Description
This policy is deprecated and will only work on Windows 10 version 1809. Setting this policy will have no effect for other supported versions of Windows.
This policy setting, in combination with the Allow Telemetry and Configure the Commercial ID, enables organizations to configure the device so that Microsoft is the processor of the Windows diagnostic data collected from the device, subject to the Product Terms at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2185086.
To enable this behavior:
1. Enable this policy setting
2. Join an Azure Active Directory account to the device
3. Set Allow Telemetry to value 1 - Required, or higher
4. Set the Configure the Commercial ID setting for your Update Compliance workspace
When these policies are configured, Windows diagnostic data collected from the device will be subject to Microsoft processor commitments.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, devices will not appear in Update Compliance.
