ESM Security Setting - Intune Telemetry
Description: This policy enables Windows Health Monitoring on devices managed by Microsoft Intune. When turned on, it allows Microsoft to collect event data from devices to help identify performance issues, startup delays, and other common problems. This data powers Endpoint Analytics, which provides insights and recommendations to improve device health and user experience. This setting is part of a device configuration profile in Intune and applies to Windows 10 and later devices enrolled in MDM.
Why It's Important: This setting helps keep devices running smoothly by sending performance and health data to Microsoft. That way, IT teams can spot problems early—like slow startups or app crashes—and fix them faster. SHIELD enables this policy to give organizations better visibility into device health and performance. It’s like having a check-up system that quietly monitors your devices and alerts you when something needs attention.
