Microsoft 365 network connectivity test tool now with report sharing is released to preview
PaulAndrew Which apps send back telemetry for 365 Connectivity? Our security people have got a bit upset after hearing client devices report back where they located . Can 365 network connectivity work in any meaningful way when Windows 10 location services are turned OFF? However, the security team are willing to discuss having Windows 10 location services ON if I can assure them about which desktop apps are returning telemetry and location is turned off for most Store Apps.
Calum_L1 The location access information is documented at https://docs.microsoft.com/Microsoft-365/Enterprise/office-365-network-mac-location-services. I'll call out that locations are approximated to 300m x 300m accuracy before the leave the client and they are aggregated only to city accuracy for reporting. Today this comes from OneDrive only, but we are expanding to other clients.
You can disable use of Windows Location Services for this even if it's enabled on the clients on the Admin Center network connectivity page -> Settings -> Location opt-in.
You can use the LAN subnet model with all Windows Location Services disabled and use that to correlate network measurements with your office locations. Read about configuring that at https://docs.microsoft.com/Microsoft-365/Enterprise/office-365-network-mac-perf-overview#2-add-locations-and-provide-lan-subnet-information
Let us know if you have any other questions.
