Updating Edge via Software Update (SCCM)
RazaanKhoja check out the roadmap link and it explains how managed updates will be handled:
https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2019/07/16/microsoft-edge-enterprise-evaluation-roadmap
"Customers will be able to control the flow of updates, either by leveraging our general updating mechanisms and using policies to pause updates at a particular version while testing compatibility with a small set of pilot users, or by using the provided offline installers (MSIs and PKGs) to push updates directly to their managed devices on their own schedule.
For those customers using System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) or Microsoft Intune, we’re working to make the deployment and configuration experience as easy as possible. We will also work with third parties, ensuring that deploying and configuring Microsoft Edge is a great experience with those tools as well."
lexcyn Are there plans to make local update agent work with an internal update file share? Like O365 updates (https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/deployoffice/deploy-office-365-proplus-from-a-local-source).
I couldn't find anything related to an internal update server so I don't think that is an option. You'd have to either use SCCM/WSUS or the automatic updates.
lexcyn Does SCCM/WSUS really delivers UPDATES for Edge?
From what I understand SSCM is only for initial deployment. Right?
lexcyn Thanks! I actually missed that!
Hello,
Can you clarify this :
"Customers will be able to control the flow of updates, either by leveraging our general updating mechanisms and using policies to pause updates at a particular version while testing compatibility with a small set of pilot users, or by using the provided offline installers (MSIs and PKGs) to push updates directly to their managed devices on their own schedule."
Ok, let's assusme that I deploy the enterprise MSI. By default, edge will be automatically updated. Is this correct ?
I checked the policies and cannot see any setting to pause update at a particular version.
Google Chrome has the GPO setting : "Target version prefix override" but I do not find equivalent setting for Edge.
And anyone else looking for how to control updates - please see the following Edge deployment guide: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-update-policies
This section explains how to enable or disable auto updates via the built in updater: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-update-policies#updatedefault
If you're using SCCM to push updates manually, you would want to disable the built in updater to control the version in your environment.
