Exam MS-500 topic 4 question 15 discussion

seriously we're expected to know this level of detail for exam cert?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/compat/manage-the-privacy-of-data-monitored-by-telemetry-in-office#to-enable-file-obfuscation-by-using-the-registry:~:text=The%20following%20example%20enables%20file%20obfuscation,it%20on%20the%20monitored%20client%20computers.

Correct answer: C Enable file obfuscation in the registry of client computers. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/compat/manage-the-privacy-of-data-monitored-by-telemetry-in-office#to-enable-file-obfuscation-by-using-the-registry

The correct answer is B. Configure a registry entry on Server1. To prevent private details in the telemetry data from being transmitted to Microsoft, you can configure a registry entry on Server1. This can be done by creating a new registry entry with the name "AllowTelemetry" in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection The value of the "AllowTelemetry" registry entry should be set to 0, which disables the transmission of telemetry data to Microsoft. Option A, "run readinessreportcreator.exe," is not relevant to preventing private details in telemetry data from being transmitted to Microsoft. Option C, "configure a registry entry on the computers," would not be effective in this scenario because the telemetry data is being collected on Server1, not the client computers. Option D, "run tdadm.exe" is not relevant to preventing private details in telemetry data from being transmitted to Microsoft.

B. Configure a registry entry on Server1. To prevent private details in the telemetry data from being transmitted to Microsoft, you can configure a registry entry on the server that hosts the telemetry database (Server1) to control the data that is collected and sent. This can be done by modifying the registry keys that control the telemetry settings on the server. This will prevent private data from being sent to Microsoft while still allowing the server to collect and store telemetry data for your organization.

This is indeed some strange question. I would also normally go for C. However I think the question is really related to the "Office Telemetry Dashboard" Config which will be discontinued soon. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/compat/deploy-telemetry-dashboard

So what's the correct answer here? Anyone?

??????????????????

C is correct!

Correct answer. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/compat/manage-the-privacy-of-data-monitored-by-telemetry-in-office#to-enable-file-obfuscation-by-using-the-registry Out of Computer registry or GPO only REgsitry is available in options. So correct ans. To enable file obfuscation by using the registry### The following example enables file obfuscation in the registry of a client computer. Save this code sample as a .reg file and then run it on the monitored client computers - [HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\osm] "EnableFileObfuscation"=dword:00000001 OR To enable file obfuscation by using Group Policy settings### The following table describes the name and path of the Group Policy setting that enables file obfuscation. Setting name # Path Turn on privacy settings in Office Telemetry Agent # User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Office 2016\Telemetry Dashboard
