- We were in private preview using the react app for this. can this be made available in our tenant? the preview app was managed by device id vs assignment of groups (for example) which is tedious in a large organization. Furthermore, are applicable devices drillable or is it only available via graph query? this would help is testing/ring design for rollout.
David_GuyerMicrosoft
We are currently focusing on releasing this in Intune publicly, so we are not adding new customers to the preview at his time. Keep an eye on https://aka.ms/WindowsITPro for the release announcement soon!
- If a driver new driver is available for multiple devices, but is listed with a hard block for one device, will the system intelligently know not to deploy that driver to a device, but make it available to the other devices which don't have a known issue/hard block?
Thanks for participating in today's Windows updates in Intune: drivers, firmware, and Autopatch AMA! For reference, the panel covered this topic at around 20:00.
- Additionally, if a driver installs on a device and Windows registers issues, for example it has a Yellow bang instead of a successful install, will it automatically revert to the previous driver?
- I beleive we need a new subsciption to see this feature about the drivers in intune, thanks.
- Bryan KellerThe feature will be generally available soon, it does require an M365 Enterprise E3/E5 license.
- Thanks!
- Is there support from hardware manufacturers like Dell and HP to replace their inhouse solutions for driver and firmware management with the Intune solution?
- I'd like to have the Third Party Update Catalog for Intune from these manufacturers. It seems like Windows Updates drivers are older than the manufacturer offers on their website.
- David_GuyerWe have worked with most of the major manufacturers and driver publishers. So, you should see them in drivers policies. If you don't, it can be helpful to provide feedback to that driver manufacturer that you'd like to see the latest drivers sooner.
- Is the plan to remove the ability to update drivers through the Windows Update Ring policies in favour of the new approach?
- David_GuyerIn addition, you will need to ensure you haven't set the Drivers setting in Update Rings or Settings Catalog to "block", since this will prevent drivers from being installed. Someday, we might remove that driver setting from Update Rings, but for now, we'll have both until there's been a smooth transition to the new driver policies.
- Bryan Keller
We don't plan to remove that. However, the new solution offers a more complete drivers list with enhanced controls.
Welcome to today’s AMA: Windows updates in Intune: drivers, firmware, and Autopatch. Let's get started! Post your questions in the Comments. We will be answering questions in the live stream.
- When will we have the Public Preview?
- Bryan Keller
Do you mean for Drivers and Firmware in Intune?
- Looking forward to it.
- I mentioned this in another AMA, but could we get additional channels for the Office 365 updates in Autopatch? Semi-Annual Enterprise for instance would be great.
- Lior_BelaThank you, Anton, I will add it to our internal discussions. I suggest posting it on our community page - we leverage a lot of the feedback and asks from our community page http://aka.ms/autopatchcommunity
- What is the recommended approach for Driver Management enrollment of newly registered devices (considering both traditional SCCM OSD Hybrid Joined as well as AADJ Autopilot) to prevent environmental drift and ensure maintained control of drivers?
Thanks for participating in today's Windows updates in Intune: drivers, firmware, and Autopatch AMA! For reference, the panel covered this topic at around 15:30.
- Will there be columns/reports with Bios and TPM versions installed on systems?
- BIOS and TPM updates that are newer than what is already installed on your devices are available through the service. Drivers and firmware that have been approved for your managed devices will show up in the driver report.
