Information

This policy setting controls whether the Connected User Experience and Telemetry service can automatically use an authenticated proxy to send data back to Microsoft.

The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled: Disable Authenticated Proxy usage.

Rationale:

Sending any data to a 3rd party vendor is a security concern and should only be done on an as needed basis.

Impact:

The Connected User Experience and Telemetry service will be blocked from automatically using an authenticated proxy.

Solution

To establish the recommended configuration, set the following Device Configuration Policy to Enabled: Disable Authenticated Proxy usage:

To access the Device Configuration Policy from the Intune Home page:

Configure the following Setting

Name: <Enter name>
Description: <Enter Description>
OMA-URI: ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/System/DisableEnterpriseAuthProxy
Data type: Integer
Value: 1

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:
