Updates now optional, but Azure security is not
Microsoft has given administrators additional flexibility in managing Windows updates and clarified what it meant by stating:"Microsoft will require MFA for all Azure users."to the Windows Update for Business deployment service is due to reach general availability by May 24. It allows feature updates to be offered as optional rather than force-installed.
It's a small thing, but it will make the lives of administrators tasked with managing a fleet of Windows devices easier. Administrators can now offer feature updates as optional, enabling users to choose when to install the update. When it's time to mandate the deployment, the administrator simply needs to make the update required.
Tightening up security is no bad thing, and Microsoft is to be applauded for its action. However, its implementation and communication left something to be desired as customers filled the feedback forums with alarm.
Shahid said:"Microsoft is still gathering customer input for certain scenarios such as break-glass accounts and other special recovery processes."
