MicrosoftOn "1. Apply automatic update":
"If we enable Get other updates with Windows Updates, this process will update Office?" > No, it will not.
"Set Admin.Microsoft.Com to use Current Channel" > This setting only applies to unmanaged devices, so all your Intune devices would ignore this setting. Also this setting only sets the udpate channel, it does not enforce updates.
"steps a-d" > These steps are sufficient assuming that most of your devices are managed by Intune. If you have a bunch of personal/BYOD devices connected to your tenant, these setting will not apply.
For these scenarios, using Servicing profiles is the more comprehensive solutions, as for servicing profile it doesn't matter of the device is managed by Intune or not.
