Enterprise is the only version that allows you to disable most of this stuff. It's on by default on all other versions.

  Education is a subset of Enterprise.

  And if you look in the comments even for enterprise he chose a "customized install" to be presented with 15 pages of telemetry options (all default on even in enterprise). He selected "No" for all telemetry data (in the customized install that even most admins would trust is not necessary from MS rhetoric) and is still getting this activity.

    The article said 3 pages, with a total of around 15 options.

      Thanks for catching that. It is still worrisome that there is activity after disabling the 15 options (3 pages) and maybe more worrisome that you don't get that option in enterprise edition without a custom install. Working in biotech, pharma companies do not take well to external network connections. Although most will have whitelist firewalls, I would have expected the default in enterprise would be to not phone home.

        I agree that it's far too many, and far too much effort to completely disable.
