FIGURE 15-6 If you don’t want your users installing preview builds of Windows <strong>10</strong>, set this policy.<br />

Setting Toggle User Control Over Insider Builds to Disabled removes the option for users to get<br />

preview builds. Note that this policy setting applies only to devices running the Pro, Enterprise, and<br />

Education editions of Windows <strong>10</strong>.<br />

The Allow Telemetry setting, also in this group, creates a fourth option that minimizes the amount<br />

of data sent to Microsoft as part of its normal diagnostic and usage data-collection policy. (The other<br />

three options are located in Settings, Privacy, Feedback & Diagnostics.) This minimal setting sends only<br />

data from the Malicious Software Removal Tool and Windows Defender (if enabled), as well as settings<br />

for the telemetry client.<br />

Managing Windows Update Delivery Optimization<br />

By design, Windows <strong>10</strong> creates a peer-to-peer delivery system that helps spread the load of delivering<br />

Windows apps and updates. In a managed environment, you might prefer to restrict this peer sharing<br />

to devices that are on the same local network or domain. You might also want to exercise control over<br />

the amount of upload bandwidth this feature can use.<br />

These and other policy settings are available under Computer Configuration > Administrative<br />

Templates > Windows Components > Delivery Optimization. Confusingly, the Help text for this setting<br />

specifies numeric values (0 through 3, with a setting of 0 disabling the feature), while the actual<br />

interface for changing this setting in the Group Policy editor uses a drop-down list whose entries<br />

correspond to those numeric values, as shown in Figure 15-7.<br />
