Patching machine on premises using Intune

Copper Contributor

Hello everyone.

 

I need a advice from this group if it's free :).

What alternatives we have to patch the servers? A friend told me to use Intune but at this moment I didn't see anyone information related to that.

 

Thank you for your help

Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) is a free alternative. Intune requires a license per.
Intune manages and patches regular Windows clients, not servers. As "springtoaster" mentioned, WSUS is the traditional alternative on-premises. The way forward for patch management of servers connected to Azure (using Azure Arc) is this methodology: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/update-center/overview?tabs=azure-vms

It would require Azure Arc onboarding of the On-premises servers.
