Unable to enable Update Management
Hi
I'm trying to enable Update Managment on an Azure VM. But the select boxes are not populating.
Any idea what could be wrong.
Hi,
Yes Update Management can be deployed in certain regions only. You can onboard though any Azure VM (not matter the region) to Update Management solution even if they are in different regions. Best is once you have deployed Update Management to go to the Automation account blade of where Update Management is deployed and from there you have Update Management blade. From that blade you can onboard any Azure VM in your tenant.

Might have stumbled on the answer here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/how-to/region-mappings
North Europe isn't on the mapping list.

Hi, thanks.
Will try that, saw yesterday that Maurice made a blogpost about Patch Management where he mention this as well.
