Information
This policy setting specifies whether the Windows Registration Wizard connects to Microsoft.com for online registration.
The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled.
Rationale:
Users in an enterprise managed environment should not be registering their own copies of Windows, providing their own PII in the process.
Impact:
Users are blocked from connecting to Microsoft.com for online registration and they cannot register their copy of Windows online.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration, set the following Device Configuration Policy to Enabled:
To access the Device Configuration Policy from the Intune Home page:
Click Devices
Click Configuration profiles
Click Create profile
Select the platform (Windows 10 and later)
Select the profile (Administrative Templates)
Click Create
Enter a Name
Click Next
Configure the following Setting
Path: Computer Configuration\System\Internet Communication Management\Internet Communication settings
Setting Name: Turn off Registration if URL connection is referring to Microsoft.com
Configuration: Enabled
Select OK
Continue through the Wizard to complete the creation of the profile (profile assignments, applicability etc.)
Note: More than one configuration setting from each of the Configuration profiles (ex: Administrative Templates, Custom etc.) can be added to each Device Configuration Policy.
Default Value:
Disabled. (Users can connect to Microsoft.com to complete the online Windows Registration.)
