Event details
We have deployed around 70 Intune/Autopilot devices. The issue I am encountering is how to schedule the reboot of these devices after Windows updates have been installed. Customers ignore the Your device requires a reboot icon in the System Tray (Or miss it completely). What is the best method for notifying a user that a reboot is required and even potentially forcing a countdown. These devices are full AAD joined running Windows 10 Enterprise.
- You want to use deadlines which I believe has been the default for some time. The 'we're gonna reboot you in X minutes' warning I don't think exists yet but I know it's feedback they've heard before.
- Agree with Rob, in update profile you can set "Auto reboot before deadline". Have deployed a proactive remedeation to alert user with a Toast notification if machine has not beed rebooted in X Days, (we use 5). Search for "a toast notification to display warning if device not rebooted" and you will find a good example of the script.
- Thank you both for pointing me in a direction.
Use Windows Update for Business and specifically the Deadline settings, I would say. Then people will be forced to reboot their devices after x amount of days.
