Feature Update: Improved Autopatch Reporting
We are improving Windows Autopatch reports to enhance the customer experience. If you are already using Autopatch reports, you will notice the improvements starting on the 18th of November.
When this will happen:
General Availability (Worldwide): We will start to roll out starting the mid-November 2024 and will be generally available to all entitled customers by the end of February 2025.
How will this affect your organization:
Autopatch quality and feature update reports are improving in four ways:
- Autopatch reports will now cover all Entra joined devices in your Intune tenant. Previously, they only covered devices which were members of an Autopatch Group.
- Autopatch reports will be less latent. Changes on the client will be reflected after 4 hours in your reports. Previously, those changes could take up to 48 hours.
- Autopatch reports will be available without any additional steps. Previously, you needed to activate Windows Autopatch features to access Autopatch reporting.
- Autopatch reports will now be available to Intune roles that have Device configuration – view reports permission.
What you need to do to prepare:
Before using Autopatch reports, you must enable Windows diagnostic data in processor configuration for your tenant. This setting is shared between Intune and Autopatch so if you have already enabled it, then no further action is required.
To manage Windows data configurations for your tenant, open the Microsoft Intune admin center and go to Tenant administration > Connectors and tokens > Windows data. For Autopatch reports to work the “Enable features that require Windows diagnostic data in processor configuration” setting must be “On”.
