Re: Windows Autopatch - Generally Available!
MikeC45 I was concerned about the same lack of reports & emails and opened a support case last week. The support engineer said that in order to receive Autopatch notifications, we must go into the Message Center / Preferences / Email tab and subscribe to notifications for the Microsoft 365 Suite. I complained that this is not what the docs say at all and asked the technician if they could be updated/clarified but I have not heard back in a few days. We didn't discuss the actual compliance reports, but I found a blurb somewhere in the docs that say "Update Compliance" is supported by AutoPatch. So I am presuming that we will have to gather the compliance reports ourselves using Update Compliance, which again is not ideal for a solution that MS is supposed to be fully managing. I would expect to see status emails about when patching is starting, and a summary of what the compliance is when it is complete. To get more visibility into this issue/request you may want to post a new topic to this forum and/or also open a support case. Please keep us posted on what they tell you because communication of how the patching is going is very important!2.8KViews0likes3CommentsNot Ready - Must be managed by Intune
Hi, I am starting testing with AutoPatch and it says that my devices are not managed by Intune, but they look fine in the MEM portal. I was able to initiate a remote restart on them to confirm communication and I also successfully deployed a Win32 app to to the devices. Do you have any suggestions on on how I can get these devices into 'Ready' status?Solved3.3KViews0likes6CommentsFeature Update Preview - how is it going?
Just curious what feedback you are getting from customers on the Feature Update Preview feature in Intune. I've seen mixed results during my testing (existing machine was targeted for the policy for Win10 2004 but didn't have its TargetReleaseVersion populated in the registry and updated incorrectly to 20H2), and also posts online where people have to pause the updates, etc. In general, what challenges are you hearing and what are you actively working on with this feature. How long do you estimate until it becomes GA?770Views1like1CommentWUfB + Third Party Patches
Hi guys, Are there any plans to add support for third party patches (i.e. those published from PatchMyPC) via WUfB? Right now, the only way to deploy Third Party Patches that I'm aware of is via co-management. We deploy security updates from WUfB and Third Party patches using our on-prem ConfigMgr environment. This works, but the user experience isn't great since we'll get notifications from WUfB for installs & reboots and separate notifications from Software Center for the other updates & reboots. Depending on your answer to my first question, are there plans to unify this experience? Thank you!1.4KViews0likes2CommentsWUfB Feature Updates & Co-Management
Hi guys, Do you have a timeline on when this known issue will be fixed? "...when you co-manage devices by using Configuration Manager and Intune, there is a limitation where feature update policies may not immediately take effect. This limitation causes devices to update to a later feature update than the one that's configured in Intune. This limitation will be removed in a future update to Configuration Manager" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/mem/intune/create-feature-update-hold-co-managed-devices752Views0likes1CommentMoving from ConfigMgr to WUfB and GPO cleanup
Hello! We are co-managed and are in the process of testing out WUfB workloads. We have a leftover GPO that is setting the "Configure Automatic Updates" policy to Disabled. If I manually remove the corresponding reg key on a test workstation then WUfB seems to work as expected. Can you confirm that removing this GPO/key is necessary for WUfB to work properly and also recommend any other GPOs/settings/reg keys that could conflict with the policy we're setting in Intune & proper WUfB operation? Also, would re-enabling/removing the "Configure Automatic Updates" policy have any other impact on our existing SCCM environment? (We do still want to use dual-scan to install third party patches via ConfigMgr). Thanks!Solved4KViews0likes2Comments
