Given that the Expedited Update feature in Intune is still not working reliably, does anyone have advice on an alternative solution in case we need to get an update installed quickly on all our Windows workstations?
For background, you can reference my Tech Community post here: Did expediting the 2024-08 Quality Updates fail for anyone else? | Microsoft Community Hub. For the past year, I've been expediting each month's B release to a small test group, and each month we see the same issue: the computers aren't rebooted after the update installs; instead, the update is repeatedly installed and reverted for days on end until the computer eventually restarts (or is restarted by an end user).
My support case was closed in May after I was told that the product team had found and fixed the issue, but the issue wasn't actually fixed.
I'm not from MS and since you've gone through their support, I assume this has been covered, but just in case, have you confirmed the Windows Update Health Tools is deployed to all devices? I thought it was included by default, but found that some of our machines were missing this.
Great question. Yes, I used an Intune remediation script to ensure the Update Health Tools was installed on all our workstations, and to install it on the few where it was missing.
