Windows Update for Business reports only provides data for the standard Desktop Windows client version and isn't currently compatible with Windows Server, Surface Hub, IoT, or other versions.
Windows client servicing channels
Windows Update for Business reports supports Windows client devices on the following channels:
- General Availability Channel
- Windows Update for Business reports counts Windows Insider Preview devices, but doesn't currently provide detailed deployment insights for them.
Windows operating system updates
- For Changes to Windows diagnostic data collection, installing the January 2023 release preview cumulative update, or a later equivalent update, is recommended
Diagnostic data requirements
At minimum, Windows Update for Business reports requires devices to send diagnostic data at the Required level (previously Basic). For more information about what's included in different diagnostic levels, see Configure Windows diagnostic data in your organization.
The following levels are recommended, but not required:
- The Enhanced level for Windows 10 devices
- The Optional level for Windows 11 devices (previously Full)
Device names don't appear in Windows Update for Business reports unless you individually opt-in devices by using a policy. The configuration script does this for you, but when using other client configuration methods, set one of the following to display device names:
- CSP: System/AllowDeviceNameInDiagnosticData
- Group Policy: Allow device name to be sent in Windows diagnostic data under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Data Collection and Preview Builds
Tip
Windows Update for Business reports uses services configuration, also called OneSettings. Disabling the services configuration can cause some of the client data to be incorrect or missing in reports. For more information, see the DisableOneSettingsDownloads policy settings.
Microsoft is committed to providing you with effective controls over your data and ongoing transparency into our data handling practices. For more information about data handling and privacy for Windows diagnostic data, see Configure Windows diagnostic data in your organization and Changes to Windows diagnostic data collection.
