Enabling Participation in CEIP and WER

MDT includes a new task sequence step that automates the configuration of participation in Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program and Windows Error Reporting. The Opt In to CEIP and WER task sequence step is used to automate this participation.

Note Although you can use MDT task sequences to enable CEIP and WER for Windows operating systems (only when the corresponding task sequence step is enabled), this is separate from the CEIP information gathered when you opt in to the MDT CEIP program. For more information about what information MDT sends when CEIP is enabled, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=255311.

The Opt In to CEIP and WER task sequence step is included in the following MDT task sequence templates but is disabled by default:

· Standard Client Task Sequence in LTI, ZTI with Configuration Manager 2012, and ZTI with Configuration Manager 2007 R3

· Standard Server Task Sequence in LTI, ZTI with Configuration Manager 2012, and ZTI with Configuration Manager 2007 R3

· Deploy to VHD Client Task Sequence in LTI

· Deploy to VHD Server Task Sequence in LTI

· User Driven Installation Task Sequence in UDI

The Opt In to CEIP and WER task sequence step runs the ZTIOptIn.wsf script as shown in the following example:

cscript.exe %SCRIPTROOT%\ZTIOptIn.wsf /CEIP:YES /WER:YES

The ZTIOptIn.wsf script has the following named parameters:

· CEIP. This parameter determines the participation in CEIP and can be one of the following:

· YES. This value specifies to enable participation.

· NO. This value specifies to not enable participation.

Note Any value other than YES is treated as NO, including not providing the parameter.

· WER. This parameter determines the participation in WER and can be one of the following:

· YES. This value specifies to enable participation.

· NO. This value specifies to not enable participation.

Note Any value other than YES is treated as NO, including not providing the parameter.
