Office Telemetry - Issues & Queries

[News Bot]

Hi,

I observed following during the validation of the Office telemetry setup

(1) Windows XP and Office 2003 data available in the telemetry dashboard contains only inventory of files used, registered add-ins in the machine and system information. It did not report the potential issues that could cause while upgrading it to Office 2013

or information’s like VBA, data connections, OLE, ActiveX controls in the file.

So is it an issue in the setup or is it a behavior of Telemetry that it will not report above things for previous versions of Office 2003, 2007 & 2010.

(2) It could not analyze and report the MS Access DB files. Why is it removed? OMPM does the analysis of MS access files to a certain extent.

(3) Why OMPM issues like linked documents, charts, embedded documents are not captured by the telemetry?

(4) This tool works based on MRU list so the duration of assessment would be longer. Because MRU limits in Office 2003, 2007, 2010 are 9, 50 and 50 respectively. What are the ways to bring more files in MRU list without asking the user to open the file?
