If needed, filter on the content size for software updates in automatic deployment rules. For more information, see Configuration Manager and simplified Windows servicing on down level operating systems. Starting in version , the following options were added in the Date Released or Revised search criteria:. You can use Deployed as an update filter for your automatic deployment rules.
This filter helps identify new updates that may need to be deployed to your pilot or test collections. The software update filter can also help avoid redeploying older updates.
A property filter for Architecture is now available. Use this filter to exclude architectures like Itanium and ARM64 that are less common. Remember that there are bit x86 applications and components running on bit x64 systems. Unless you're certain that you don't need x86, enable it as well when you choose x When enabled, click Customize to set the recurring schedule.
The start time configuration for the schedule is based on the local time of the computer that runs the Configuration Manager console. Never set the evaluation schedule with a frequency that exceeds the software updates synchronization schedule. This page displays the software update point sync schedule to help you determine evaluation schedule frequency. ADRs can be scheduled to evaluate offset from a base day. For example, if Patch Tuesday actually falls on Wednesday for you, set the evaluation schedule for the second Tuesday of the month offset by one day.
Schedule evaluation : Specify the time that Configuration Manager evaluates the available time and installation deadline times. Software available time : Select one of the following settings to specify when the software updates are available to clients:. As soon as possible : Makes the software updates in the deployment available to clients as soon as possible. When you create the deployment with this setting selected, Configuration Manager updates the client policy.
At the next client policy polling cycle, clients become aware of the deployment and the software updates are available for installation. Specific time : Makes software updates included in the deployment available to clients at a specific date and time. When you create the deployment with this setting enabled, Configuration Manager updates the client policy.
At the next client policy polling cycle, clients become aware of the deployment. However, the software updates in the deployment aren't available for installation until after the configured date and time. Installation deadline : These options are only available for Required deployments.
Select one of the following settings to specify the installation deadline for the software updates in the deployment:. As soon as possible : Select this setting to automatically install the software updates in the deployment as soon as possible. Specific time : Select this setting to automatically install the software updates in the deployment at a specific date and time.
Configuration Manager determines the deadline to install software updates by adding the configured Specific time interval to the Software available time. The actual installation deadline time is the displayed deadline time plus a random amount of time up to two hours. The randomization reduces the potential impact of clients in the collection installing updates in the deployment at the same time.
The Disable deadline randomization in the Computer Agent group doesn't override the randomization behavior. For more information, see Computer Agent client settings. Delay enforcement of this deployment according to user preferences, up to the grace period defined in client settings : Enable this setting to give users more time to install required software updates beyond the deadline.
This behavior is typically required when a computer is turned off for long time, and needs to install many software updates or applications. For example, when a user returns from vacation, they have to wait for a long time as the client installs overdue deployments.
Configure this grace period with the property Grace period for enforcement after deployment deadline hours in client settings. For more information, see the Computer agent section. The enforcement grace period applies to all deployments with this option enabled and targeted to devices to which you also deployed the client setting. After the deadline, the client installs the software updates in the first non-business window, which the user configured, up to this grace period.
However, the user can still open Software Center and install the software updates at any time. Once the grace period expires, enforcement reverts to normal behavior for overdue deployments. User notifications : Specify whether to display notification in Software Center at the configured Software available time. This setting also controls whether to notify users on the clients. Deadline behavior : This setting is only configurable for Required deployments.
Specify the behaviors when the software update deployment reaches the deadline outside of any defined maintenance windows. The options include whether to install the software updates, and whether to perform a system restart after installation. For more information about maintenance windows, see How to use maintenance windows.
This applies only when the maintenance window is configured for the client device. If no maintenance window is defined on the device, the update of the installation and restart will always happen after the deadline.
Device restart behavior : This setting is only configurable for Required deployments. Specify whether to suppress a system restart on servers and workstations if a restart is required to complete update installation.
Suppressing system restarts can be useful in server environments, or when you don't want the target computers to restart by default. However, doing so can leave computers in an insecure state.
Allowing a forced restart helps to ensure immediate completion of the software update installation. Write filter handling for Windows Embedded devices : This setting controls the installation behavior on Windows Embedded devices that are enabled with a write filter.
Choose the option to commit changes at the installation deadline or during a maintenance window. When you select this option, a restart is required and the changes persist on the device. Otherwise, the update is installed, applied to the temporary overlay, and committed later. Software updates deployment re-evaluation behavior upon restart : Select this setting to configure software updates deployments to have clients run a software updates compliance scan immediately after a client installs software updates and restarts.
This setting enables the client to check for additional updates that become applicable after the client restarts, then installs them during the same maintenance window. On the Alerts page, configure how Configuration Manager generates alerts for this deployment. Review recent software updates alerts from Configuration Manager in the Software Updates node of the Software Library workspace. If you're also using System Center Operations Manager, configure its alerts as well.
Specify if clients should download and install the updates when they use a distribution point from a neighbor or the default site boundary groups. Specify if clients should download and install the updates from a distribution point in the site default boundary group, when the content for the software updates isn't available from a distribution point in the current or neighbor boundary groups.
Allow clients to share content with other clients on the same subnet : Specify whether to enable the use of BranchCache for content downloads. For more information, see BranchCache. BranchCache is always enabled on clients. This setting is removed, as clients use BranchCache if the distribution point supports it. If software updates are not available on distribution point in current, neighbor or site boundary groups, download content from Microsoft Updates : Select this setting to have intranet-connected clients download software updates from Microsoft Update if updates aren't available on distribution points.
Internet-based clients always go to Microsoft Update for software updates content. Specify whether to allow clients to download after an installation deadline when they use metered internet connections. Internet providers sometimes charge by the amount of data that you send and receive when you're on a metered connection.
Clients request the content location from a management point for the software updates in a deployment. Completing that transformation with Azure Update Management required the Manageability Team to achieve three main goals:.
Microsoft Digital enhanced reporting capabilities by creating a Power BI report that married compliance scan results with the necessary configuration management database details. This provided a view on both current and past patch cycle compliance, setting a point-in-time measure within the broader context of historic trends.
Engineers were now able to quickly and accurately remediate without wasting time and resources. The report also included day trend tracking and knowledge base KB -level reporting. The Manageability Team also gathered feedback from engineering groups to make dashboard enhancements like adding pending KB numbers on noncompliant servers and information about how long a patch was pending on a server.
With Configuration Manager consistently landing patches each cycle, engineering teams began to consistently meet the 95 percent goal. Finally, as a native Azure solution available directly through the Azure portal, Azure Update Management provided the flexibility and features needed for engineering teams to remediate vulnerabilities while satisfying these conditions at scale.
The traditional system typically required a patching team to coordinate patch deployment with the team that owned the application, all to ensure that the application would not be affected by recently installed patches. We implemented a number of changes to transition smoothly from that centralized patching service to using Azure Update Management as our enterprise solution.
Our first step was to deliver demos to help engineering teams learn to use Azure Update Management. If you don't do that, you won't see the updates in the console and the updates won't be available to deploy.
For more information about how to synchronize software updates, see Introduction to software updates in Configuration Manager. If you use more than one method, the Group Policy setting determines the final configuration. To enable Configuration Manager to manage Office updates on specific computers by using client policy, do the following steps:.
For more information, see About client settings in Configuration Manager. You can enable Configuration Manager to manage Office updates on specific computers by using Group Policy. You can apply this setting to multiple computers, an organizational unit OU , or a domain. Enable the Management of Microsoft Apps for enterprise policy setting. You can use the latest version of the Office Deployment Tool to configure Office to receive updates from Configuration Manager.
To configure this capability, use a text editor, such as Notepad, to modify the configuration file for the Office Deployment Tool. We recommend that you also set the value of the Enabled attribute to True in the Updates element, which is the default setting. The scheduled task Office Automatic Updates 2. That task initiates product configuration tasks such as channel management.
If it meets your business and technical requirements, we recommend updating your client devices automatically from the Office CDN. To enable a device to receive updates from the Office CDN instead of from Configuration Manager, use one of the following methods:. Disable the Management of Microsoft Apps for enterprise policy setting.
Change domain policy or Configuration Manager client settings require explicit Disable selection for Office COM to be successfully deregistered and restore default configuration. Instead, it contains information that Configuration Manager needs to be able to download and distribute the updated version of Office.
