Deploy-TelemetryDashboard.ps1 can be used to set up Telemetry Dashboard on a computer that has Office 2013 installed.
Setting up Telemetry Dashboard requires installing SQL Server, installing the Office Telemetry Processor service, creating a
shared folder, and configuring the Telemetry Agent. This script automates all required configurations and provides an easy
and quick setup of Telemetry Dashboard. For more information about Telemetry Dashboard, please refer to this blog post:
Introducing Office Telemetry in the new Office.

To run this script, you must install Office Professional Plus 2013 or Office 365 ProPlus editions of Office 2013. You can
download Office 2013 from the Evaluation Center.

Step-by-step

1. Download Deploy-TelemetryDashboard.ps1 and TDDB.bak and save them to a local directory (e.g., C:\Temp).

2. Run Windows PowerShell as an Administrator and move to the folder where you saved the script.

3. Run the Set-ExecutionPolicy Windows PowerShell cmdlet to allow scripts to run.

4. Run Deploy-TelemetryDashboard.ps1.

5. The script will download SQL Server 2012 Express Edition and start SQL Server setup. Follow the SQL Server setup wizard
to complete SQL Server installation.

6. After SQL Server 2012 Express Edition is installed successfully, the script will install the Office Telemetry Processor
service.

7. If you run the script on a workgroup computer, the script will restore a telemetry database from TDDB.bak file. Specify
the full path and file name of the database backup file (e.g., C:\Temp\TDDB.bak).

(7.) If you run the script on a domain joined computer, the script will launch the Office Telemetry Processor settings wizard
to create a new telemetry database and a shared folder.

a. Select the installed SQL server name from the drop down list and click Connect.

b. Enter a new database name (e.g.TDDB), click Create, and then click Next to move to Shared Folder page.

c. Verify the pre-generated folder name shows up in the Path field and click Next.

d. Complete the wizard.

8. After the database and shared folder are created successfully, the script automatically configures the agent on your
computer and starts to report Telemetry data to the database.

9. After Telemetry data is reported back to the database successfully, the script will launch Telemetry Dashboard.

10. Go to the Getting Started worksheet in Telemetry Dashboard, and click Connect to Database.

11. Verify the SQL server and database name are correctly filled in, and then click Connect.

12. After connecting to the database, you will see Telemetry data reported from your Office 2013 local computer.

13. You can save the agent settings to a .reg file (agent.reg) before finishing the script. By running this .reg file on
other computers that run Office 2013, you will be able to collect Telemetry data from those computers.

For more information about the script, please refer to the blog post: Quickly set up Office Telemetry Dashboard on a
workgroup or domain-joined computer.
