WUfB - Update Baseline / Best Practise
We use WUfb about more than one year.
Now we want to work with "Deadline"
But there are a lot (?) of unknow unsure...
We found this "https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=101056" with a lot of settings (Update from: 16.09.2020)
and the article from AriaUpdated --> here
What we want:
- Do not Auto-restart during the Work hours (08:00 - 17:00)
- a lot of User Notification (annoy the user to restart his device)
- do not Auto-restart without inform the user
in the attachmend is our Policy (censored)
What is the "best practise" for our use case?
Thank for your Help! 🙂
A new article has recently been published that answers just that question, The Windows Update policies you should set and why - Microsoft Tech Community
In short, for what you've described, the default settings + configuring the deadline settings should give you what you are looking for. Default settings utilize Active hours, and even allow end users to specify their own active hours, or let Intelligent Active Hours find or recommend great settings for each user. And our default notifications provide a daily reminder until the deadline+grace period are reached and then provide a couple more reminders before restarting.
