Intune WUfB Feature Update deferral longer than 365 days
Is there a way, using Intune-managed WUfB, that Feature Updates can be deferred longer than 365 days? For instance, if we wanted to stay on Win10 1809, then in September move to only 19H1, is that p...

AriaUpdated Thank you for the quick response. Are there any concerns if co-management is thrown into the mix, like does this break the Intune functionality? We ran into inconsistent behaviors, so not sure if this isn't supported or we just had a configuration conflict. We were told this isn't officially supported (Co-management of machines and using Intune-based WUfB to manage Feature Updates longer than 365 days), which is why the setting was in preview. So just curious if there are other strategies or if this is still the best course forward.

Why not use the targetreleaseversion setting to choose the feature release you want on?

SusanBradleyGeek Yes, that's what we were testing, but we were told by an MS partner that that setting is unsupported and not recommended if machines were co-managed. So we want to move to Intune for patching, but this is a pretty big showstopper for us if we can't rely on this feature to both function and be supported for co-managed workstations. Maybe it just means we have to abandon co-management and only use Intune for those machines we want to take advantage of this feature. Too bad, this would be a great feature to have.

coleel Intune should respect that setting.

coleel I don't know who said what... but you can certainly use this feature for co-managed devices. Just expect a delay for the initial policies to take effect. (You can get around this by simply setting pause for the first week or so after the device is transitioned to co-management and feature update deployment is configured)
