When you enable Client Monitoring for a management group, you can configure it to forward error reports for Microsoft products to Microsoft. Error Transmission settings allow you to specify which error reports are sent to Microsoft and the additional diagnostic data that is included with the error reports.

  1. On the Error Transmission tab of the Global Management Server Group Settings - Privacy dialog box, click Filter.

  2. In the Error Forwarding Filters dialog box, select one or more of the options for sources of errors that you do not want forwarded to Microsoft, such as that come from specific computers.

  3. In the Criteria description text box, click specific, and provide the values for the criteria of errors that you do not want forwarded to Microsoft, such as contoso.com.
