| Step | Description |
| ----- | ----- |
| **Step 1: Identify devices** | IT admin identifies devices to be managed by the Windows Autopatch service. |
| **Step 2: Add devices** | IT admin identifies and adds devices, or nests other Microsoft Entra device groups into any Microsoft Entra group when you [create an Autopatch group](../manage/windows-autopatch-manage-autopatch-groups.md#create-an-autopatch-group) or [edit an Autopatch group](../manage/windows-autopatch-manage-autopatch-groups.md#edit-an-autopatch-group) or imported (WUfB) policies. |
| **Step 2: Add devices** | IT admin identifies and adds devices, or nests other Microsoft Entra device groups into any Microsoft Entra group when you [create an Autopatch group](../manage/windows-autopatch-manage-autopatch-groups.md#create-an-autopatch-group) or [edit an Autopatch group](../manage/windows-autopatch-manage-autopatch-groups.md#edit-an-autopatch-group) or imported Windows Update client policies. |
| **Step 3: Discover devices** | The Windows Autopatch Discover Devices function discovers devices (hourly) that were previously added by the IT admin from Microsoft Entra groups used with Autopatch groups in **step #2**. The Microsoft Entra device ID is used by Windows Autopatch to query device attributes in both Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra ID when registering devices into its service.<ol><li>Once devices are discovered from the Microsoft Entra group, the same function gathers additional device attributes and saves it into its memory during the discovery operation. The following device attributes are gathered from Microsoft Entra ID in this step:</li><ol><li>**AzureADDeviceID**</li><li>**OperatingSystem**</li><li>**DisplayName (Device name)**</li><li>**AccountEnabled**</li><li>**RegistrationDateTime**</li><li>**ApproximateLastSignInDateTime**</li></ol><li>In this same step, the Windows Autopatch discover devices function calls another function, the device prerequisite check function. The device prerequisite check function evaluates software-based device-level prerequisites to comply with Windows Autopatch device readiness requirements before registration.</li></ol> |
| **Step 4: Check prerequisites** | The Windows Autopatch prerequisite function makes an Intune Graph API call to sequentially validate device readiness attributes required for the registration process. For detailed information, see the [Detailed prerequisite check workflow diagram](#detailed-prerequisite-check-workflow-diagram) section. The service checks the following device readiness attributes, and/or prerequisites:<ol><li>**If the device is Intune-managed or not.**</li><ol><li>Windows Autopatch looks to see **if the Microsoft Entra device ID has an Intune device ID associated with it**.</li><ol><li>If **yes**, it means this device is enrolled into Intune.</li><li>If **not**, it means the device isn't enrolled into Intune, hence it can't be managed by the Windows Autopatch service.</li></ol><li>**If the device is not managed by Intune**, the Windows Autopatch service can't gather device attributes such as operating system version, Intune enrollment date, device name, and other attributes. When this happens, the Windows Autopatch service uses the Microsoft Entra device attributes gathered and saved to its memory in **step 3a**.</li><ol><li>Once it has the device attributes gathered from Microsoft Entra ID in **step 3a**, the device is flagged with the **Prerequisite failed** status, and the device's Autopatch readiness status appears as **Not registered** in the [**Devices report**](#devices-report). The IT admin can review the reasons the device wasn't registered into Windows Autopatch. The IT admin remediates these devices. In this case, the IT admin should check why the device wasn't enrolled into Intune.</li><li>A common reason is when the Microsoft Entra device ID is stale, it doesn't have an Intune device ID associated with it anymore. To remediate, [clean up any stale Microsoft Entra device records from your tenant](windows-autopatch-register-devices.md#clean-up-dual-state-of-hybrid-azure-ad-joined-and-azure-registered-devices-in-your-azure-ad-tenant).</li></ol><li>**If the device is managed by Intune**, the Windows Autopatch prerequisite check function continues to the next prerequisite check, which evaluates whether the device checked into Intune in the last 28 days.</li></ol><li>**If the device is a Windows device or not.**</li><ol><li>Windows Autopatch looks to see if the device is a Windows and corporate-owned device.</li><ol><li>**If yes**, it means this device can be registered with the service because it's a Windows corporate-owned device.</li><li>**If not**, it means the device is a non-Windows device, or it's a Windows device but it's a personal device.</li></ol></ol><li>**Windows Autopatch checks the Windows SKU family**. The SKU must be either:</li><ol><li>**Enterprise**</li><li>**Pro**</li><li>**Pro Workstation**</li></ol><li>**If the device meets the operating system requirements**, Windows Autopatch checks whether the device is either:</li><ol><li>**Only managed by Intune.**</li><ol><li>If the device is only managed by Intune, the device is marked as Passed all prerequisites.</li></ol><li>**Co-managed by both Configuration Manager and Intune.**</li><ol><li>If the device is co-managed by both Configuration Manager and Intune, an additional prerequisite check is evaluated to determine if the device satisfies the co-management-enabled workloads required by Windows Autopatch to manage devices in a co-managed state. The required co-management workloads evaluated in this step are:</li><ol><li>**Windows Updates Policies**</li><li>**Device Configuration**</li><li>**Office Click to Run**</li></ol><li>If Windows Autopatch determines that one of these workloads isn't enabled on the device, the service marks the device as **Prerequisite failed** and the device's Autopatch readiness status appears as **Not registered** in the **Devices report**.</li></ol></ol></ol>|
| **Step 5: Calculate deployment ring assignment** | Once the device passes all prerequisites described in **step #4**, Windows Autopatch starts its deployment ring assignment calculation. The following logic is used to calculate the Windows Autopatch deployment ring assignment:<ol><li>If the Windows Autopatch tenant's existing managed device size is **≤ 200**, the deployment ring assignment is **First (5%)**, **Fast (15%)**, remaining devices go to the **Broad ring (80%)**.</li><li>If the Windows Autopatch tenant's existing managed device size is **>200**, the deployment ring assignment is **First (1%)**, **Fast (9%)**, remaining devices go to the **Broad ring (90%)**.</li></ol> |
