AriaUpdated - Many WUfB guides list "Share Usage Data - Required" CSP as a prerequisite. However, I believe this setting is identical to "System/AllowTelemetry."
Would you please confirm? Thank you

MicrosoftHi there, while client policies do not require any telemetry, the Windows Update for Business Deployment Service does require that you allow for Cloud Processing which is different than the telemetry level. Hope this helps! 🙂
Hey AriaUpdated, Thank you for the response. 🙂 However, I'm still unclear on my original question. I also read in the documentation that for Update Rings to function, you must have telemetry enabled.
I have "Allow WUfB Cloud Processing" = EnabledMy question is related to this prerequisite for Update Rings.
Have Telemetry turned on, with a minimum setting of Required.
Configure Telemetry as part of a Device Restriction policy for Windows 10 or later. In the device restriction profile, under Reporting and Telemetry, configure the Share usage data with a minimum value of Required. Values of Enhanced (1903 and earlier) or Optional are also supported.
What is the difference between setting Telemetry through Device Restriction > Share Usage Data and setting it through Settings Catalog > System > Allow Telemetry (This is the screenshot in my original post.)
Are the two settings the same thing? If you set them both, do they conflict with each other?
Many, many thanks.- AriaUpdatedCloud Processing must be enabled to use the Windows Update for Business Deployment Service (with Intune "Feature Update (preview)") You do *NOT* telemetry enabled for Update Rings to function, so long as you are on Windows 10, version 2004 and above. Please share the doc you found that in, it is out of date and I will go update it. 🙂 Hopefully this helps clarify: - Set cloud processing - decide whether or not to set allow telemetry (this is required for using Windows Update for Business Reports so I recommend it, but it is not required for using update rings)
- Hey Aria, I feel like you're unable to see my entire posts for some reason because your responses are skipping large sections of my content. Maybe because I'm using the advanced editor or something. I'll switch to the basic editor. The link to the documentation is in my post. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/windows-10-update-rings#prerequisites. It lists Telemetry as a requirement. I also asked, what the difference is between setting Telemetry through Device Restriction > Share Usage Data and setting it through Settings Catalog > System > Allow Telemetry. Are the two settings the same thing? If you set them both, do they conflict with each other? Are you able to see my pictures in my original post? Thanks!
