Policy CSP - ADMX_EventForwarding

Tip

This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_EventForwarding/SubscriptionManager

This policy setting allows you to configure the server address, refresh interval, and issuer certificate authority (CA) of a target Subscription Manager.

  • If you enable this policy setting, you can configure the Source Computer to contact a specific FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) or IP Address and request subscription specifics.

Use the following syntax when using the HTTPS protocol:

Server=https://<FQDN of the collector>:5986/wsman/SubscriptionManager/WEC,Refresh=<Refresh interval in seconds>,IssuerCA=<Thumb print of the client authentication certificate>. When using the HTTP protocol, use port 5985.

  • If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, the Event Collector computer won't be specified.
