# Enforcing compliance deadlines for updates
# Enforcing compliance deadlines for updates
>Applies to: Windows 10

Deploying feature or quality updates for many organizations is only part of the equation for managing their device ecosystem. The ability to enforce update compliance is the next important part. Windows Update for Business provides controls to manage deadlines for when devices should migrate to newer versions.
Deploying feature or quality updates for many organizations is only part of the equation for managing their device ecosystem. The ability to enforce update compliance is the next important part. Windows Update for Business provides controls to manage deadlines for when devices should migrate to newer versions.
The compliance options have changed for devices on Windows 10, version 1709 and above:

## For Windows 10, version 1709 and above
With a current version of Windows 10, it's best to use the new policy introduced in June 2019 to Windows 10, version 1709 and above: **Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts**. In MDM, this policy is available as four separate settings:
- Update/ConfigureDeadlineForFeatureUpdates
- Update/ConfigureDeadlineForQualityUpdates
- Update/ConfigureDeadlineGracePeriod
- Update/ConfigureDeadlineNoAutoReboot
- Update/ConfigureDeadlineForFeatureUpdates
- Update/ConfigureDeadlineForQualityUpdates
- Update/ConfigureDeadlineGracePeriod
- Update/ConfigureDeadlineNoAutoReboot
This policy starts the countdown for the update installation deadline from when the update is published, instead of starting with the "restart pending" state as the older policies did.

Further, the policy includes the option to opt out of automatic restarts until the deadline is reached by presenting the "engaged restart experience" until the deadline has actually expired. At this point the device will automatically schedule a restart regardless of active hours.

#### End-user experience
Once the device is in the pending restart state, it will attempt to restart the device during non-active hours. This is known as the auto-restart period, and by default it does not require user interaction to restart the device.

#### End-user experience
Before the deadline the device will be in two states: auto-restart period and engaged-restart period. During the auto-restart period the device will silently try to restart outside of active hours. If the device can't find an idle moment to restart, then the device will go into engaged-restart. The end user, at this point, can select a time that they would like the device to try to restart. Both phases happen before the deadline; once that deadline has passed then the device will restart at the next available time.

To enable the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) to function correctly, certain configuration changes are required on all client computers:
- An exception must be set in the client computer's firewall.
- A registry key must be created and set properly, for computers in a workgroup; otherwise, Windows® User Account Control (UAC) will not allow remote administrative operations.
- An exception must be set in the client computer's firewall.
- A registry key must be created and set properly, for computers in a workgroup; otherwise, Windows® User Account Control (UAC) will not allow remote administrative operations.
Organizations where the VAMT will be widely used may benefit from making these changes inside the master image for Windows.
**Important**  
This procedure only applies to clients running Windows Vista or later. For clients running Windows XP Service Pack 1, see [Connecting Through Windows Firewall](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=182933).

## Configuring the Windows Firewall to allow VAMT access
Enable the VAMT to access client computers using the **Windows Firewall** Control Panel:
1. Open Control Panel and double-click **System and Security**.
2. Click **Windows Firewall**.
3. Click **Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall**.
4. Click the **Change settings** option.
5. Select the **Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)** checkbox.
6. Click **OK**.
**Warning**  
By default, Windows Firewall Exceptions only apply to traffic originating on the local subnet. To expand the exception to apply to multiple subnets, you need to change the exception settings in the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, as described below.
1. Open Control Panel and double-click **System and Security**.
2. Click **Windows Firewall**.
3. Click **Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall**.
4. Click the **Change settings** option.
5. Select the **Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)** checkbox.

- On the **General** tab, select the **Allow the connection** checkbox.
- On the **Scope** tab, change the Remote IP Address setting from "Local Subnet" (default) to allow the specific access you need.

In certain scenarios, only a limited set of TCP/IP ports are allowed through a hardware firewall. Administrators must ensure that WMI (which relies on RPC over TCP/IP) is allowed through these types of firewalls. By default, the WMI port is a dynamically allocated random port above 1024. The following Microsoft knowledge article discusses how administrators can limit the range of dynamically-allocated ports. This is useful if, for example, the hardware firewall only allows traffic in a certain range of ports.
For more info, see [How to configure RPC dynamic port allocation to work with firewalls](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=182911).

## Create a registry value for the VAMT to access workgroup-joined computer
**Caution**  
This section contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure to back up the registry before you modify it; in addition, ensure that you know how to restore the registry, if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up, restore, and modify the registry, see [Windows registry information for advanced users](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=182912).

On the client computer, create the following registry key using regedit.exe.
1. Navigate to `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system`
2. Enter the following details:
**Value Name: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy**
**Type: DWORD**
**Value Data: 1**

To discover VAMT-manageable Windows computers in workgroups, you must enable network discovery on each client.

## Deployment options
There are several options for organizations to configure the WMI firewall exception for computers:
- **Image.** Add the configurations to the master Windows image deployed to all clients.
- **Group Policy.** If the clients are part of a domain, then all clients can be configured using Group Policy. The Group Policy setting for the WMI firewall exception is found in GPMC.MSC at: **Computer Configuration\\Windows Settings\\Security Settings\\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security\\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security\\Inbound Rules**.
- **Script.** Execute a script using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager or a third-party remote script execution facility.
- **Manual.** Configure the WMI firewall exception individually on each client.
- **Image.** Add the configurations to the master Windows image deployed to all clients.
- **Group Policy.** If the clients are part of a domain, then all clients can be configured using Group Policy.

- **Script.** Execute a script using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager or a third-party remote script execution facility.
- **Manual.** Configure the WMI firewall exception individually on each client.
The above configurations will open an additional port through the Windows Firewall on target computers and should be performed on computers that are protected by a network firewall. In order to allow VAMT to query the up-to-date licensing status, the WMI exception must be maintained. We recommend administrators consult their network security policies and make clear decisions when creating the WMI exception.
