I blogged about this last year here
As best practice, the Upgrade Analytics script checks for far more than just injecting the workspace key and telemetry value.
FYI – This could also be managed in an SCCM Compliance setting.
Paul Fitzgerald – Platform PFE blogged about a non SCCM method here
Assess requirements for environment:
Barebones configuration requires Commercial ID, allow telemetry, and level of telemetry data to send
Optional – Create key for IEDataOptIn
Send data to Application Insights
Customer proxy setup

Simple method to update machines to send Windows telemetry data:
PowerShell script
From PowerShell as Administrator
Set-Location HKLM:
$registryPath = “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies”
$Name = “DataCollection”
$Name2 = “AllowTelemetry”
$CommercialID = “00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000”
$value = “2” # Values from 0-3 accepted
$vIEDataOptInPath = “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\DataCollection”
$IEOptInLevel = “2” # Values from 0-3 accepted
If ( (Test-Path $registryPath\$Name) ) { write-host -f green “Registry keys already exist” }
If ( ! (Test-Path $registryPath\$Name) )
{
New-ItemProperty -Path $registryPath -Name $name
New-ItemProperty -Path $registryPath -Name $CommercialID
New-ItemProperty -Path $vIEDataOptInPath -Name IEDataOptIn -Type DWord -Value $IEOptInLevel
New-ItemProperty -Path $registryPath\$Name -Name $name2 -Value $value `
-PropertyType DWORD -Force | Out-Null
Write-host -f green “Registry keys added for Telemetry”
}
