Intune Update Ring settings not working as expected, what am I doing wrong?
I am hoping someone here can help me because I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. I need to install software updates on a set of Windows PCs on the third Thursday of each month. Afte...
Hi SebastiaanSmits.
Thank you for replying. I read that article you linked to before I built this update ring, and I thought I understood it but (based on what you are saying) I must still be missing something. Perhaps it would be better if I defined my use case for you, then you can advise me on what settings I should be using to get the desired outcome.
I have twelve mission critical computers at my company that I am allowed to patch on the third Thursday of each month at 6PM. Management has informed me that they are okay with me installing the updates automatically, but they want the person stationed in front of that PC to have the option to restart it at a time that is convenient for them.
Ideally, the updates would install silently while they work, then when they are done installing the user would get a popup telling them “Updates have installed, please restart your PC later”. Again, this needs to happen specifically on the third Thursday of each month at 6PM (or shortly after).
Can you tell me how to configure my update ring to achieve this?

I created an Update Ring with these settings (except I chose "third week" instead of "every week"). We'll see if it works this time.
So, all my computers just updated! This is INCREDIBLY frustrating!!! I have set a date and a time for the updates (look at my screenshot below), the update ring has been successfully applied, why are these computers updating early?! There has to be something I am missing but I don't know what it is. Why allow you to set a date and time, then just ignore it.
Can ANYONE tell me what I am doing wrong here?
