I have a question about Out-of-band (OOB) releases. Is there a way to receive an email notification if a OOB has been made available?
How does an IT department become aware of an urgent OOB that needs to be applied to Windows laptops.
Hi KamS We publish Out-of-Band update notifications to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center (https://admin.cloud.microsoft/?#/MessageCenter). You can filter notifications by Service (in this case Windows) to see all announcements including Out of Band Updates. If your M365 Admins have granted you access to the message center, you should be able to see all notifications. To programmatically get notified, we offer a Graph endpoint - the documentation for this starts here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/service-communications-api-overview?view=graph-rest-1.0

EricMoe is there a Entra role that will allow me to see the message centre?

There is a Message center reader role that can be assigned in the M365 Admin Center. Check out About administrator roles in the Microsoft 365 admin center - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn for details on all of the roles and how an admin can assign them.
