Fix text

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Location and Sensors -> "Turn off location" to "Enabled". If location services are approved by the organization for a device, this must be documented.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
