Research direction
Start by locating the script's Invoke-WebRequest call that produces the reported upload failure and compare it with the failing command shown in the issue. Reproduce the run on a workstation where Internet Explorer first-launch configuration is incomplete, then verify that the client completes its data upload without requiring that configuration.
