Each client has a cache and acts as an alternate source for content that devices on its own network request. Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and System Center Configuration Manager can use BranchCache to optimize network bandwidth during update deployment, and it’s easy to configure for either of them. BranchCache has two operating modes: Distributed Cache mode and Hosted Cache mode. - -- Distributed Cache mode operates like the [Delivery Optimization](waas-delivery-optimization.md) feature in Windows 10: each client contains a cached version of the BranchCache-enabled files it requests and acts as a distributed cache for other clients requesting that same file. - - >[!TIP] - >Distributed Cache mode is preferred to Hosted Cache mode for Windows 10 updates to get the most benefit from peer-to-peer distribution. - -- In Hosted Cache mode, designated servers at specific locations act as a cache for files requested by clients in its area. Then, rather than clients retrieving files from a latent source, the hosted cache server provides the content on its behalf. - -For detailed information about how Distributed Cache mode and Hosted Cache mode work, see [BranchCache Overview](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dd637832(v=ws.10).aspx). - -## Configure clients for BranchCache - -Whether you use BranchCache with Configuration Manager or WSUS, each client that uses BranchCache must be configured to do so. You typically make your configurations through Group Policy. For step-by-step instructions on how to use Group Policy to configure BranchCache for Windows clients, see [Client Configuration](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dd637820%28v=ws.10%29.aspx) in the [BranchCache Early Adopter’s Guide](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dd637762(v=ws.10).aspx). - -Whether you use BranchCache with Configuration Manager or with WSUS, each client that uses BranchCache must be configured to do so.

For step-by-step instructions on how to use Group Policy to configure BranchCache for Windows clients, see Client Configuration in the BranchCache Early Adopter’s Guide. - -In Windows 10, version 1607, the Windows Update Agent uses Delivery Optimization by default, even when the updates are retrieved from WSUS. When using BranchCache with Windows 10, simply set the Delivery Optimization mode to Bypass to allow clients to use the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) protocol with BranchCache instead. For instructions on how to use BranchCache in Distributed Cache mode with WSUS, see the section WSUS and Configuration Manager with BranchCache in Distributed Cache mode. - -## Configure servers for BranchCache - -You can use WSUS and Configuration Manager with BranchCache in Distributed Cache mode. BranchCache in Distributed Cache mode is easy to configure for both WSUS and System Center Configuration Manager. - -For a step-by-step guide to configuring BranchCache on Windows Server devices, see the [BranchCache Deployment Guide (Windows Server 2012)](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj572990) or [BranchCache Deployment Guide (Windows Server 2016)](https://technet.microsoft.com/windows-server-docs/networking/branchcache/deploy/branchcache-deployment-guide). - -In addition to these steps, there is one requirement for WSUS to be able to use BranchCache in either operating mode: the WSUS server must be configured to download updates locally on the server to a shared folder. This way, you can select BranchCache publication for the share. For Configuration Manager, you can enable BranchCache on distribution points; no other server-side configuration is necessary for Distributed Cache mode. - ->[!NOTE] ->Configuration Manager only supports Distributed Cache mode. - - -## Related topics - -- [Update Windows 10 in the enterprise](waas-update-windows-10.md) -- [Overview of Windows as a service](waas-overview.md) -- [Prepare servicing strategy for Windows 10 updates](waas-servicing-strategy-windows-10-updates.md) -- [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) -- [Assign devices to servicing branches for Windows 10 updates](waas-servicing-branches-windows-10-updates.md) -- [Optimize update delivery for Windows 10 updates](waas-optimize-windows-10-updates.md) -- [Configure Delivery Optimization for Windows 10 updates](waas-delivery-optimization.md) -- [Manage updates for Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise](waas-mobile-updates.md) -- [Manage updates using Windows Update for Business](waas-manage-updates-wufb.md) -- [Configure Windows Update for Business](waas-configure-wufb.md) -- [Integrate Windows Update for Business with management solutions](waas-integrate-wufb.md) -- [Walkthrough: use Group Policy to configure Windows Update for Business](waas-wufb-group-policy.md) -- [Walkthrough: use Intune to configure Windows Update for Business](waas-wufb-intune.md) -- [Manage Windows 10 updates using Windows Server Update Services](waas-manage-updates-wsus.md) -- [Manage Windows 10 updates using Configuration Manager](waas-manage-updates-configuration-manager.md) diff --git a/windows/manage/waas-configure-wufb.md b/windows/manage/waas-configure-wufb.md deleted file mode 100644 index e6c1f6e142..0000000000 --- a/windows/manage/waas-configure-wufb.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,218 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: Configure Windows Update for Business (Windows 10) -description: You can use Group Policy or your mobile device management (MDM) service to configure Windows Update for Business settings for your devices. -ms.prod: w10 -ms.mktglfcycl: manage -ms.sitesec: library -author: jdeckerMS -localizationpriority: high ---- - -# Configure Windows Update for Business - - -**Applies to** - -- Windows 10 -- Windows 10 Mobile - -You can use Group Policy or your mobile device management (MDM) service to configure Windows Update for Business settings for your devices.

However,Windows Update for Business clients running version 1511 will still see their policies honored after they update to version 1607; the old policy keys will continue to exist with their values ported forward during the update. Following the update to version 1607, it should be noted that only the version 1511 keys will be populated and not the new version 1607 keys, until the newer keys are explicitly defined on the device by the administrator. - -### How version 1511 policies are respected on version 1607 - -When a client running version 1607 sees an update available on Windows Update, the client will first evaluate and execute against the Windows Updates for Business policy keys for version 1607. If these are not present, it will then check to see if any of the version 1511 keys are set and defer accordingly. Update keys for version 1607 will always supersede the version 1511 equivalent. - -### Comparing the version 1511 keys to the version 1607 keys - -In the Windows Update for Business policies in version 1511, all the deferral rules were grouped under a single policy where pausing affected both upgrades and updates. In Windows 10, version 1607, this functionality has been broken out into separate polices: deferral of Feature and Quality Updates can be enabled and paused independently of one other. - - - -

In group mode, peering occurs across internal subnets, between devices that belong to the same group, including devices in remote offices.

For example, select this mode so that clients can use BranchCache. | - ->[!NOTE] ->Group mode is a best effort optimization and should not be relied on for an authentication of identity of devices participating in the group. - -### Group ID (DOGroupID) - -By default, peer sharing on clients using the group download mode is limited to the same domain in Windows 10, version 1511, and the same domain and AD DS site in Windows 10, version 1607. By using the Group ID setting, you can optionally create a custom group that contains devices that should participate in Delivery Optimization but do not fall within those domain or AD DS site boundaries, including devices in another domain. Using Group ID, you can further restrict the default group (for example create a sub-group representing an office building), or extend the group beyond the domain, allowing devices in multiple domains in your organization to peer. This setting requires the custom group to be specified as a GUID on each device that participates in the custom group. - ->[!NOTE] ->This configuration is optional and not required for most implementations of Delivery Optimization. - -### Max Cache Age (DOMaxCacheAge) - -In environments configured for Delivery Optimization, you may want to set an expiration on cached updates and Windows application installation files. If so, this setting defines the maximum number of seconds each file can be held in the Delivery Optimization cache on each Windows 10 client computer. The default Max Cache Age value is 259,200 seconds (3 days). Alternatively, organizations may choose to set this value to “0” which means “unlimited” to avoid peers re-downloading content. When “Unlimited” value is set, Delivery Optimization will hold the files in the cache longer and will clean up the cache as needed (for example when the cache size exceeded the maximum space allowed). - -### Max Cache Size (DOMaxCacheSize) - -This setting limits the maximum amount of space the Delivery Optimization cache can use as a percentage of the available drive space, from 1 to 100. For example, if you set this value to 10 on a Windows 10 client computer that has 100 GB of available drive space, then Delivery Optimization will use up to 10 GB of that space. Delivery Optimization will constantly assess the available drive space and automatically clear the cache to keep the maximum cache size under the set percentage. The default value for this setting is 20. - -### Absolute Max Cache Size (DOAbsoluteMaxCacheSize) - -This setting specifies the maximum number of gigabytes the Delivery Optimization cache can use. This is different from the **DOMaxCacheSize** setting, which is a percentage of available disk space. Also, if you configure this policy, it will override the **DOMaxCacheSize** setting. The default value for this setting is 10 GB. - -### Maximum Download Bandwidth (DOMaxDownloadBandwidth) - -This setting specifies the maximum download bandwidth that can be used across all concurrent Delivery Optimization downloads in kilobytes per second (KB/s). A default value of 0 means that Delivery Optimization will dynamically adjust and optimize the maximum bandwidth used. - -### Percentage of Maximum Download Bandwidth (DOPercentageMaxDownloadBandwidth) - -This setting specifies the maximum download bandwidth that Delivery Optimization can use across all concurrent download activities as a percentage of available download bandwidth. The default value 0 means that Delivery Optimization dynamically adjusts to use the available bandwidth for downloads. - -### Max Upload Bandwidth (DOMaxUploadBandwidth) - -This setting allows you to limit the amount of upload bandwidth individual clients can use for Delivery Optimization. Consider this setting when clients are providing content to requesting peers on the network. This option is set in kilobytes per second (KB/s). The default setting is 0, or “unlimited” which means Delivery Optimization dynamically optimizes for minimal usage of upload bandwidth; however it does not cap the upload bandwidth rate at a set rate. - -### Minimum Background QoS (DOMinBackgroundQoS) - -This value specifies the minimum download speed guarantee that a client attempts to achieve and will fulfill by downloading more bytes from Windows Update servers or WSUS. Simply put, the lower this value is, the more content will be sourced using peers on the network rather than Windows Update. The higher this value, the more content is received from Windows Update servers or WSUS, versus peers on the local network. - -### Modify Cache Drive (DOModifyCacheDrive) - -This setting allows for an alternate Delivery Optimization cache location on the clients. By default, the cache is stored on the operating system drive through the %SYSTEMDRIVE% environment variable. You can set the value to an environment variable (e.g., %SYSTEMDRIVE%), a drive letter (e.g., D:), or a folder path (e.g., D:\DOCache). - -### Monthly Upload Data Cap (DOMonthlyUploadDataCap) - -This setting specifies the total amount of data in gigabytes that a Delivery Optimization client can upload to Internet peers per month. A value of 0 means that an unlimited amount of data can be uploaded. The default value for this setting is 20 GB. - -## Delivery Optimization configuration examples - -Delivery Optimization can be configured in various ways, leveraging the policies described in the previous section. The following samples describe some common scenarios that organizations may want to set up, given specific scenarios in use for their organization. - -### Use Delivery Optimzation with group download mode - -Delivery Optimization by default will consider all PCs in an organizations as peers for sharing content, even those that might be located across a slower WAN link. Group download mode is designed to help with this by limiting the PCs that can be used. In Windows 10, version 1511, group download mode considers PCs in the same domain and with the same configured Group ID to be eligible peers. In Windows 10, version 1607, the default behavior also adds the PC's AD DS site into the grouping determination. - -**To use Group Policy to configure Delivery Optimization for group download mode** - -1. Open Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). - -2. Expand Forest\Domains\\*Your_Domain*. - -3. Right-click *Your_Domain*, and then click **Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here**. - -4.

For organizations that wish to instead leverage BranchCache for the caching of updates being delivered from a WSUS server, Delivery Optimization can be configured to leverage the **HTTP only** download mode, which results in Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) being used to transfer the content; BITS will then use BranchCache when peers are available on the same subnet, and use the WSUS server directly when no peers are available. - -**To use Group Policy to configure HTTP only download mode** - -1. Open Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). - -2. Expand Forest\Domains\\*Your_Domain*. - -3. Right-click *Your_Domain*, and then click **Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here**. - -4.

For organizations that wish to instead leverage BranchCache for the caching of updates being delivered from a WSUS server, Delivery Optimization can be configured to leverage the **Bypass** download mode (new in Windows 10, version 1607), which results in BITS being used to transfer the content; BITS will then use BranchCache when peers are available on the same subnet, and use the WSUS server directly when no peers are available. - -**To use Group Policy to enable the Bypass download mode** - -1. Open Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). - -2. Expand Forest\Domains\\*Your_Domain*. - -3. Right-click *Your_Domain*, and then click **Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here**. - -4.

Then, click **Add**, select the **Domain Computers** group, and then click **OK**. - - >[!NOTE] - >This example uses the Domain Computers group, but you can deploy this policy setting to any computer group. - -### Set “preferred” cache devices for Delivery Optimization - -In some cases, IT pros may have an interest in identifying specific devices that will be “preferred” as sources to other devices—for example, devices that have hard-wired connections, large drives that you can use as caches, or a high-end hardware profile. These preferred devices will act as a “master” for the update content related to that devices’s configuration (Delivery Optimization only caches content relative to the client downloading the content). - -To specify which devices are preferred, you can set the **Max Cache Age** configuration with a value of **Unlimited** (0). As a result, these devices will be used more often as sources for other devices downloading the same files. - -On devices that are not preferred, you can choose to set the following policy to prioritize data coming from local peers instead of the Internet: - -- Set **DOBackgroundQoS** with a low value, for example `65536` which is the equivalent of 64 KB/s. - -## Learn more - -[Windows 10, Delivery Optimization, and WSUS](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/mniehaus/2016/08/16/windows-10-delivery-optimization-and-wsus-take-2/) - - -## Related topics - -- [Update Windows 10 in the enterprise](waas-update-windows-10.md) -- [Overview of Windows as a service](waas-overview.md) -- [Prepare servicing strategy for Windows 10 updates](waas-servicing-strategy-windows-10-updates.md) -- [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) -- [Assign devices to servicing branches for Windows 10 updates](waas-servicing-branches-windows-10-updates.md) -- [Optimize update delivery for Windows 10 updates](waas-optimize-windows-10-updates.md) -- [Configure BranchCache for Windows 10 updates](waas-branchcache.md) -- [Manage updates for Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise](waas-mobile-updates.md) -- [Manage updates using Windows Update for Business](waas-manage-updates-wufb.md) -- [Configure Windows Update for Business](waas-configure-wufb.md) -- [Integrate Windows Update for Business with management solutions](waas-integrate-wufb.md) -- [Walkthrough: use Group Policy to configure Windows Update for Business](waas-wufb-group-policy.md) -- [Walkthrough: use Intune to configure Windows Update for Business](waas-wufb-intune.md) -- [Manage Windows 10 updates using Windows Server Update Services](waas-manage-updates-wsus.md) -- [Manage Windows 10 updates using System Center Configuration Manager](waas-manage-updates-configuration-manager.md) diff --git a/windows/manage/waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md b/windows/manage/waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md deleted file mode 100644 index 87b46bd064..0000000000 --- a/windows/manage/waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,76 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates (Windows 10) -description: Deployment rings in Windows 10 are similar to the deployment groups most organizations constructed for previous major revision upgrades. -ms.prod: w10 -ms.mktglfcycl: manage -ms.sitesec: library -author: jdeckerMS -localizationpriority: high ---- - -# Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates - - -**Applies to** - -- Windows 10 -- Windows 10 Mobile - -For Windows as a service, maintenance is ongoing and iterative. Deploying previous versions of Windows required organizations to build sets of users to roll out the changes in phases. Typically, these users ranged (in order) from the most adaptable and least risky to the least adaptable or riskiest. With Windows 10, a similar methodology exists, but construction of the groups is a little different. - -Deployment rings in Windows 10 are similar to the deployment groups most organizations constructed for previous major revision upgrades. They are simply a method by which to separate machines into a deployment timeline. With Windows 10, you construct deployment rings a bit differently in each servicing tool, but the concepts remain the same. Each deployment ring should reduce the risk of issues derived from the deployment of the feature updates by gradually deploying the update to entire departments. As previously mentioned, consider including a portion of each department’s employees in several deployment rings. - -Defining deployment rings is generally a one-time event (or at least infrequent), but IT should revisit these groups to ensure that the sequencing is still correct. Also, there are times in which client computers could move between different deployment rings when necessary. - -Table 1 provides an example of the deployment rings you might use. - -**Table 1** - -| Deployment ring | Servicing branch | Total weeks after Current Branch (CB) or Current Brandh for Business (CBB) release | -| --- | --- | --- | -| Preview | Windows Insider | Pre-CB | -| Ring 1 Pilot IT | CB | CB + 0 weeks | -| Ring 2 Pilot business users | CB | CB + 2 weeks | -| Ring 3 Broad IT | CBB | CBB + 0 weeks | -| Ring 4 Broad business users | CBB | CBB + 4 weeks | -| Ring 5 Broad business users #2 | CBB | CBB + 8 weeks | - ->[!NOTE] ->In this example, there are no rings made up of the long-term servicing branch (LTSB). The LTSB servicing branch does not receive feature updates. -> ->Windows Insider is in the deployment ring list for informational purposes only. Windows Insider PCs must be enrolled manually on each device and serviced based on the Windows Insider level chosen in the **Settings** app on that particular PC. Feature update servicing for Windows Insiderdevices is done completely through Windows Update; no servicing tools can manage Windows Insider feature updates. - - -As Table 1 shows, each combination of servicing branch and deployment group is tied to a specific deployment ring. As you can see, the associated groups of devices are combined with a servicing branch to specify which deployment ring those devices and their users fall into. The naming convention used to identify the rings is completely customizable as long as the name clearly identifies the sequence. Deployment rings represent a sequential deployment timeline, regardless of the servicing branch they contain. Deployment rings will likely rarely change for an organization, but they should be periodically assessed to ensure that the deployment cadence still makes sense. - -![illustration of rings](images/waas-rings.png) - - - -## Steps to manage updates for Windows 10 - - - - - - - - -

If you have Windows Insider PCs that you use Configuration Manager to manage, then you should create a collection of those PCs and exclude them from this collection. You can create the membership for the Windows Insider collection either manually or by using a query where the operating system build doesn’t equal any of the current CB or CBB build numbers. You would have to update each periodically to include new devices or new operating system builds. - -After you have updated the membership, this new collection will contain all managed clients on the CBB servicing branch. You will use this collection as a limiting collection for future CBB-based collections and the **Ring 3 Broad IT** collection. Complete the following steps to create the Ring 3 Broad IT device collection, which you’ll use as a CBB deployment ring for servicing plans or task sequences. - -1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Assets and Compliance\Overview\Device Collections. - -2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Create Device Collection**. - -3.

By default, this rule is evaluated each time the software update point is synchronized, but you can modify this schedule by viewing the service plan’s properties on the **Evaluation Schedule** tab. - -![Example of UI](images/waas-sccm-fig12.png) - - -## Use a task sequence to deploy Windows 10 updates - -There are times when deploying a Windows 10 feature update requires the use of a task sequence—for example: - -- **LTSB feature updates**. With the LTSB servicing branch, feature updates are never provided to the Windows clients themselves. Instead, feature updates must be installed like a traditional in-place upgrade. -- **Additional required tasks**. When deploying a feature update requires additional steps (e.g., suspending disk encryption, updating applications), you must use task sequences to orchestrate the additional steps. Servicing plans do not have the ability to add steps to their deployments. - -Each time Microsoft releases a new Windows 10 build, it releases a new .iso file containing the latest build, as well. Regardless of the scenario that requires a task sequence to deploy the Windows 10 upgrade, the base process is the same. Start by creating an Operating System Upgrade Package in the Configuration Manager console: - -1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Operating System Upgrade Packages. - -2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Add Operating System Upgrade Package**. - -3. On the **Data Source** page, type the path of the extracted .iso file of the new version of Windows 10 you’re deploying, and then click **Next**. - - In this example, the Windows 10 Enterprise 1607 installation media is deployed to \\contoso-cm01\Sources\Operating Systems\Windows 10 Enterprise\Windows 10 Enterprise - Version 1607. - - >[!NOTE] - >System Center Configuration Manager version 1606 is required to manage machines running Windows 10, version 1607. - -4. On the **General** page, in the **Name** field, type the name of the folder (**Windows 10 Enterprise - Version 1607** in this example). Set the **Version** to **1607**, and then click **Next**. - -5. On the **Summary** page, click **Next** to create the package. - -6. On the **Completion** page, click **Close**. - -Now that the operating system upgrade package has been created, the content in that package must be distributed to the correct distribution points so that the clients can access the content. Complete the following steps to distribute the package content to distribution points: - -1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Operating System Upgrade Packages, and then select the **Windows 10 Enterprise – Version 1607** software upgrade package. - -2. On the Ribbon, in the **Deployment group**, click **Distribute Content**. - -3. In the Distribute Content Wizard, on the **General** page, click **Next**. - -4. On the **Content Destination** page, click **Add**, and then click **Distribution Point**. - -5. In the **Add Distribution Points** dialog box, select the distribution point that will serve the clients receiving this package, and then click **OK**. - -6. On the **Content Destination** page, click **Next**. - -7. On the **Summary** page, click **Next** to distribute the content to the selected distribution point. - -8. On the **Completion** page, click **Close**. - -Now that the upgrade package has been created and its contents distributed, create the task sequence that will use it. Complete the following steps to create the task sequence, using the previously created deployment package: - -1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Task Sequences. - -2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Create Task Sequence**. - -3. In the Create Task Sequence Wizard, on the **Create a new task sequence** page, select **Upgrade an operating system from upgrade package**, and then click **Next**. - -4. On the **Task Sequence Information** page, in **Task sequence name**, type **Upgrade Windows 10 Enterprise – Version 1607**, and then click **Next**. - -5. On the **Upgrade the Windows Operating system** page, click **Browse**, select the deployment package you created in the previous steps, and then click **OK**. - -6. Click **Next**. - -7. On the **Include Updates** page, select **Available for installation – All software updates**, and then click **Next**. - -8. On the **Install Applications** page, click **Next**. - -9. On the **Summary** page, click **Next** to create the task sequence. - -10. On the **Completion** page, click **Close**. - -With the task sequence created, you’re ready to deploy it. If you’re using this method to deploy most of your Windows 10 feature updates, you may want to create deployment rings to stage the deployment of this task sequence, with delays appropriate for the respective deployment ring. In this example, you deploy the task sequence to the **Ring 3 Broad IT collection**. - ->[!IMPORTANT] ->This process deploys a Windows 10 operating system feature update to the affected devices. If you’re testing, be sure to select the collection to which you deploy this task sequence carefully. - -**To deploy your task sequence** - -1.

It provides a single hub for Windows updates within an organization. WSUS allows companies not only to defer updates but also to selectively approve them, choose when they’re delivered, and determine which individual devices or groups of devices receive them. WSUS provides additional control over Windows Update for Business but does not provide all the scheduling options and deployment flexibility that System Center Configuration Manager provides. - -When you choose WSUS as your source for Windows updates, you use Group Policy to point Windows 10 client devices to the WSUS server for their updates. From there, updates are periodically downloaded to the WSUS server and managed, approved, and deployed through the WSUS administration console or Group Policy, streamlining enterprise update management. If you’re currently using WSUS to manage Windows updates in your environment, you can continue to do so in Windows 10. - - - -## Requirements for Windows 10 servicing with WSUS - -To be able to use WSUS to manage and deploy Windows 10 feature updates, you must have WSUS 4.0, which is available in the Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 operating systems. In addition to WSUS 4.0, you must install the [KB3095113](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3095113) and [KB3148812](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3159706) patches on the WSUS server. - -## WSUS scalability - -To use WSUS to manage all Windows updates, some organizations may need access to WSUS from a demilitarized zone, or they might have some other complex scenario. WSUS is highly scalable and configurable for organizations of any size or site layout. For specific information about scaling WSUS, including upstream and downstream server configuration, branch offices, WSUS load balancing, and other complex scenarios, see [Choose a Type of WSUS Deployment](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc720448%28v=ws.10%29.aspx). - - -## Express Installation Files - -With Windows 10, quality updates will be larger than traditional Windows Updates because they’re cumulative. To manage the bandwidth clients downloading large updates like these will need, WSUS has a feature called *Express Installation Files*. - - At a binary level, files associated with updates may not change a lot. In fact, with cumulative quality updates, most of the content will be from previous updates. Rather than downloading the entire update when only a small percentage of the payload is actually different, Express Installation Files analyze the differences between the new files associated with an update and the existing files on the client. This approach significantly reduces the amount of bandwidth used because only a fraction of the update content is actually delivered. - - **To configure WSUS to download Express Update Files** - -1. Open the WSUS Administration Console. - -2. In the navigation pane, go to *Your_Server*\\**Options**. - -3. In the **Options** section, click **Update Files and Languages**. - - ![Example of UI](images/waas-wsus-fig1.png) - -4.

Alternatively, when using Express Installation Files for previous versions of Windows, the feature’s positive effects aren’t noticeable because the updates aren’t cumulative. - -## Configure automatic updates and update service location - -When using WSUS to manage updates on Windows client devices, start by configuring the **Configure Automatic Updates** and **Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location** Group Policy settings for your environment. Doing so forces the affected clients to contact the WSUS server so that it can manage them. The following process describes how to specify these settings and deploy them to all devices in the domain. - -**To configure the Configure Automatic Updates and Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location Group Policy settings for your environment** - -1.

Now that clients are communicating with the WSUS server, create the computer groups that align with your deployment rings. - -## Create computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console - ->[!NOTE] ->The following procedures use the groups from Table 1 in [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) as examples. - -You can use computer groups to target a subset of devices that have specific quality and feature updates. These groups represent your deployment rings, as controlled by WSUS. You can populate the groups either manually by using the WSUS Administration Console or automatically through Group Policy. Regardless of the method you choose, you must first create the groups in the WSUS Administration Console. - -**To create computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console** - -1. Open the WSUS Administration Console. - -2. Go to *Server_Name*\Computers\All Computers, and then click **Add Computer Group**. - - ![Example of UI](images/waas-wsus-fig7.png) - -3. Type **Ring 2 Pilot Business Users** for the name, and then click **Add**. - -4. Repeat these steps for the **Ring 3 Broad IT** and **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** groups. When you’re finished, there should be three deployment ring groups. - -Now that the groups have been created, add the computers to the computer groups that align with the desired deployment rings. You can do this through [Group Policy](#wsus-gp) or manually by using the [WSUS Administration Console](#wsus-admin). - - -## Use the WSUS Administration Console to populate deployment rings - -Adding computers to computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console is simple, but it could take much longer than managing membership through Group Policy, especially if you have many computers to add. Adding computers to computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console is called *server-side targeting*. - -In this example, you add computers to computer groups in two different ways: by manually assigning unassigned computers and by searching for multiple computers. - -### Manually assign unassigned computers to groups - -When new computers communicate with WSUS, they appear in the **Unassigned Computers** group. From there, you can use the following procedure to add computers to their correct groups. For these examples, you use two Windows 10 PCs (WIN10-PC1 and WIN10-PC2) to add to the computer groups. - -**To assign computers manually** - -1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to *Server_Name*\Computers\All Computers\Unassigned Computers. - - Here, you see the new computers that have received the GPO you created in the previous section and started communicating with WSUS. This example has only two computers; depending on how broadly you deployed your policy, you will likely have many computers here. - -2. Select both computers, right-click the selection, and then click **Change Membership**. - - ![Example of UI](images/waas-wsus-fig8.png) - -3. In the **Set Computer Group Membership** dialog box, select the **Ring 2 Pilot Business Users** deployment ring, and then click **OK**. - - Because they were assigned to a group, the computers are no longer in the **Unassigned Computers** group. If you select the **Ring 2 Pilot Business Users** computer group, you will see both computers there. - -### Search for multiple computers to add to groups - -Another way to add multiple computers to a deployment ring in the WSUS Administration Console is to use the search feature. - -**To search for multiple computers** - -1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to *Server_Name*\Computers\All Computers, right-click **All Computers**, and then click **Search**. - -2. In the search box, type **WIN10**. - -3. In the search results, select the computers, right-click the selection, and then click **Change Membership**. - - ![Example of UI](images/waas-wsus-fig9.png) - -4. Select the **Ring 3 Broad IT** deployment ring, and then click **OK**. - -You can now see these computers in the **Ring 3 Broad IT** computer group. - - - -## Use Group Policy to populate deployment rings - -The WSUS Administration Console provides a friendly interface from which you can manage Windows 10 quality and feature updates. When you need to add many computers to their correct WSUS deployment ring, however, it can be time-consuming to do so manually in the WSUS Administration Console. For these cases, consider using Group Policy to target the correct computers, automatically adding them to the correct WSUS deployment ring based on an Active Directory security group. This process is called *client-side targeting*. Before enabling client-side targeting in Group Policy, you must configure WSUS to accept Group Policy computer assignment. - -**To configure WSUS to allow client-side targeting from Group Policy** - -1. Open the WSUS Administration Console, and go to *Server_Name*\Options, and then click **Computers**. - - ![Example of UI](images/waas-wsus-fig10.png) - -2. In the **Computers** dialog box, select **Use Group Policy or registry settings on computers**, and then click **OK**. - - >[!NOTE] - >This option is exclusively either-or.

Microsoft has reimagined each Windows component—build, deploy, and service—to simplify the lives of IT pros and maintain a consistent Windows 10 experience for its customers. These improvements focus on maximizing customer involvement in Windows development, simplifying the deployment and servicing of Windows client computers, and equalizing the number of resources needed to deploy and maintain Windows. - -The build component of Windows as a service refers to the way Microsoft provides rapid innovation to its customers and engages them every step of the way in testing and feedback. The level of visibility customers have into the ongoing development of Windows 10 is unprecedented, given the release cycle of previous Windows builds. Anyone can sign up to be part of the new rapid-release cycle for Windows, helping Microsoft address customer issues, feedback, and concerns faster than before. -Going forward, it will be simpler than ever to deploy Windows. Windows as a service provides a new way to think about strategically deploying new functionality to Windows, including application and device compatibility testing and phased rollouts of the updates themselves. This new strategy significantly reduces the need for the traditionally large migration projects that have plagued organizations looking to upgrade Windows. - -Microsoft has always had a multifaceted approach to Windows servicing, traditionally including Windows updates, operating system upgrades, and service packs, but this approach led to complexity because each servicing component was sourced from different locations and often required multiple delivery methods. In Windows 10, Microsoft has streamlined servicing to make operating system updates simpler to test, manage, and deploy. - -## Building - -Prior to Windows 10, Microsoft released new versions of Windows every few years. This traditional deployment schedule imposed a training burden on users because the feature revisions were often significant. That schedule also meant waiting long periods without new features—a scenario that doesn’t work in today’s rapidly changing world, a world in which new security, management, and deployment capabilities are necessary to address challenges. Windows as a service will deliver smaller feature updates approximately twice per year to help address these issues. - -In the past, when Microsoft developed new versions of Windows, it typically released technical previews and evaluation copies near the release-to-market date. With Windows 10, each feature update will be available to the [Windows Insider community](https://insider.windows.com/) as soon as possible—during the development cycle (approximately weekly)—so that interested parties can see exactly what Microsoft is developing and start their testing as soon as possible. This concept of rapid releases is called *flighting*. - -This new level of visibility throughout the operating system’s development cycle is unprecedented: Microsoft expects feedback throughout the development process so that it can make adjustments as quickly as possible rather than waiting until after release. In addition to the builds it frequently makes available to Windows Insiders, Microsoft has an aggressive internal testing base that consists of daily build testing by the engineering teams and internal self-hosted builds that a broader set of internal Microsoft employees consume. For more information about the Windows Insider Program and how to sign up, see the section [Windows Insider](#windows-insider). - -## Deploying - -Ongoing deployment of Windows 10 feature updates will be simpler than with previous versions of Windows. With previous releases, initial deployments and upgrades could be expensive and time-consuming. Windows as a service, through its focus on easier deployment methods and improved application compatibility, will greatly simplify the deployment process and therefore reduce the overall cost of maintenance. - -One of the biggest challenges for organizations when it comes to deploying a new version of Windows is compatibility testing. Whereas compatibility was previously a concern for organizations upgrading to a new version of Windows, Windows 10 is compatible with most hardware and software capable of running on Windows 7 or later. In Windows 10, compatibility with the Windows 7 operating system and later applications and devices is good. In fact, testing for application compatibility has been simplified to include testing of only the most important business-critical applications. - -### Application compatibility - -Application compatibility testing has historically been a burden when approaching a Windows deployment or upgrade. With Windows 10, application compatibility from the perspective of desktop applications, websites, and apps built on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) has improved tremendously. Microsoft understands the challenges organizations experienced when they migrated from the Windows XP operating system to Windows 7 and has been working to make Windows 10 upgrades a much better experience. - -Most Windows 7–compatible desktop applications will be compatible with Windows 10 straight out of the box. Windows 10 achieved such high compatibility because the changes in the Win32 application programming interfaces were minimal, the Windows Insider Program provided valuable feedback, and Microsoft received strong telemetry data. As for websites, Windows 10 includes Internet Explorer 11 and its backward-compatibility modes for legacy websites. Finally, UWP apps follow a compatibility story similar to desktop applications, so most of them will be compatible with Windows 10. User feedback from the Windows Insider Program and the telemetry data from insiders and early-adopter upgrades have significantly helped Microsoft diagnose and resolve issues related to UWP app compatibility. - -Overall, most applications that ran on Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7 will run on Windows 10. For the most important business-critical applications, organizations should still perform testing on a regular basis to validate compatibility with new builds. For remaining applications, consider testing them in the pilot deployment process to reduce the time spent on compatibility testing. If it’s unclear whether an application is compatible with Windows 10, IT pros can either consult with the ISV or check the supported software directory at [http://www.readyfor10.com](http://www.readyfor10.com). - -### Device compatibility - -Device compatibility in Windows 10 is outstanding. Unlike with some previous releases, most companies will not need to purchase new hardware to take advantage of Windows 10. Any device capable of running Windows 7 or later can run Windows 10. In fact, the minimum hardware requirements to run Windows 10 are the same as those required for Windows 7. Most hardware drivers that functioned in Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7 will continue to function in Windows 10. - - -## Servicing - -Traditional Windows servicing has included several release types: major revisions (e.g., the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7 operating systems), service packs, and monthly updates. Typically, each type came from a different source, such as physical media, Windows Update, or downloads from Microsoft, which meant that overall management could become complicated and expensive. With Windows as a service, all Windows servicing can be sourced from the same place, and organizations can manage updates by using any of several servicing tool options. For information about each servicing tool available for Windows 10, see [Servicing tools](#servicing-tools). - -With Windows 10, organizations will need to change the way they approach deploying updates, including new concepts and changes around servicing. IT pros don’t service Windows as a service the same way they did previous builds of Windows. Servicing branches are the first way to separate users into deployment groups for feature and quality updates. With the introduction of servicing branches came the term [deployment ring](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md), which is simply a way to categorize the combination of a deployment group and a servicing branch and put them in sequential order. For more information about a predeployment strategy necessary to plan for Windows as a service, see [Plan servicing strategy for Windows 10 updates](waas-servicing-strategy-windows-10-updates.md). - -There are two release types for Windows 10: feature updates and quality updates. Feature updates account for the functionality previously deployed in major revision upgrades. Quality updates represent traditional Windows updates. - -To align with this new update delivery model, Windows 10 has three servicing branches, each of which provides different levels of flexibility over when these updates are delivered to client computers. For information about the servicing branches available in Windows 10, see [Servicing branches](#servicing-branches). - - -### Feature updates - -With Windows 10, Microsoft will package new features into feature updates that organizations can use their existing management tools to deploy. Because feature updates are delivered more frequently than with previous Windows releases—approximately twice per year rather than every 3–5 years—changes will be in bite-sized chunks rather than all at once and end user readiness time much shorter. Finally, unlike previous major revisions, Windows 10 feature updates have native rollback capabilities, making it much simpler to retract an update should an issue arise. - -### Quality updates - -Monthly updates in previous Windows versions were often confusing and frustrating because of the sheer number of updates available each month. Many organizations selectively chose which updates they wanted to install and which they didn’t, and this created countless scenarios in which organizations deployed essential security updates but picked only a subset of nonsecurity fixes. - -In Windows 10, rather than receiving several updates for a single machine each month and trying to figure out which the organization needs, ultimately causing platform fragmentation, administrators will see one cumulative monthly update that supersedes the previous month’s update and contains both security and nonsecurity fixes. This approach makes patching simpler and ensures that customers’ PCs are more closely aligned with the testing done at Microsoft, reducing unexpected issues resulting from patching. The left side of Figure 1 provides an example of Windows 7 machines in an enterprise and what their current patch level might look like. On the right is what Microsoft’s test environment PCs contain. This drastic difference is the basis for many compatibility issues and system anomalies related to Windows updates. - -**Figure 1** - -![Comparison of patch environment in enterprise compared to test](images/waas-overview-patch.png) - - - -## Servicing branches - -To align with the new method of delivering feature updates and quality updates in Windows 10, Microsoft introduced the concept of servicing branches to allow customers to designate how aggressively their individual machines are updated. For example, an organization may have test machines that the IT department can update with new features as soon as possible, and then specialized devices that require a longer feature update cycle to ensure continuity. With that in mind, Microsoft offers three servicing branches for Windows 10: Current Branch (CB), Current Branch for Business (CBB), and Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB). In addition, the Windows Insider Program provides IT pros and other interested parties with prerelease Windows builds that they can test and ultimately provide feedback on to Microsoft. For details about the versions in each servicing branch, see [Windows 10 release information](https://technet.microsoft.com/windows/release-info.aspx). - -The concept of servicing branches is new, but organizations can use the same management tools they used to manage updates and upgrades in previous versions of Windows. For more information about the servicing tool options for Windows 10 and their capabilities, see [Servicing tools](#servicing-tools). - ->[!NOTE] ->Servicing branches are not the only way to separate groups of machines when consuming updates. Each branch can contain subsets of devices, which staggers servicing even further. For information about the servicing strategy and ongoing deployment process for Windows 10, including the role of servicing branches, see [Plan servicing strategy for Windows 10 updates](waas-servicing-strategy-windows-10-updates.md). - - -### Current Branch - -In the CB servicing model, feature updates are available as soon as Microsoft releases them. Windows 10 version 1511 had few servicing tool options to delay CB feature updates, limiting the use of the CB servicing branch. Windows 10 version 1607, however, includes more servicing tools that can delay CB feature updates for up to 180 days. The CB servicing model is ideal for pilot deployments and testing of Windows 10 feature updates and for users such as developers who need to work with the latest features immediately. - -When Microsoft officially releases a feature update for Windows 10, that update is marked for CB, making it available to any PC not configured to defer feature updates so that those machines can immediately install it. Organizations that use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, or Windows Update for Business, however, can defer CB feature updates to selective machines by withholding their approval and deployment. In this scenario, the content available for CB will be available but not necessarily immediately mandatory, depending on the policy of the management system. Only one CB build of Windows is supported at a time, so those clients not on the most current build will not receive quality updates (after a 60 day grace period) until the most current feature update has been installed. For more details about Windows 10 servicing tools, see [Servicing tools](#servicing-tools). - - -### Current Branch for Business - -Organizations typically prefer to have a testing cycle before broadly deploying new features to business users. For Windows 10, most pilot testing will be done using the CB servicing branch. In contrast, the CBB servicing branch is typically used for broad deployment. Windows 10 clients in the CBB servicing branch receive the same build of Windows 10 as those in the CB servicing branch, just at a later time. CB releases are transitioned to CBB after about 4 months, indicating that Microsoft, independent software vendors (ISVs), partners, and customers believe that the release is ready for broad deployment. Therefore, CB and CBB have an inherent “staging” effect. Both of these branches have a purpose in the overall deployment process for an enterprise, providing another layer of testing capabilities in addition to the traditional phased deployment methods to specific groups of machines. Microsoft will support two CBB builds at a time, approximately 1 year after it releases a build to CBB, plus a 60 day grace period. - -Figure 2 outlines an example release cycle for Windows 10 feature updates and shows how updates transition from development to the CB and CBB servicing branches. As shown in the key, the dark blue **Evaluate** region represents the time during which a feature update is in development. These builds are accessible for testing through the Windows Insider Program. For details about how to access pre-released builds by enrolling in the Windows Insider Program, see the section Windows Insider. - -The diamond **Release** on each build represents the point at which Microsoft releases a feature update to the CB servicing branch. It identifies the start of the testing, or **Pilot**, phase. The 4 months in this phase is the approximate amount of time before Microsoft releases the feature update to the CBB servicing branch. The **Deploy and Use** phase represents the broad deployment of the Windows 10 feature update to the clients in the CBB servicing branch. Machines are divided into deployment rings, as discussed in the section Ongoing deployment process. - -Finally, when a build’s support has ended, as represented by the **arrows**, organizations have a 60 day **grace** period to update to a newer release. - -**Figure 2** - -![Example release cycle](images/waas-overview-timeline.png) - ->[!NOTE] ->Organizations can electively delay CB and CBB updates into as many phases as they wish by using one of the servicing tools mentioned in the section Servicing tools. - -Basically, CBB is a configuration state, meaning that if a computer has the **Defer Updates and Upgrades** flag enabled—either through Group Policy, a mobile device management product like Microsoft Intune, or manually on the client—it’s considered to be in the CBB servicing branch. The benefit of tying this servicing model and CB to a configuration state rather than a SKU is that they are easily interchangeable. If an organization accidentally selects CBB on a machine that doesn’t need delayed updates, it’s simple to change it back. - -### Long-term Servicing Branch - -Specialized systems—such as PCs that control medical equipment, point-of-sale systems, and ATMs—often require a longer servicing option because of their purpose. These devices typically perform a single important task and don’t need feature updates as frequently as other machines in the organization. It’s more important that these devices be kept as stable and secure as possible than up to date with user interface changes. The LTSB servicing model prevents Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB devices from receiving the usual feature updates and provides only quality updates to ensure that device security stays up to date. With this in mind, quality updates are still immediately available to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB clients, but customers can choose to defer them by using one of the servicing tools mentioned in the section Servicing tools. - -Microsoft never publishes feature updates through Windows Update on devices that run Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB. Instead, it typically offers new LTSB releases every 2–3 years, and organizations can choose to install them as in-place upgrades or even skip releases over a 10-year life cycle. - -LTSB is available only in the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB edition. This build of Windows doesn’t contain many in-box applications, such as Microsoft Edge, Windows Store client, Cortana (limited search capabilities remain available), Microsoft Mail, Calendar, OneNote, Weather, News, Sports, Money, Photos, Camera, Music, and Clock. Therefore, it’s important to remember that Microsoft has positioned the LTSB model primarily for specialized devices. - ->[!NOTE] ->If an organization has devices currently running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB that it would like to change to the CB or CBB servicing branch, it can make the change without losing user data. Because LTSB is its own SKU, however, an upgrade is required from Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB to Windows 10 Enterprise, which supports CB and CBB. - -### Windows Insider - -For many IT pros, gaining visibility into feature updates early—before they’re available to the CB servicing branch—can be both intriguing and valuable for future end user communications as well as provide additional prestaging for CB machines. With Windows 10, feature flighting enables Windows Insiders to consume and deploy preproduction code to their test machines, gaining early visibility into the next build. Testing the early builds of Windows 10 helps both Microsoft and its customers because they have the opportunity to discover possible issues before the update is ever publicly available and can report it to Microsoft. Also, as flighted builds get closer to their release to CB, organizations can test their deployment on test machines for compatibility validation. - -Microsoft recommends that all organizations have at least a few PCs enrolled in the Windows Insider Program and provide feedback on any issues they encounter. For information about how to sign up for the Windows Insider Program and enroll test devices, go to [https://insider.windows.com](https://insider.windows.com). - ->[!NOTE] ->The Windows Insider Program isn’t intended to replace CB deployments in an organization. Rather, it provides IT pros and other interested parties with prerelease Windows builds that they can test and ultimately provide feedback on to Microsoft. - - - -## Servicing tools - -There are many tools with which IT pros can service Windows as a service. Each option has its pros and cons, ranging from capabilities and control to simplicity and low administrative requirements. The following are examples of the servicing tools available to manage Windows as a service updates: - -- **Windows Update (stand-alone)** provides limited control over feature updates, with IT pros manually configuring the device to be in the CBB servicing branch. Organizations can control which devices defer updates and stay in the CBB servicing branch or remain in CB by selecting the Defer upgrades check box in Start\Settings\Update & Security\Advanced Options on a Windows 10 client. -- **Windows Update for Business** is the second option for servicing Windows as a service. This servicing tool includes a little more control over update deferment and provides centralized management using Group Policy. In Windows 10 version 1511, Windows Update for Business can be used to defer feature updates for up to 8 months and quality updates for up to 4 weeks. Also, these deferment options were available only to clients in the CBB servicing branch. In Windows 10 version 1607 and later, Windows Update for Business can be used to defer feature updates for up to 180 days and quality updates for up to 30 days. These deployment options are available to clients in either the CB or CBB servicing branch. In addition to being able to use Group Policy to manage Windows Update for Business, either option can be configured without requiring any on-premises infrastructure by using Intune. In addition to Intune, organizations can use Group Policy to manage Windows Update for Business. -- **Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)** provides extensive control over Windows 10 updates and is natively available in the Windows Server operating system. In addition to the ability to defer updates, organizations can add an approval layer for updates and choose to deploy them to specific computers or groups of computers whenever ready. -- **System Center Configuration Manager** provides the greatest control over servicing Windows as a service. IT pros can defer updates, approve them, and have multiple options for targeting deployments and managing bandwidth usage and deployment times. - -With all these options, which an organization chooses depends on the resources, staff, and expertise its IT organization already has. For example, if IT already uses System Center Configuration Manager to manage Windows updates, it can continue to use it. Similarly, if IT is using WSUS, it can continue to use that. For a consolidated look at the benefits of each tool, see Table 1. - -**Table 1** - -| Servicing tool | Can updates be deferred? | Ability to approve updates | Peer-to-peer option | Additional features | -| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | -| Windows Update | Yes (manual) | No | Delivery Optimization | None| -| Windows Update for Business | Yes | No | Delivery Optimization | Other Group Policy objects | -| WSUS | Yes | Yes | BranchCache or Delivery Optimization | Upstream/downstream server scalability | -| Configuration Manager | Yes | Yes | BranchCache, Client Peer Cache | Distribution points, multiple deployment options | - -

Windows 10 offers a new approach to deploying both quality and feature updates, making the process much simpler and therefore the planning much more straightforward. With Windows as a service, the methodology around updating Windows has completely changed, moving away from major upgrades every few years to iterative updates twice per year. Each iteration contains a smaller subset of changes so that they won’t seem like substantial differences, like they do today. Figure 1 shows the level of effort needed for traditional Windows deployments versus servicing Windows 10 and how it is now spread evenly over time versus spiking every few years. - -**Figure 1** - -![Compare traditional servicing to Windows 10](images/waas-strategy-fig1.png) - -Windows 10 spreads the traditional deployment effort of a Windows upgrade, which typically occurred every few years, over smaller, continuous updates. With this change, you must approach the ongoing deployment and servicing of Windows differently. A strong Windows 10 deployment strategy begins with establishing a simple, repeatable process for testing and deploying each feature update. Here’s an example of what this process might look like: - -- **Configure test devices.** Configure testing PCs in the Windows Insider Program so that Insiders can test feature updates before they’re available to the Current Branch (CB) servicing branch. Typically, this would be a small number of test machines that IT staff members use to evaluate prereleased builds of Windows. Microsoft provides current development builds to Windows Insider members approximately every week so that interested users can see the functionality Microsoft is adding. See the section Windows Insider for details on how to enroll in the Windows Insider Program on a Windows 10 device. -- **Identify excluded PCs.** For some organizations, special-purpose devices such as those used to control factory or medical equipment or run ATMs require a stricter, less frequent feature update cycle than CB or Current Branch for Business (CBB) can offer. For those machines, you must install Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB to avoid feature updates for up to 10 years. Identify these PCs, and separate them from the phased deployment and servicing cycles to help remove confusion for your administrators and ensure that devices are handled correctly. -- **Recruit volunteers.** The purpose of testing a deployment is to receive feedback. One effective way to recruit pilot users is to request volunteers. When doing so, clearly state that you’re looking for feedback rather than people to just “try it out” and that there could be occasional issues involved with accepting feature updates right away. With Windows as a service, the expectation is that there should be few issues, but if an issue does arise, you want testers to let you know as soon as possible. When considering whom to recruit for pilot groups, be sure to include members who provide the broadest set of applications and devices to validate the largest number of apps and devices possible. -- **Choose a servicing tool.** Decide which product you’ll use to manage the Windows updates in your environment. If you’re currently using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System Center Configuration Manager to manage your Windows updates, you can continue using those products to manage Windows 10 updates. Alternatively, you can use Windows Update for Business. In addition to which product you’ll use, consider how you’ll deliver the updates. With Windows 10, multiple peer-to-peer options are available to make update distribution faster. For a comparison of tools, see [Servicing tools](waas-overview.md#servicing-tools). -- **Prioritize applications.** First, create an application portfolio. This list should include everything installed in your organization and any webpages your organization hosts. Next, prioritize this list to identify those that are the most business critical. Because the expectation is that application compatibility with Windows 10 will be high, only the most business critical applications should be tested before the pilot phase; everything else can be tested afterwards. - ->[!NOTE] ->This strategy is applicable to approaching an environment in which Windows 10 already exists. For information about how to deploy or upgrade to Windows 10 where another version of Windows exists, see [Plan for Windows 10 deployment](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/plan/index). - -Each time Microsoft releases a Windows 10 feature update, the IT department should use the following high-level process to help ensure that the broad deployment is successful: - -1. **Validate compatibility of business critical apps.** Test your most important business-critical applications for compatibility with the new Windows 10 feature update running on your Windows Insider machines identified in the earlier “Configure test machines” step of the Predeployment strategy section. The list of applications involved in this validation process should be small because most applications can be tested during the pilot phase. For more information about device and application compatibility in Windows 10, see the section Compatibility. -2. **Pilot and react to feedback.** With Windows 10, Microsoft expects application and device compatibility to be high, but it’s still important to have pilot groups within both the IT department and business units to verify application compatibility for the remaining applications in your application portfolio. Because only the most business-critical applications are tested beforehand, this will represent the majority of application compatibility testing in your environment. This should not necessarily be a formal process but rather user validation through the use of a particular application. So, the next step is to deploy the feature update to early-adopting IT users and your pilot groups running in the CB servicing branch that you identified in the “Recruit volunteers” step of the Predeployment strategy section. Be sure to communicate clearly that you’re looking for feedback as soon as possible, and state exactly how users can submit feedback to you. Should an issue arise, have a remediation plan in place to address it. For an example of what a remediation plan for an application compatibility issue arising from a Windows 10 feature update might look like, see the . -3. **Deploy broadly.** Finally, focus on the large-scale deployment using deployment rings, like the ones discussed in Table 1. Build deployment rings that target groups of computers in your selected update-management product. To reduce risk as much as possible, construct your deployment rings in a way that splits individual departments into multiple rings. This way, if you were to encounter an issue, you don’t prevent any critical business from continuing. By using this method, each deployment ring reduces risk as more and more people have been updated in any particular department. - - -## Steps to manage updates for Windows 10 - - - - - - - - -

The Windows as a service model is focused on continually providing new capabilities and updates while maintaining a high level of hardware and software compatibility. Deploying new versions of Windows is simpler than ever before: Microsoft makes smaller revisions approximately twice per year rather than the traditional, larger upgrades available every few years. Ultimately, this model replaces the need for traditional Windows upgrade projects, which can be costly and time-consuming, and spreads the required effort out into a continuous updating process, reducing the overall effort required to maintain Windows 10 devices in your environment. In addition, with the Windows 10 operating system, organizations have the chance to experience “flighted” builds of Windows as Microsoft develops them, gaining insight into new features and the ability to provide continual feedback about them. - ->[!TIP] ->See [Windows 10 update history](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12387/windows-10-update-history) for details about each Windows 10 update released to date. - -## In this section - -| Topic | Description| -| --- | --- | -| [Overview of Windows as a service](waas-overview.md) | Explains the differences in building, deploying, and servicing Windows 10; introduces feature updates, quality updates, and the different servicing branches; compares servicing tools. | -| [Prepare servicing strategy for Windows 10 updates](waas-servicing-strategy-windows-10-updates.md) | Explains the decisions you need to make in your servicing strategy. | -| [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) | Explains how to make use of servicing branches and update deferrals to manage Windows 10 updates. | -| [Assign devices to servicing branches for Windows 10 updates](waas-servicing-branches-windows-10-updates.md) | Explains how to assign devices to Current Branch (CB) or Current Branch for Business (CBB) for feature and quality updates, and how to enroll devices in Windows Insider. | -| [Optimize update delivery for Windows 10 updates](waas-optimize-windows-10-updates.md) | Explains the benefits of using Delivery Optimization or BranchCache for update distribution. | -| [Manage updates for Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise](waas-mobile-updates.md) | Explains updates for Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise. | -| [Manage updates using Windows Update for Business](waas-manage-updates-wufb.md) | Explains how to use Windows Update for Business to manage when devices receive updates directly from Windows Update.

Using these tools to deploy Windows 10 images is similar to deploying previous versions of Windows. ->With each release of a new feature update for CB, Microsoft makes available new .iso files for use in updating your custom images. Each Windows 10 build has a finite servicing lifetime, so it’s important that images stay up to date with the latest build.

Specifically disabling this policy forces the client into the CB servicing branch, making it impossible for users to change it. - - **Defer upgrades for the following**. This option allows you to delay feature updates up to 8 months, a number added to the default CBB delay (approximately 4 months from CB). By using Windows Update for Business, you can use this option to stagger CBB feature updates, making the total offset up to 12 months from CB. - - **Defer updates for the following**. This option allows you to delay the installation of quality updates on a Windows 10 device for up to 4 weeks, allowing for phased rollouts of updates in your enterprise, but not all quality updates are deferrable with this option. Table 1 shows the deferment capabilities by update type. - - **Pause Upgrades and Updates**. Should an issue arise with a feature update, this option allows a one-time skip of the current month’s quality and feature update. Quality updates will resume after 35 days, and feature updates will resume after 60 days.
