How to turn off or disable 365 Servicing Profiles?

DannyBoyPipes The update settings are getting updated regularly. Now under the "Cloud Update" section in config.office.com there is option to pause only in Monthly channel and not in Current Channel. Only option i could find is to add all devices to the exclusion group in Tenant settings. Enabling cloud update is "1 click" , but disabling is a pain.

In M365 admin center, select Servicing, confirm "Paused" and uncheck all channels except "Monthly Enterprise Channel", ensure that "Devices selected to add to profile is 0 devices and click "Save".

To disable or turn off Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise (previously known as Office 365 ProPlus) servicing profiles, you need to remove the assignment of the servicing profile from the SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager).

Here is how you can do it:

1. Open the SCCM Console on the server.
2. Navigate to "Software Library" in the left pane.
3. Under "Office 365 Client Management," click on "Servicing Profiles."
4. In the middle pane, select the servicing profile that you want to disable.
5. Click on "Remove Office 365 Servicing Policy" in the top ribbon.
6. In the confirmation prompt, click "Yes" to remove the servicing policy.
7. After removing the servicing profile, update the SCCM policy on client machines by running the following command in an elevated Command Prompt or PowerShell:

gpupdate /force

This will refresh the group policies on the client machines and apply the changes.

Once you remove the servicing profile, the enrolled computers should no longer be subject to the update schedule defined in the servicing profile. If you want to stop the automatic updates altogether, you can configure the update settings for Microsoft 365 Apps directly from the Office applications.

Keep in mind that disabling servicing profiles will stop the automatic update process, and you will need to manually manage the updates for Microsoft 365 Apps on each client machine. Be sure to test and plan your update strategy accordingly to ensure your systems are up to date and secure. The text and the steps are the result of various AI's put together.
