As illustrated in Figure 1, WUfB has made it possible to shift our update-management workload to the cloud and introduce consistency in how we deploy updates to both domain-joined and managed devices.įigure 1. To simplify IT administration, we’re making modern management with Intune and Azure AD the default experience for new devices.
Most employee and vendor devices are still AD-joined and managed with Configuration Manager. In our environment, we use co-management strategies while moving all devices toward modern management with Intune and Azure AD-joined. Using co-management strategies to get to modern managementĪt Microsoft, there are currently 210,000 Active Directory domain-joined Windows 10 devices managed through System Center Configuration Manager and 30,000 Azure AD Windows 10 devices managed through Intune. It also provides centralized management and can be configured without requiring any on-premises infrastructure. We can also restart enforcement using group policy for domain-joined devices, and Microsoft Intune policies for cloud domain-joined or Azure AD-joined devices. With WUfB, we can control how and when our employees’ and vendors’ Windows 10 devices are updated, including update deferments. WUfB helps us keep Windows 10 devices at Microsoft up to date by connecting them directly to the Windows Update service.
Quality updates. Released every month, quality updates include security and reliability fixes.Feature updates. Released twice a year, feature updates include new operating system features, functionality, and bug fixes.With Windows 10, our updates are smaller and more frequent. For Windows 10, an operational approach to deploying major updates was needed-an approach that allowed processes to be continually refined with each release, reducing cost and complexity over time. It was time consuming, costly, and often disruptive for the business. We had to approach almost every major update release as a complicated, long-term project. Windows was traditionally serviced with major version releases every few years, service packs, and monthly updates. To streamline update management and eliminate the need for on-premises infrastructure to deploy updates, Microsoft Digital recently implemented Windows Update for Business (WUfB), a publicly available, cloud-based Windows update service that simplifies update management for Windows 10 devices. Rather than waiting years between version releases, Microsoft now spreads new features and the latest security defenses into a continual update process. Windows 10 features a continuous update delivery model with a faster update release cadence. The release of Windows 10 introduced Windows as a service and a new approach to servicing Windows and deploying updates.
