    Hey all,

    „Let’s dive into hotpatching for Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows Server 2025 machines connected to Azure Arc!“ Does this part with Arc belongs to Windows 11 as well? Or just Server? I do hope only Server…

    thx

      Hotpatching via Azure Arc applies only to Windows Server 2025—not Windows 11, version 24H2.

    Will there be an option soon that hotpatches can be delivered by WSUS after Azure Arc Activation? We manage 20000 Servers onprem and rely on ConfigMgr Update/App Management/Reporting and there are no plans to move to Azure Arc/Update Management in near Future due to missing features/integrations into existing systems. Thanks!

      Currently, hotpatching requires Azure Arc-enabled servers to manage patch deployment. We understand that many customers rely on WSUS and ConfigMgr for update management and reporting, and we are actively evaluating ways to improve flexibility in how hotpatches are delivered.

      We’d love to learn more about your specific integration needs. Can you share which features or integrations are critical for your environment? Your feedback helps shape our roadmap as we explore future expansion of hotpatching beyond Azure Arc.

        For us its only important that we could get the hotpatch updates through the WSUS Channel so that we can distribute them with ConfigMgr. The missing features that prevents us to go from ConfigMgr to Azure Arc Managment are basicaly that Arc is not ConfigMgr feature side (Missing App/Package Mangement, Customizeable Hardware/Software Inventory, Reporting Capabilities, Compliance Settings, Task Sequences, Software Center, etc.) 😉. The missing integrations are related to our big onprem server reporting and maintenance window management.
