Prevent issues caused by updates
- I agree that this is challenging - and just did a blog post about the various places that you need to pay attention to and approach to consider in order to solve this challenge. Here is a link to the post: http://www.networkworld.com/article/3112340/software/it-takes-a-village-change-management-with-office-365.html.
Thank you for you reply.
Perhaps it makes no sense but I was asking if it would be possible to somehow configure the tenant to only receive updates, for example, once a month. Kind of the same way it is possible to https://mcpmag.com/articles/2014/09/11/office-365-update-tips-for-it.aspx.
That would allow me to know when the tenant is updated and antecipate any issues (ex, by having a first release tenant, as you suggest, or by having a first release user on that tenant and fix any issues before the tenant gets updated).
Given the worldwide rollout of features and the usual "rolling" schedule, I don't think it's feasible to have updates applied to your tenant on any kind of schedule, like "first of the month, give me everything that's available." If that were available, I would sign up my tenant!
One other frustration for me is that the tenant-level controls (on/off for your tenant) aren't available until the same time that the feature is rolled out to your tenant. Someone pleae correct me if I'm wrong.
