If you have setup rings to validate the updates, the update will progress through the ring order. A new update can supersede an update that is queued up if we determine that room stability is improved based on your situation. Updates are typically applied during our nightly maintenance window — which is room local time am — am to avoid any kind of interruptions.
Then, customers must update to a supported version. To maintain a uniform standard across all our managed rooms and to allow us to efficiently identify trending issues, we will support and deploy the two latest Major or Minor Releases N, N-1 of the MTR App software as per the Support and Subscription Services Terms and Conditions.
We will automatically bring non-compliant rooms up to date, bypassing update rings as necessary. The Updates pane displays a high-level overview of update management for your rooms with the following tabs:. This view shows the relevant updates for your tenant and their respective status. To view past updates that are no longer active, select the Include past updates toggle to ON. Rings are used to reduce the risk of issues derived from the deployment of the feature updates.
This is done by gradually deploying the update to the entire site. Each ring should have a list of Microsoft Teams Room rooms and a corresponding rollout schedule. Defining rings is generally a one-time event. Assign rooms to the Staging ring, which is your testbed.
All new updates will roll out here first. Generally, you will want to ensure that your staging ring represents rooms with the diversity of device types in your environment. If there are certain types of rooms with an uncommon configuration or a history of seeing issues, please consider representing them in Staging.
By default, all rooms are placed in this ring. Most of the room devices being used across the enterprise fall into this category. This group should include your most high-profile rooms where you want to minimize disruption proactively. A good example is a large conference room used for executive meetings or large team meetings. Once an update starts with the first ring, the deferment period is the delay in days before the update is initiated on this ring.
Once the update commences on this ring, this is the time to deploy in this ring. For example, if the duration is 5 days, it will deploy over 5 days to the rooms in this ring once the update starts on this ring. The test period starts after the rollout is completed, and once complete, the update moves to the next ring.
Managed services orchestrate updates throughout your organization. The Manageability Team also drew from its own experience getting started with Azure Update Management to create a toolkit to help engineering teams make the same transition.
The toolkit provided prerequisite scripts, like adding the Microsoft Monitoring Agent extension and creating an Azure Log Analytics workspace. It also contained a script to set up Azure Security Center when teams had already created default workspaces; since Azure Update Management supports only one automation account and Log Analytics workspace, the script cleaned up the automation account and linked it to the workspace used for patching.
Next, the Manageability Team took on proving scalability across the datacenter environment. The goal was to take a subset of servers from the centralized patching service in Configuration Manager and patch them through Azure Update Management. They created Scheduled Deployments within the Azure Update Management solution that used the same maintenance windows as those used by Configuration Manager.
This ensured that Configuration Manager would no longer be used for patching activities, but would still be available for other functionality. After the transition was complete, the Manageability Team monitored closely to ensure that decentralization did not negatively affect compliance.
In almost every month since the transition, the Microsoft Digital organization has consistently achieved the 95 percent compliance goal. Microsoft Digital will continue to build tools and automation that improve the patching experience and increase compliance.

They can't do this if power policies prevent them from waking up. In our organization, we strive to set a balance between security and eco-friendly configurations. We recommend the following settings to achieve what we feel are the appropriate tradeoffs:. To a user, a device is either on or off, but for Windows, there are states that will allow an update to occur active and states that do not inactive.
Some states are considered active sleep , but the user may think the device is off. You can override the default settings and prevent users from changing them in order to ensure that devices are available for updates during non-active hours.
One way to ensure that devices can install updates when you need them to is to educate your users to keep devices plugged in during non-active hours. Even with the best policies, a device that isn't plugged in will not be updated, even in sleep mode.
Set the following policies to Enable or Do Not Configure in order to allow the device to use sleep mode:. Set the following policies to 1 Sleep so that when a user closes the lid of a device, the system goes to sleep mode and the device has an opportunity to take an update:. When a device is hibernating, power consumption is very low and the system cannot wake up without user intervention, like pressing the power button.
That said, if a device supporting Traditional Sleep S3 is plugged in, and a Windows update is available, a hibernate state will be delayed until the update is complete. For more, see Powercfg options. The default timeout on devices that support traditional sleep is set to three hours. We recommend that you do not reduce these policies in order to allow Windows Update the opportunity to restart the device before sending it into hibernation:.
Each release of Windows client can introduce new policies to make the experience better for both administrators and their organizations. When we release a new client policy, we either release it purely for that release and later or we backport the policy to make it available on earlier versions.
Also, if you are using an MDM tool Microsoft or non-Microsoft , you can't use the new policy until it's available in the tool interface. As administrators, you have set up and expect certain behaviors, so we expressly do not remove older policies since they were set up for your particular use cases.
However, if you set a new policy without disabling a similar older policy, you could have conflicting behavior and updates might not perform as expected. Policy conflicts are handled differently, depending on how they are ultimately set up:.
The following are policies that you might want to disable because they could decrease update velocity or there are better policies to use that might conflict:. Skip to main content.

Important If the device is unable to reach the Internet, it can't determine when Microsoft published the update, so it won't be able to enforce the deadline.
Important If you used the Configure Active Hours setting in previous versions of Windows 10, these options must be Disabled in order to take advantage of intelligent active hours. Important Older versions of Windows don't support intelligent active hours. If your device runs a version of Windows prior to Windows 10, version , we recommend setting the following policies: Configure active hours.
