      Hi, before GA we raised a support ticket as we could not see any reporting for Autopatch.  We were told this was because it was in Preview and at GA would appear under MEM -> Reports - Autppatch

       

      Now it is in GA, we still can't see reporting under MEM -> Reports for Autopatch

       

      Autopatch just doesn't exist in there.

        MikeC45 I was concerned about the same lack of reports & emails and opened a support case last week. The support engineer said that in order to receive Autopatch notifications, we must go into the Message Center / Preferences / Email tab and subscribe to notifications for the Microsoft 365 Suite. I complained that this is not what the docs say at all and asked the technician if they could be updated/clarified but I have not heard back in a few days.

        We didn't discuss the actual compliance reports, but I found a blurb somewhere in the docs that say "Update Compliance" is supported by AutoPatch. So I am presuming that we will have to gather the compliance reports ourselves using Update Compliance, which again is not ideal for a solution that MS is supposed to be fully managing. I would expect to see status emails about when patching is starting, and a summary of what the compliance is when it is complete.

        To get more visibility into this issue/request you may want to post a new topic to this forum and/or also open a support case. Please keep us posted on what they tell you because communication of how the patching is going is very important!
