AMA: Windows Update for Business

Hi Folks - I'd recommend you take a look at the Windows Update for Business deployment service: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/announcing-the-windows-update-for-business-deployment-service/ba-p/2178419 This service represents the evolution of WUfB with a focus on full control of content delivered from Windows Update. Today it supports Feature Updates and Expediting quality updates, but you can learn more about our plans around Drivers and Firmware here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/introducing-a-new-deployment-service-for-driver-and-firmware/ba-p/2176942 When we think about full control, this definitely includes the ability to postpone and/or skip updates. 🙂 If you have other features you'd like to see added, please let us know!

Hello, we have started adding policies that use Windows Update for Business Deployment service, such as the Feature update, and Expedited quality update policies. These have good basic reports for success, install status, and errors with recommendations. We are looking at adding support for more update types and are thinking of having very similar reports for these, as well as improved content deployment controls for those update types.
