How will you solve the Windows Update settings battle?
How will you solve the Windows Update settings battle? In SCCM it is between SCCM policy and GPO.. now we have MDM policy. How we can ensure that the MDM policy wins over whatever is left on a migrated PC?

- Heidi Cheng - Is it safe to infer from this statement that co-management will not mean that an intune managed client where the windows update role has been moved to intune will not enable managed devices on a corporate network to make use of on-premise distribution points for update content? If so, that will make it very difficult to justify making this switch. Large corporations will never want thousands of devices going out through the outbound proxy to get that content when it could be acquired internally.

Hi Will,
Windows Updates for Business does leverage Delivery Optimization to better handle the content delivery that Intune MDM can configure. That said, we do understand that for some customers they still prefer the on-prem content distribution mechanism for many clients on the corpnet and co-management still would enable you leverage other workloads in Intune and have ConfigMgr SUM manage updates for these clients. So it's a decision for customers to make if they are ready to move this workload to Intune for a specific population.
- Heidi ChengGreat question. It's work in progress for MDM policy winning over others in general. For Windows Updates specifically, since co-management between ConfigMgr and Intune is a coordinated effort, once update workload is handed over from ConfigMgr to Intune, update policies will be from Intune MDM and no conflicts between the two.
- Look at 'Delivery optimization download mode' when defining Windows Update Policy
