Event details
To tag onto this comment -- for Autopatch, after we activate that in Intune, there is no impact from activation -- we need to populate the groups for Autopatch, before anything would be triggered from a patch perspective? We use Update Rings today and looking at doing some testing with Autopatch -- any suggestions on the best approach for that?
MicrosoftHi CaseyB,
Start here: Manage Windows Autopatch groups | Microsoft Learn which will walk through how to use and manage Autopatch groups. If you already had Windows Update for Business rings configured, those remain. You can elect to move devices into new rings, or continue using those existing rings. We are trying to reduce the barrier of entry as much as possible.
One of the biggest advantage of using Autopatch Groups is you can dynamically allocate devices across rings using percentages of a parent group. You don't need to define the group membership explicitly for every ring. That helps reduce admin overhead and makes management long-term a lot easier.
