There's "101 Ways to Skin a..." for updating Windows operating systems for enterprise customers = Intune/Desktop Analytics, Configuration Manager (Task Sequence, etc). Is there a 'preferred/recommended' of all these options (or the one that has the best success/least impact to the end user/most 'native' interaction w/ user)? Would be good to have a MS person review all these apps (go over the pros/cons/info/resources for each) in a video/publish for all customers to see. ....also it seems like the Desktop Analytics upgrade interface is cumbersome/not clear/hard to determine how many workstations are in 'pilot', 'production', which blockers/etc vs. the info/collections shown in Endpoint Configuration 'console'. Again, good to have someone from MS do a video on this.
JJNOE0928 thank you for the question.
First, I'd like to address that Desktop Analytics will be retired November 30th of 2022. Please see the following document for more information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/desktop-analytics/whats-new
Secondly, the use of Windows Update for Business polices deployed from Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager or Microsoft Endpoint Manager Intune are the recommended current best practices. For more information on how to setup your deployment rings and Windows Update for Business policy settings, please refer to these documents:
