Software Updates

An unexpected update to the Windows 11 Feature Update deployment series, looking at how to tag users instead of devices, and an improved way to get the readiness report data, and other performance improvements. What a day.

As a migration to Windows 11 is fast upon us, I thought I’d help your devices on their way into understanding whether they will support Windows 11 and what risks you may encounter with the update, by forcing devices to evaluate their readiness states.

Fancy letting your end users select what day of the week they get their device updates allowing them to be truly empowered but still ensure a level of device security, sure you do.

The final part in this series looks at how to bring everything together under a single, repeatable script, allowing for the capture of readiness state, the tagging of devices to support the distribution of Windows 11 23H2.

Using the data captured from a Windows 11 Feature Update Readiness report to successfully tag device attributes to device objects, and group them based on risk, we now look at how to deploy Feature Updates to these devices in a controlled manner.

Having looked into capturing the Feature Update Readiness data for Windows 11 23H2 for our Windows devices, we can now use this risk based data to tag them with their associated risk, grouping them together to allow for sensible Feature Update profile assignment.

So you’ve pulled the trigger on managing macOS devices in Microsoft Intune, and with this year being the year of macOS for Microsoft (this seems like an oxymoron), you should probably look at how to handle software updates.

With Windows 10 support coming to an end sooner than you’d expect, in the first part of this series we look at ways to capture Feature Update Readiness Report data using PowerShell and Graph to help with the rollout of the new Windows 11 operating system.

It’s been a while since we’ve looked at deploying Microsoft and Windows Updates using Microsoft Intune, this time we look at different ways to phase our deployments across a device estate.
