    They call msft a liar regarding telemetry and spying, then they take its word regarding turning it off :D

    What do you mean the option is there since th1? The option was there since the beginning, only setting telemetry to 0 does not really stop it, it is an illusion.
    I do not think this has changed in TH2.

    Does Enterprise edition activated via KMS will send HWID to MS servers ?

    Despite all the announcements about MS giving enterprise users the option to switch off telemetry completely on new 10586 build (although it doesn't recommend it...), a tiny thing has changed, and not for the better.
    The core setting is well known: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds > Allow Telemetry.

    On 10240:

    0. Off [Enterprise Only]
    1- Basic
    2. Enhanced
    3. Full


    A value of 0 indicates that no telemetry data from OS components is sent to Microsoft. Setting a value of 0 is applicable to enterprise and server devices only. Setting a value of 0 for other devices is equivalent to choosing a value of 1.

    On 10586:

    0. Security
    1. Basic
    2. Enhanced
    3. Full


    A value of 0 will send minimal data to Microsoft. This data includes Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) & Windows Defender data, if enabled, and telemetry client settings.
    This level is available only on Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education, and IoT Core.

    From zero data to minimal data: well, not quite a step ahead in privacy policy.

    KMS Telemetry can be disabled via Group Policy Editor. As I'm not running Enterprise at the moment I can't recall the name of the setting. Will look around the forum and post a link if found.

    Edit: Disable KMS Telemetry

    Changing telemetry to 0 does not stop data being sent. Sniff your traffic and you will see.
    Removing packages does not stop all upload to microsoft either.

    Unpack target iso then manage it with dism (located into Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit).

    So they just "clarified" the option :D
    because in 10240, even if you set it Off, it won't stop it completely

    Grazie molte signor Shewolf, at last I find DISM GUI 4.0 and I'll go to do the job at home, this evening.
