Telemetry Agent silent operation

Question

Hi,
We are planning to use the Telemetry agent on workstations running either Windows XP and Windows 7 and running versions of Office ranging from office 2003 to Office 2010.
Will the agent pop-up information to the screen when incompatibility are found?  Or will this discovery process be running silently? We want the users not to see anything on their screen when incompatibility is found.
Thanks for your help
Jean D.

Answer 1

Check the following steps on How telemetry data is collected
Users log on and trigger the Telemetry Agent scheduled task
Telemetry Agents send data to the shared folder
Telemetry data is processed to the database
IT Pros access telemetry data by using Telemetry Dashboard
Office Telemetry is new for Office 2013, so it’s not built into Office 2003, Office 2007, and Office 2010. For those clients, you deploy an agent that collects information about the installed add-ins and the most recently used documents. You won’t get application
event data for these clients like you do with Office 2013 clients, but you'll get inventory and usage data that helps you discover what is being used and likely important to your business.
