Microsoft tells admins to autoreview your Autopatch alerts or autolose the service
Redmond is also rolling out new Autopatch features that are in public preview and will be generally available May 1. Among them is Windows Autopatch Groups, letting IT admins create their own sets of deployment rings – the way Autopatch staggers updates to enable administrators to ensure endpoints are compliant – and the cadence of deployments.
They can better manage updates using the Groups feature when creating new Windows update deployments and provide insights into update compliance, deployment status, and update failure for Autopatch's existing reporting functions.The new capabilities are part of Microsoft's plan to give admins the tools to oversee the process and make changes even though Autopatch automates the actual patching of the Windows PCs, servers, and other endpoints.
A year ago, Bela wrote that the"development of Windows Autopatch is a response to the evolving nature of technology. Changes like the pandemic-driven demand for increased remote or hybrid work represent particularly noteworthy moments but are nonetheless part of a cycle without a beginning or end." Installing the myriad patches that Microsoft puts out every month takes time and resources, which can slow down patching and lead to security and productivity issues. Automating the process can help alleviate some of the time pressures and accelerate patching, Bela wrote. ®
