    Microsoft updated the docs to make it clear, that when Telemetry is set to Zero, the deferral policies do not take affect and you make get the feature updates.

    Here are the links to the updated Docs

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-overview

    Important Devices on the Semi-Annual Channel (formerly called Current Branch for Business) must have their diagnostic data set to 1 (Basic) or higher, in order to ensure that the service is performing at the expected quality. If diagnostic data is set to 0, the device will be treated as if it were in the Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)(formerly called Current Branch or CB) branch. For instructions to set the diagnostic data level, see Configure the operating system diagnostic data level.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-configure-wufb

    Note Users will not be able to change this setting if it was configured by policy. Important Devices on the Semi-Annual Channel (formerly called Current Branch for Business) must have their diagnostic data set to 1 (Basic) or higher, in order to ensure that the service is performing at the expected quality. If diagnostic data is set to 0, the device will be treated as if it were in the Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)(formerly called Current Branch or CB) branch. For instructions to set the diagnostic data level, see Configure the operating system diagnostic data level.

Is there any News available.

 

I have set a Policy to my Clients that they dont check the MS Update Websites in order to stop the deployment. But this will lead to a lack of security. I want to use the normal semi annual channel with the acutal Build (1709 and not 1803) and defer the Installation like offered in the Policy. I have also set the telemetry to value 0 which is the same like 1 for Enterprise users.

 

Many thanks for any Feedback.

Thomas

We are still looking for more logs if anybody has them.
The one set of logs showed RS4 was available prior to the machine joining WUFB with the deferral policy.
Send me the logs or make them available for download please
Thanks,
Darrell

    Darrell -

     

    Are you referring to my logs? I built this virtual machine from scratch and joined the domain in early February, then set up deferral policy in Group Policy in late February. RS4 was released April 30, right?

     

    Is there an article somewhere about what logs to review and what to look for to confirm that deferral is working?
