A device leveraging express updates uses network protocol to determine optimal differentials, then downloads only what is needed from the update distribution endpoints. The flip side of express download is that the size of PSF files can be very large depending on the number of historical baselines against which differentials were calculated. Downloading and caching large PSF files to on-premises or remote update distribution servers is problematic for most organizations, hence they are unable to leverage express updates to keep their fleet of devices running Windows 10 up to date. Secondly, due to the complexity of generating differentials and size of the express files that need to be cached on update distribution servers, it is only feasible to generate express download files for the most common baselines, thus express updates are only applicable to selected baselines. Finally, calculation of optimal differentials is expensive in terms of system memory utilization, especially for low-cost systems, impacting their ability to download and apply an update seamlessly. diff --git a/windows/deployment/update/create-deployment-plan.md b/windows/deployment/update/create-deployment-plan.md index 17dc7028a8..5263372cb3 100644 --- a/windows/deployment/update/create-deployment-plan.md +++ b/windows/deployment/update/create-deployment-plan.md @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ ms.technology: itpro-updates A "service management" mindset means that the devices in your organization fall into a continuum, with the software update process being constantly planned, deployed, monitored, and optimized.

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. - **Update Group Policy.** Each feature update includes new group policies to manage new features. If you use Group Policy to manage devices, the Group Policy Admin for the Active Directory domain will need to download an .admx package and copy it to their [Central Store](/troubleshoot/windows-server/group-policy/create-central-store-domain-controller) (or to the [PolicyDefinitions](/previous-versions/dotnet/articles/bb530196(v=msdn.10)) directory in the SYSVOL folder of a domain controller if not using a Central Store).

  2. 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 prior to registration.
| | **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:
  1. **Serial number, model, and manufacturer.**
    1. Checks if the serial number already exists in the Windows Autopatch’s managed device database.
  2. **If the device is Intune-managed or not.**
    1. Windows Autopatch looks to see **if the Azure AD device ID has an Intune device ID associated with it**.
      1. If **yes**, it means this device is enrolled into Intune.
      2. If **not**, it means the device isn't enrolled into Intune, hence it can't be managed by the Windows Autopatch service.
    2. **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 Azure AD device attributes gathered and saved to its memory in **step 3a**.
      1. Once it has the device attributes gathered from Azure AD in **step 3a**, the device is flagged with the **Prerequisite failed** status, then added to the **Not registered** tab so the IT admin can review the reason(s) the device wasn't registered into Windows Autopatch. The IT admin will remediate these devices. In this case, the IT admin should check why the device wasn’t enrolled into Intune.
      2. A common reason is when the Azure AD device ID is stale, it doesn’t have an Intune device ID associated with it anymore. To remediate, [clean up any stale Azure AD 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).
    3. **If the device is managed by Intune**, the Windows Autopatch prerequisite check function continues to the next prerequisite check, which evaluates whether the device has checked into Intune in the last 28 days.
  3. **If the device is a Windows device or not.**
    1. Windows Autopatch looks to see if the device is a Windows and corporate-owned device.
      1. **If yes**, it means this device can be registered with the service because it's a Windows corporate-owned device.
      2. **If not**, it means the device is a non-Windows device, or it's a Windows device but it's a personal device.
  4. **Windows Autopatch checks the Windows SKU family**. The SKU must be either:
    1. **Enterprise**
    2. **Pro**
    3. **Pro Workstation**
  5. **If the device meets the operating system requirements**, Windows Autopatch checks whether the device is either:
    1. **Only managed by Intune.**
      1. If the device is only managed by Intune, the device is marked as Passed all prerequisites.
    2. **Co-managed by both Configuration Manager and Intune.**
      1. 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:
        1. **Windows Updates Policies**
        2. **Device Configuration**
        3. **Office Click to Run**
      2. If Windows Autopatch determines that one of these workloads isn’t enabled on the device, the service marks the device as **Prerequisite failed** and moves the device to the **Not registered** tab.
| | **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:
  1. 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%)**.
  2. If the Windows Autopatch tenant’s existing managed device size is **>200**, the deployment ring assignment will be **First (1%)**, **Fast (9%)**, remaining devices go to the **Broad ring (90%)**.
| | **Step 6: Assign devices to a deployment ring group** | Once the deployment ring calculation is done, Windows Autopatch assigns devices to one of the following deployment ring groups:
  1. **Modern Workplace Devices-Windows Autopatch-First**
    1. The Windows Autopatch device registration process doesn’t automatically assign devices to the Test ring represented by the Azure AD group (Modern Workplace Devices-Windows Autopatch-Test). It’s important that you assign devices to the Test ring to validate the update deployments before the updates are deployed to a broader population of devices.
  2. **Modern Workplace Devices-Windows Autopatch-Fast**
  3. **Modern Workplace Devices-Windows Autopatch-Broad**
