Manually Configuring Devices for Update Compliance (preview)

(Applies to: Windows 11 & Windows 10)

Important

• As of August 17, 2022, a new step needs to be taken to ensure access to the preview version of Update Compliance and the CommercialID is no longer required. For more information, see Configure Update Compliance settings through the Microsoft 365 admin center.
• This information relates to a preview feature that's available for early testing and use in a production environment. This feature is fully supported but it's still in active development and may receive substantial changes until it becomes generally available.

There are a number of requirements to consider when manually configuring devices for Update Compliance. These requirements can potentially change with newer versions of Windows client. The Update Compliance configuration script will be updated when any configuration requirements change so only a redeployment of the script will be required.

The requirements are separated into different categories:

1. Ensuring the required policies for Update Compliance are correctly configured.
2. Devices in every network topography must send data to the required endpoints for Update Compliance. 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 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

Update Compliance has a number of policies that must be appropriately configured in order for devices to be processed by Microsoft and visible in Update Compliance. Thee policies are listed below, separated by whether the policies will be configured via Mobile Device Management (MDM) or Group Policy. For both tables:

• Policy corresponds to the location and name of the policy.
• Value Indicates what value the policy must be set to. Update Compliance 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 Update Compliance. It will also detail a minimum version the policy is required, if any.

Mobile Device Management policies

Each MDM Policy links to its documentation in the configuration service provider (CSP) hierarchy, providing its exact location in the hierarchy and more details.

Policy	Data type	Value	Function
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.
System/ConfigureTelemetryOptInSettingsUx	Integer	1 - Disable Telemetry opt-in Settings	(in Windows 10, version 1803 and later) 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.
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 will not be sent and won't be visible in Update Compliance, showing # instead.
System/AllowUpdateComplianceProcessing	Integer	16 - Allowed	Enables data flow through Update Compliance's data processing system and indicates a device's explicit enrollment to the service.
System/AllowCommercialDataPipeline	Integer	1 - Enabled	Configures Microsoft to be the processor of the Windows diagnostic data collected from an Azure Active Directory-joined device.

Group policies

All Group policies that need to be configured for Update Compliance are under Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components\Data Collection and Preview Builds. All of these policies must be in the Enabled state and set to the defined Value below.

Policy	Value	Function
Allow Telemetry	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 Configure telemetry opt-in setting user interface.
Configure telemetry opt-in setting user interface	1 - Disable diagnostic data opt-in Settings	(in Windows 10, version 1803 and later) 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, otherwise the effective diagnostic data level on devices might not be sufficient.
Allow device name to be sent in Windows diagnostic data	1 - Enabled	Allows device name to be sent for Windows Diagnostic Data. If this policy is Not Configured or Disabled, Device Name won't be sent and won't be visible in Update Compliance, showing # instead.
Allow Update Compliance processing	16 - Enabled	Enables data flow through Update Compliance's data processing system and indicates a device's explicit enrollment to the service.
Allow commercial data pipeline	1 - Enabled	Configures Microsoft to be the processor of the Windows diagnostic data collected from an Azure Active Directory-joined device.

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.

Required services

Many Windows and Microsoft services are required to ensure that not only the device can function, but Update Compliance can see device data. It's recommended that you allow all default services from the out-of-box experience to remain running. The Update Compliance Configuration Script checks whether the majority of these services are running or are allowed to run automatically.
