Why would there be the need to disable MFA and Conditional Access for the Microsoft Accounts ? That's the worst idea ever, and most likely THE reason we would not enroll to Autopatch service.

Hi sfarnik 

 

Thanks for your feedback on this item. For CA/MFA policies that target all users, Windows Autopatch currently requires our service accounts to be excluded from these policies to not prevent Windows Autopatch from connecting to your tenant. You can find more details here: Conditional access policies.

 

In our current solution, we have key controls in place for usage as well as audited sign-ins. Windows Autopatch maintains a separate conditional access policies to restrict access to these accounts. However, we are working on a solution to move away from Service Accounts. Stay tuned for an update on this!
