Ok so I was managing my Microsoft patches through Intune. A while back Microsoft sent out this message….
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployOffice/other/devices-updating-monthly-enterprise-channel
I believe I had opted out but recently our machines have started updating to the Monthly channel.
So if this is true that we are now moved to Monthly channel how do we control it moving forward?
I have done some of my own research and came across the following but still not sure what is what.
If you log in here - https://admin.microsoft.com
Go to settings, org settings, Office installation updates. You have some items here.
If you click on Organization profile in the same window you have "Release preferences"
If you log in here - https://config.office.com
Go to servicing, Monthly enterprise, settings. You can choose criteria, rollout, etc
Also I know in the past to troubleshoot a single device the reg keys you wanted to look at were:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\officeupdate
Updatebranch
updatedeadline
updatetargetversion
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration
CDNBaseURL
ClientversionToReport
UpdateChannel
Though I think now that it is managed from https://config.office.com
this is the new key to look @
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\cloud\office\16.0\Common\officeupdate
instead of the old one
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\officeupdate
Any input on the above would be great.

@Martin Nothnagel I am interested in this as well.
We have just started using Intune and targeting the Current Channel.
config.office.com had been set up and there is a Monthly Enterprise Channel servicing profile configured.
We are finding a lot of machines are reverting to the Monthly Channel.
Is it only possible to have the Monthly Enterprise Channel as the Servicing option in config.office.com?
Sorry can you please confirm what MEC and SAEC means?
Thanks in advance.
