LAN-mode. This download mode setting includes any devices that share the same public IP address when they connect to the Internet (behind the same NAT) in a single peer group.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Consider using Group download mode and/or limiting peer selection to the subnet if your network topology is a Hub and Spoke.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Wide area network (WAN)
|
||||
|
||||
To achieve peer groups across NATs within the same site, over the WAN, or to have more control in your local environment, use download mode '2', Group-mode. Group download mode allows you to define a unique GUID Group ID or use existing logical groupings (for example, AD Site) in your enterprise with the [DOGroupIDSource](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids) setting to identify a peer group.
|
||||
|
||||
##### GroupIDSource default behavior
|
||||
|
||||
There are several options for identifying your Group ID using the [DOGroupIDSource](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids). The default behavior, when the [DOGroupID](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#group-id) or [DOGroupIDSource](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids) policies aren't set, is to determine the Group ID using AD Site (1), Authenticated domain SID (2), or Microsoft Entra tenant ID (5). [Learn more](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids) about all DOGroupIDSource available options.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> If your peer group spans across NATs, the Teredo service will be used on port 3544.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> For Configuration Manager users, we recommend leveraging existing [boundary groups](/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/hierarchy/fundamental-concepts-for-content-management#delivery-optimization) to define the peer groups.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Restrict peer selection
|
||||
|
||||
If your environment requires a more granular approach, you can use the restrict peer discovery setting alongside the download mode to achieve more control. For example, if you have several different subnets behind the same NAT but want to limit your peer groups to a single subnet, choose [DODownloadMode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode) (1) and [DORestrictPeerSelection](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-a-method-to-restrict-peer-selection) (Subnet). This setting can be used with any of the peer-related download modes (1, 2, or 3).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Nonpeering options
|
||||
|
||||
There are two valid download modes that don't use P2P functionality to deliver content; download modes (0) and (99). Download mode (0) uses additional metadata provided by the Delivery Optimization services for a peerless, reliable, and efficient download experience. Download mode (99) will provide a reliable download experience over HTTP from the download's original source or Microsoft, with no other checks.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Peering with VPN
|
||||
|
||||
By default, if Delivery Optimization detects a VPN, peering isn't used. To change this behavior, use the [DOAllowVPNPeerCaching](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#enable-peer-caching-while-the-device-connects-via-vpn) policy. The Delivery Optimization client looks in the network adapter's 'Description' and 'FriendlyName' strings to determine VPN usage. To allow greater flexibility for VPN identification, use the [DOVpnKeywords](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#vpn-keywords) to add descriptors for a particular VPN you use in your organization.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> The default keyword list is "VPN", "Secure", and "Virtual Private Network". For example, "MYVPN" matches the "VPN" keyword and would be detected as a VPN connection.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2b. Organization size
|
||||
|
||||
:::image type="content" source="images/do-setup-org-size.png" alt-text="Screenshot of optimizing P2P usage for your organization." lightbox="images/do-setup-org-size.png":::
|
||||
|
||||
Delivery Optimization is designed to perform best in a large-scale environment with many devices. Depending on the size of the environment, you should evaluate the value of the [DOMinFileSizeToCache](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#minimum-peer-caching-content-file-size) to optimize peering.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Minimum file size to cache
|
||||
|
||||
Content peering has a limited number of slots available at any given time. By default, only content files that are 50 MB or larger can be used for peering. In an environment with more than 30 devices, change the [DOMinFileSizeToCache](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#minimum-peer-caching-content-file-size) to a lower value (10 MB), to have more content available for peering, which can be distributed among many devices. For an even larger number of devices (>100), you can raise this setting to (1 MB).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Mobile devices
|
||||
|
||||
By default, P2P capabilities aren't enabled for devices using a battery. If there are many mobile devices in your environment, consider enabling the [DOMinBatteryPercentageAllowedToUpload](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#allow-uploads-while-the-device-is-on-battery-while-under-set-battery-level) policy to 60%, to use peering while on battery.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2c. System resources
|
||||
|
||||
:::image type="content" source="images/do-setup-system-resources.png" alt-text="Screenshot of Delivery Optimization system resources considerations." lightbox="images/do-setup-system-resources.png":::
|
||||
|
||||
There are some Delivery Optimization configurations that can make an impact when various system resources are available.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Disk size
|
||||
|
||||
Alter the minimum disk size (default is 32 GB) a device must have to use peering with the [DOMinDiskSizeAllowedToPeer](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#minimum-disk-size-allowed-to-use-peer-caching) setting.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Optimize cache size
|
||||
|
||||
You can also manage the amount of space the Delivery Optimization cache uses with the following settings: [DOMaxCacheSize](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#max-cache-size) (default is 20%) and [DOAbsoluteMaxCacheSize](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#absolute-max-cache-size) (default isn't configured).
|
||||
|
||||
#### RAM size
|
||||
|
||||
Control the minimum amount of RAM (inclusive) allowed to use peer caching (default is 4 GB), with [DOMinRAMAllowedToPeer](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#minimum-ram-inclusive-allowed-to-use-peer-caching).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Large number of devices with idle system resources
|
||||
|
||||
In an environment with devices that are plugged in and have ample free disk space try increasing the content expiration interval of [DOMaxCacheAge](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#max-cache-age) to seven or more (up to 30 days). You can take advantage of these devices, using them as excellent upload sources to upload more content over a longer period.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2d. Improve P2P efficiency
|
||||
|
||||
:::image type="content" source="images/do-setup-improve-efficiency.png" alt-text="Screenshot of Delivery Optimization improve efficiency considerations." lightbox="images/do-setup-improve-efficiency.png":::
|
||||
|
||||
Looking to improve P2P efficiency? Some of the most powerful settings you can change that could have a significant impact within your environment include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Help optimize peer connection over HTTP connections using the [DOMinBackgroundQoS](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#minimum-background-qos) policy. A good value for the [DOMinBackgroundQoS](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#minimum-background-qos) policy is something lower than the average download speed seen in your network. For example, if your average speed is 1000 KB/s, set this policy to 500 KB/s.
|
||||
- Improve chances of downloading from peers and/or cache server by delaying the time DO attempts to make connections before falling back to the HTTP source. The set of delay-related policies include:
|
||||
- [DODelayBackgroundDownloadFromHttp](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#delay-background-download-from-http-in-secs)
|
||||
- [DODelayForegroundDownloadFromHttp](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#delay-foreground-download-from-http-in-secs)
|
||||
|
||||
To improve efficiencies from peers or a dedicated cache server, a good starting point is 60 seconds for background settings and 30 seconds for foreground settings.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Not all content types are eligible for P2P. Refer to the [complete list](waas-delivery-optimization.md#types-of-download-content-supported-by-delivery-optimization) to learn more.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Bandwidth throttling options
|
||||
|
||||
Regardless of P2P, consider setting the following policies to avoid network disruption.
|
||||
|
||||
- Manage network usage as a percentage or absolute value. These policies include:
|
||||
- [DOPercentageMaxBackgroundBandwidth](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#maximum-background-download-bandwidth)
|
||||
- [DOPercentageMaxForegroundBandwidth](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#maximum-foreground-download-bandwidth)
|
||||
- [DOMaxBackgroundDownloadBandwidth](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#maximum-background-download-bandwidth-in-kbs)
|
||||
- [DOMaxForegroundDownloadBandwidth](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#maximum-foreground-download-bandwidth-in-kbs)
|
||||
- Reduce disruptions by throttling differently at different times of day, using the following business hours policies:
|
||||
- [DOSetHoursToLimitBackgroundDownloadBandwidth](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#set-business-hours-to-limit-background-download-bandwidth)
|
||||
- [DOSetHoursToLimitForegroundDownloadBandwidth](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#set-business-hours-to-limit-foreground-download-bandwidth).
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> The absolute policies are recommended in low bandwidth environments.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Using Connected Cache (MCC)
|
||||
|
||||
:::image type="content" source="images/do-setup-connected-cache.png" alt-text="Screenshot of Delivery Optimization options when using Connected Cache." lightbox="images/do-setup-connected-cache.png":::
|
||||
|
||||
- [DOCacheHost](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#cache-server-hostname) is the list of cache host server names, separated with commas. *Delivery Optimization client connects to the listed Microsoft Connected Cache servers in the order as they're listed.*
|
||||
- [DOCacheHostSource](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#cache-server-hostname-source) can be used to dynamically discover cache host servers on the network, using DHCP.
|
||||
- [DelayCacheServerFallbackBackground](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#delay-background-download-cache-server-fallback-in-secs) and [DelayCacheServerFallbackForeground](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#delay-foreground-download-cache-server-fallback-in-secs) are the delay policies to help improve chances of pulling content from the network cache host servers. (See recommended values in [Improve P2P efficiency](#2d-improve-p2p-efficiency) section above).
|
||||
- [DODisallowCacheServerDownloadsOnVPN](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#disallow-cache-server-downloads-on-vpn) allows control of the cache host server to supply content, when device is on a VPN connection.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Choose where to set Delivery Optimization policies
|
||||
|
||||
:::image type="content" source="images/do-setup-presence.png" alt-text="Screenshot of different product areas where you find Delivery Optimization." lightbox="images/do-setup-presence.png":::
|
||||
|
||||
### Group Policies

||||
|
||||
Use Group Policy to manage Delivery Optimization settings here,
|
||||
|
||||
`Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Delivery Optimization`
|
||||
|
||||
### MDM Policies
|
||||
|
||||
Use MDM to manage Delivery Optimization settings here,
|
||||
|
||||
`.Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/DeliveryOptimization/`
|
||||

In the case where Delivery Optimization isn't working in your environment, it's important to investigate to get to the root of the problem. We recommend a test environment be created to easily evaluate typical devices to ensure Delivery Optimization is working properly. For starters, 'Scenario 1: Basic Setup' should be created to test the use of Delivery Optimization between two machines. This scenario is designed to eliminate any noise in the environment to ensure there's nothing preventing Delivery Optimization from working on the devices. Once you have a baseline, you can expand the test environment for more sophisticated tests.

# Troubleshoot Delivery Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
This article discusses how to troubleshoot Delivery Optimization.
|
||||
|
||||
## DO Troubleshooter
|
||||
|
||||
[Check out](https://aka.ms/do-fix) for the new Delivery Optimization Troubleshooter. This tool provides a device health check to verify the device is set up properly to use Delivery Optimization. To scope the output more specifically, use one of the available switches:
|
||||
|
||||
- -HealthCheck: Provides an overall check of the device setup to ensure Delivery Optimization communication is possible on the device.
|
||||
- -P2P: Provides output specific to P2P settings, efficiency, and errors.
|
||||
- -MCC: Provides output specific to MCC settings and verifies the client can access the cache server.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common problems and solutions
|
||||
|
||||
This section summarizes common problems and some solutions to try.
|
||||
|
||||
### If you don't see any bytes from peers
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't see any bytes coming from peers, the cause might be one of the following issues:
|
||||
|
||||
- Clients aren't able to reach the Delivery Optimization cloud services.
|
||||
- The cloud service doesn't see other peers on the network.
|
||||
- Clients aren't able to connect to peers that are offered back from the cloud service.
|
||||
- None of the computers on the network are getting updates from peers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Clients aren't able to reach the Delivery Optimization cloud services
|
||||
|
||||
Try these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start a download of an app that is larger than 50 MB from the Store (for example "Candy Crush Saga").
|
||||
1. Run `Get-DeliveryOptimizationStatus` from an elevated PowerShell window and observe the [DODownloadMode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode) setting. For peering to work, download mode should be 1, 2, or 3.
|
||||
1. If the download mode is 99, it could indicate your device is unable to reach the Delivery Optimization cloud services. Ensure that the Delivery Optimization host names are allowed access: most importantly **\*.prod.do.dsp.mp.microsoft.com**.
|
||||
|
||||
#### The cloud service doesn't see other peers on the network
|
||||
|
||||
Try these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download the same app on two different devices on the same network, waiting 10 - 15 minutes between downloads.
|
||||
1. Run `Get-DeliveryOptimizationStatus` from an elevated PowerShell window and ensure that **[DODownloadMode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode)** is 1 or 2 on both devices.
|
||||
1. Run `Get-DeliveryOptimizationPerfSnap` from an elevated PowerShell window on the second device. The **NumberOfPeers** field should be nonzero.
|
||||
1. If the number of peers is zero and **[DODownloadMode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode)** is 1, ensure that both devices are using the same public IP address to reach the internet (you can easily do this by opening a browser window and do a search for "what is my IP"). In the case where devices aren't reporting the same public IP address, configure **[DODownloadMode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode)** to 2 (Group) and use a custom **[DOGroupID (Guid)](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#group-id)**.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Starting in Windows 10, version 2004, `Get-DeliveryOptimizationStatus` has a new option `-PeerInfo` which returns a real-time list of potential peers per file, including which peers are successfully connected and the total bytes sent or received from each peer.
|
||||
|
||||
### Clients aren't able to connect to peers offered by the cloud service
|
||||
|
||||
Try a Telnet test between two devices on the network to ensure they can connect using port 7680. Follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install Telnet by running `dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient` from an elevated command prompt.
|
||||
1. Run the test. For example, if you're on device with IP 192.168.8.12 and you're trying to test the connection to 192.168.9.17 run `telnet 192.168.9.17 7680` (the syntax is *telnet [destination IP] [port]*. When you see a connection error or a blinking cursor like this /_. The blinking cursor means success.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> You can also use [Test-NetConnection](/powershell/module/nettcpip/test-netconnection) instead of Telnet to run the test.
|
||||
> **Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 192.168.9.17 -Port 7680**
|
||||
|
||||
### None of the computers on the network are getting updates from peers
|
||||
|
||||
Check Delivery Optimization settings that could limit participation in peer caching. Check whether the following settings in assigned group policies, local group policies, or MDM policies are too restrictive:
|
||||
|
||||
- Minimum RAM (inclusive) allowed to use peer caching
|
||||
- Minimum disk size allowed to use peer caching
|
||||
- Enable peer caching while the device connects using VPN.
|
||||
- Allow uploads when the device is on battery while under the set battery level

| Group (2) | When group mode is set, the group is automatically selected based on the device's Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) site (Windows 10, version 1607) or the domain the device is authenticated to (Windows 10, version 1511). In group mode, peering occurs across internal subnets, between devices that belong to the same group, including devices in remote offices. You can use GroupID option to create your own custom group independently of domains and AD DS sites. Starting with Windows 10, version 1803, you can use the GroupIDSource parameter to take advantage of other method to create groups dynamically. Group download mode is the recommended option for most organizations looking to achieve the best bandwidth optimization with Delivery Optimization. |

# Set up Delivery Optimization for Windows
|
||||
|
||||
> **Looking for consumer information?** See [Windows Update: FAQ](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12373/windows-update-faq)
|
||||
|
||||
## Set up Delivery Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
You can use Group Policy or an MDM solution like Intune to configure Delivery Optimization.
|
||||
|
||||
You find the Delivery Optimization settings in Group Policy under **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Delivery Optimization**.
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with Microsoft Intune version 1902, you can set many Delivery Optimization policies as a profile, which you can then apply to groups of devices. For more information, see [Delivery Optimization settings in Microsoft Intune](/mem/intune/configuration/delivery-optimization-windows).
|
||||
|
||||
**Starting with Windows 10, version 1903**, you can use the Microsoft Entra tenant ID as a means to define groups. To set the value for [DOGroupIDSource](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids) to its new maximum value of 5.
|
||||
|
||||
## Allow service endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
When using a firewall, it's important that the Delivery Optimization Service endpoints are allowed and associated ports are open. For more information, see [Delivery Optimization FAQ](waas-delivery-optimization-faq.yml#what-hostnames-should-i-allow-through-my-firewall-to-support-delivery-optimization).
|
||||
|
||||
## Allow content endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
When using a firewall, it's important that the content endpoints are allowed and associated ports are open. For more information, see [Endpoints for Delivery Optimization and Microsoft Connected Cache content](delivery-optimization-endpoints.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended Delivery Optimization settings
|
||||
|
||||
Delivery Optimization offers a great many settings to fine-tune its behavior see [Delivery Optimization reference](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md) for a comprehensive list, but for the most efficient performance, there are just a few key parameters that have the greatest impact if particular situations exist in your deployment. If you just need an overview of Delivery Optimization, see [Delivery Optimization for Windows 10 updates](waas-delivery-optimization.md).
|
||||
|
||||
- Does your topology include multiple breakouts to the internet that is, a "hybrid WAN" or are there only a few connections to the internet, so that all requests appear to come from a single external IP address a "hub and spoke" topology?
|
||||
- If you use boundary groups in your topology, how many devices are present in a given group?
|
||||
- What percentage of your devices are mobile?
|
||||
- Do your devices have a lot of free space on their drives?
|
||||
- Do you have a lab scenario with many devices on AC power?
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> These scenarios (and the recommended settings for each) are not mutually exclusive. It's possible that your deployment might involve more than one of these scenarios, in which case you can employ the related settings in any combination as needed. In all cases, however, "download mode" is the most important one to set.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Microsoft Intune includes a profile to make it easier to set Delivery Optimization policies. For details, see [Delivery Optimization settings for Intune](/mem/intune/configuration/delivery-optimization-settings).
|
||||
|
||||
Quick-reference table:
|
||||
|
||||
| Use case | Policy | Recommended value | Reason |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| Hub & spoke topology | Download mode | 1 or 2 | Automatic grouping of peers to match your topology |
|
||||
| Sites with > 30 devices | Minimum file size to cache | 10 MB (or 1 MB) | Use peers-to-peer capability in more downloads |
|
||||
| Large number of mobile devices | Allow uploads on battery power | 60% | Increase # of devices that can upload while limiting battery drain |
|
||||
| Labs with AC-powered devices | Content expiration | 7 (up to 30) days | Leverage devices that can upload more for a longer period |
|
||||
|
||||
### Hybrid WAN scenario
|
||||
|
||||
For this scenario, grouping devices by domain allows devices to be included in peer downloads and uploads across VLANs. **Set Download Mode to 2 - Group**. The default group, when the GroupID or GroupIDSource policies aren't set, is the AD Site (1), Authenticated domain SID (2) or Microsoft Entra tenant ID (5), in that order. If your domain-based group is too wide, or your Active Directory sites aren't aligned with your site network topology, then you should consider other options for dynamically creating groups, for example by using the [DOGroupIDSource](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids) policy.
|
||||
|
||||
In Group Policy go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Delivery Optimization** and set **Download mode** to **2**.
|
||||
|
||||
Using with MDM, go to **./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/DeliveryOptimization/** and set [DODownloadMode](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-deliveryoptimization#dodownloadmode) to 1 or 2.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hub and spoke topology with boundary groups
|
||||
|
||||
The default download mode setting is **1**; this means all devices breaking out to the internet using the same public IP is considered as a single peer group. To prevent peer-to-peer activity across your WAN, you should set the download mode to **2**. If you have already defined Active Directory sites per hub or branch office, then you don't need to do anything else since the Active Directory sites are used by default as the source for creation of Group IDs. If you're not using Active Directory sites, you should set a different source for Groups by using the [DOGroupIDSource](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids) options or the [DORestrictPeerSelectionBy](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-a-method-to-restrict-peer-selection) policy to restrict the activity to the subnet.
|
||||
|
||||
With Group Policy go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Delivery Optimization** and set **Download mode** to **2**.
|
||||
|
||||
Using MDM, go to **./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/DeliveryOptimization/** and set [DODownloadMode](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-deliveryoptimization#dodownloadmode) to **2**.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> For more information about using Delivery Optimization with Configuration Manager boundary groups, see [Delivery Optimization for Configuration Manager](/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/hierarchy/fundamental-concepts-for-content-management#delivery-optimization).
|
||||
|
||||
### Large number of mobile devices
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a mobile workforce with a great many mobile devices, set Delivery Optimization to allow uploads on battery power, while limiting the use to prevent battery drain. A setting for **DOMinBatteryPercentageAllowedToUpload** of 60% is a good starting point, though you might want to adjust it later.
|
||||
|
||||
With Group Policy, go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Delivery Optimization** and set **Allow uploads while the device is on battery while under set Battery level** to 60.
|
||||
|
||||
Using MDM, go to **./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/DeliveryOptimization/** and set [DOMinBatteryPercentageAllowedToUpload](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-deliveryoptimization#dominbatterypercentageallowedtoupload) to 60.
|
||||
|
||||
### Plentiful free space and large numbers of devices
|
||||
|
||||
Many devices now come with large internal drives. You can set Delivery Optimization to take better advantage of this space (especially if you have large numbers of devices) by changing the minimum file size to cache. If you have more than 30 devices in your local network or group, change it from the default 50 MB to 10 MB. If you have more than 100 devices (and are running Windows 10, version 1803 or later), set this value to 1 MB.
|
||||
|
||||
With Group Policy, go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Delivery Optimization** and set **Minimum Peer Caching Content File Size** to 10 (if you have more than 30 devices) or 1 (if you have more than 100 devices).
|
||||
|
||||
Using MDM, go to **./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/DeliveryOptimization/** and set [DOMinFileSizeToCache](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-deliveryoptimization#dominfilesizetocache) to 100 (if you have more than 30 devices) or 1 (if you have more than 100 devices).
|
||||
|
||||
### Lab scenario
|
||||
|
||||
In a lab situation, you typically have a large number of devices that are plugged in and have a lot of free disk space. By increasing the content expiration interval, you can take advantage of these devices, using them as excellent upload sources in order to upload more content over a longer period.
|
||||
|
||||
With Group Policy, go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Delivery Optimization** and set **Max Cache Age** to **604800** (7 days) or more (up to 30 days).
|
||||
|
||||
Using MDM, go to **./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/DeliveryOptimization/** and set [DOMaxCacheAge](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-deliveryoptimization#domaxcacheage) to 7 or more (up to 30 days).

## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
This section summarizes common problems and some solutions to try.
|
||||
|
||||
### If you don't see any bytes from peers
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't see any bytes coming from peers the cause might be one of the following issues:
|
||||
|
||||
- Clients aren't able to reach the Delivery Optimization cloud services.
|
||||
- The cloud service doesn't see other peers on the network.
|
||||
- Clients aren't able to connect to peers that are offered back from the cloud service.
|
||||
- None of the computers on the network are getting updates from peers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Clients aren't able to reach the Delivery Optimization cloud services
|
||||
|
||||
Try these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start a download of an app that is larger than 50 MB from the Store (for example "Candy Crush Saga").
|
||||
2. Run `Get-DeliveryOptimizationStatus` from an elevated PowerShell window and observe the [DODownloadMode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode) setting. For peering to work, download mode should be 1, 2, or 3.
|
||||
3. If the download mode is 99, it could indicate your device is unable to reach the Delivery Optimization cloud services. Ensure that the Delivery Optimization host names are allowed access: most importantly **\*.prod.do.dsp.mp.microsoft.com**.
|
||||
|
||||
### The cloud service doesn't see other peers on the network
|
||||
|
||||
Try these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download the same app on two different devices on the same network, waiting 10 - 15 minutes between downloads.
|
||||
2. Run `Get-DeliveryOptimizationStatus` from an elevated PowerShell window and ensure that **[DODownloadMode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode)** is 1 or 2 on both devices.
|
||||
3. Run `Get-DeliveryOptimizationPerfSnap` from an elevated PowerShell window on the second device. The **NumberOfPeers** field should be nonzero.
|
||||
4. If the number of peers is zero and **[DODownloadMode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode)** is 1, ensure that both devices are using the same public IP address to reach the internet (you can easily do this by opening a browser window and do a search for "what is my IP"). In the case where devices aren't reporting the same public IP address, configure **[DODownloadMode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode)** to 2 (Group) and use a custom **[DOGroupID (Guid)](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#group-id)**.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Starting in Windows 10, version 2004, `Get-DeliveryOptimizationStatus` has a new option `-PeerInfo` which returns a real-time list of potential peers per file, including which peers are successfully connected and the total bytes sent or received from each peer.
|
||||
|
||||
### Clients aren't able to connect to peers offered by the cloud service
|
||||
|
||||
Try a Telnet test between two devices on the network to ensure they can connect using port 7680. Follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install Telnet by running `dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient` from an elevated command prompt.
|
||||
2. Run the test. For example, if you are on device with IP 192.168.8.12 and you're trying to test the connection to 192.168.9.17 run `telnet 192.168.9.17 7680` (the syntax is *telnet [destination IP] [port]*. You'll either see a connection error or a blinking cursor like this /_. The blinking cursor means success.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> You can also use [Test-NetConnection](/powershell/module/nettcpip/test-netconnection) instead of Telnet to run the test.
|
||||
> **Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 192.168.9.17 -Port 7680**
|
||||
|
||||
### None of the computers on the network are getting updates from peers
|
||||
|
||||
Check Delivery Optimization settings that could limit participation in peer caching. Check whether the following settings in assigned group policies, local group policies, or MDM policies are too restrictive:
|
||||
|
||||
- Minimum RAM (inclusive) allowed to use peer caching
|
||||
- Minimum disk size allowed to use peer caching
|
||||
- Enable peer caching while the device connects using VPN.
|
||||
- Allow uploads when the device is on battery while under the set battery level

Active Directory-based activation requires updating the forest schema with `adprep.exe` on a supported server OS. After the schema is updated, older domain controllers can still activate clients.

The Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) can be used to perform volume activation using the Key Management Service (KMS). You can use VAMT to activate Generic Volume Licensing Keys, or KMS client keys, on products accessible to VAMT. GVLKs are the default product keys used by the volume-license editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server® 2012, and Microsoft Office 2010. GVLKs are already installed in volume-license editions of these products.

If you reinstall Windows® or Microsoft® Office 2010 on a computer that was initially activated using proxy activation (MAK, retail, or CSLVK (KMS host)), and have not made significant changes to the hardware, use this local reactivation procedure to reactivate the program on that computer.
|
||||
Local reactivation relies upon data that was created during the initial proxy activation and stored in the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) database. The database contains the installation ID (IID) and confirmation ID (Pending CID). Local reactivation uses this data to reapply the CID and reactivate those products. Reapplying the same CID conserves the remaining activations on the key.

VAMT proxy activation with retail keys is sometimes used when an IT department wants to centralize retail activations. VAMT can also be used when a computer with a retail version of the operating system is isolated from the internet but connected to the LAN. For volume-licensed products, however, the best method or combination of methods must be determined to use in the environment. For currently supported versions of Windows Pro and Enterprise, one of the following three models can be chosen:

|

- Multiple Activation Keys (MAK).

- KMS.

In the simplest terms, a MAK acts like a retail key, except that a MAK is valid for activating multiple computers. Each MAK can be used a specific number of times. The VAMT can help with tracking the number of performed activations with each key and how many activations remain.

|

Organizations can download MAK and KMS keys from the [Volume Licensing Service Center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618213) website. Each MAK has a preset number of activations, which are based on a percentage of the count of licenses the organization purchases. However, the number of activations that are available can be increased with the MAK by calling Microsoft.

In the core network, a centralized KMS solution is recommended.

Some administrators prefer to run both solutions to have the most flexibility, while others prefer to choose only a KMS-based solution for simplicity. Active Directory-based activation as the only solution is workable if all of the clients in the organization are running currently supported versions of Windows.

|
||||
|
||||
In a typical proxy-activation scenario, the VAMT host computer distributes a MAK to one or more client computers and collects the installation ID (IID) from each computer. The VAMT host computer sends the IIDs to Microsoft on behalf of the client computers and obtains the corresponding Confirmation IDs (CIDs). The VAMT host computer then installs the CIDs on the client computer to complete the activation. Using this activation method, only the VAMT host computer needs Internet access.

This type of activation can be performed on either Core Network or Isolated Lab computers. By default, volume license editions of Windows Vista, Windows® 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server® 2012, and Microsoft® Office 2010 use KMS for activation. GVLKs are already installed in volume license editions of these products. You don't have to enter a key to activate a product as a GVLK, unless you're converting a MAK-activated product to a KMS activation. For more information, see [Install a KMS Client Key](install-kms-client-key-vamt.md).

# Scenario 2: proxy activation
|
||||
|
||||
In this scenario, the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) is used to activate products that are installed on workgroup computers in an isolated lab environment. For workgroups that are isolated from the larger network, you can perform proxy activation of Multiple Activation Keys (MAKs), KMS Host keys (CSVLKs), Generic Volume License Keys (GVLKs) (or KMS client keys), or retail keys. Proxy activation is performed by installing a second instance of VAMT on a computer in the isolated workgroup. You can then use removable media to transfer VAMT Computer Information Lists (CILXs) between the instance of VAMT in the isolated workgroup and another VAMT host that has Internet access. The following diagram shows a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) proxy activation scenario:

# Update product status
|
||||
|
||||
After computers are added to the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) database, the **Update license status** function needs to be used to add the products that are installed on the computers. The **Update license status** can also be used at any time to retrieve the most current license status for any products in the VAMT database.
|
||||
To retrieve license status, VAMT must have administrative permissions on all selected computers and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) must be accessible through the Windows Firewall. In addition, for workgroup computers, a registry key must be created to enable remote administrative actions under User Account Control (UAC). For more information, see [Configure Client Computers](configure-client-computers-vamt.md).

The VAMT makes it easier to track the various keys that are issued to an organization. Each key can be entered into VAMT, and then the VAMT can use those keys for online or proxy activation of clients. The tool can also describe what type of key it's and to which product group it belongs. The VAMT is the most convenient way to quickly determine how many activations remain on a MAK.

# VAMT step-by-step scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
This section provides instructions on how to implement the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) in typical environments. VAMT supports many common scenarios. To get started, some of the most common scenarios are described here.

||||
|
||||
|Article |Description |
|
||||
|-------|------------|
|
||||
|[Scenario 1: Online Activation](scenario-online-activation-vamt.md) |Describes how to distribute Multiple Activation Keys (MAKs) to products installed on one or more connected computers within a network. Additionally, it also describes how to instruct these products to contact Microsoft over the Internet for activation. |
|
||||
|[Scenario 2: Proxy Activation](scenario-proxy-activation-vamt.md) |Describes how to use two VAMT host computers—the first one with Internet access and a second computer within an isolated workgroup—as proxies to perform MAK volume activation for workgroup computers that don't have Internet access. |
|
||||
|[Scenario 3: Key Management Service (KMS) Client Activation](scenario-kms-activation-vamt.md) |Describes how to use VAMT to configure client products for Key Management Service (KMS) activation. By default, volume license editions of currently supported versions of Windows and Microsoft Office use KMS for activation. |

- Windows 11 workflows that rely on **boot.wim** from installation media are blocked. An end to end deployment of Windows 11 using only WDS can't be performed.
|
||||
|
||||
- This change doesn't affect Windows 10, Windows Server 2019, and previous operating system versions.
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows Server 2022 workflows that rely on **boot.wim** from installation media show a non-blocking deprecation notice. The notice can be dismissed, and currently the workflow isn't blocked.
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows Server workflows after Windows Server 2022 that rely on **boot.wim** from installation media are blocked.
|
||||
|
||||
If you currently use WDS with **boot.wim** from installation media for end-to-end operating system deployment, and your OS version isn't supported, deprecated, or blocked, it's recommended that you use deployment tools such as MDT, Configuration Manager, or a non-Microsoft solution with a custom boot.wim image.
|
||||
If WDS is being used with **boot.wim** from installation media for end-to-end operating system deployment, and the OS version isn't supported, deprecated, or blocked, Microsoft recommends using deployment tools such as Microsoft Configuration Manager, or a non-Microsoft solution that uses a custom boot.wim image.

[Servicing profiles](/deployoffice/admincenter/servicing-profile) is a feature in the [Microsoft 365 Apps admin center](https://config.office.com/) that provides controlled update management of monthly Office updates, including controls for user and device targeting, scheduling, rollback, and reporting.

|

A [service profile](/deployoffice/admincenter/servicing-profile#compatibility-with-other-management-tools) takes precedence over other policies, such as a Microsoft Intune policy or the Office Deployment Tool. The servicing profile affects all devices that meet the [device eligibility requirements](#device-eligibility) regardless of existing management tools in your environment. So, if you're targeting a managed device with a servicing profile it's ineligible for Microsoft 365 App update management.
|

|

However, the device may still be eligible for other managed updates. For more information about a device's eligibility for a given [software update workload](windows-autopatch-update-management.md#software-update-workloads), see the Device eligibility section of each respective software update workload.
