New Feature: Alerts for Windows Autopatch policy conflicts Public Preview announcement

Originally posted by Microsoft Dec 12, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

IT admins will be able to see, review and act on Intune policy conflicts that impact the Windows Autopatch service. When the Windows Autopatch service detects a policy or policies in the tenant that conflict with a setting or settings in another Intune device policy, Tenant admins must review conflicting policies, impacted settings and manually resolve the conflict/s so the Autopatch service can be restored to all service-managed devices.

When will this happen:

The public preview will take place on January 22, 2024. The Policy health view will be available within the Windows Autopatch blade in your tenant.

How will this affect your organization:

With this feature, IT admins will have:

1. A list view of all Autopatch policies that conflict with other device policies in the tenant.
2. A summary view of conflicting policies, affected devices, and open alerts
3. A detailed view of affected devices
4. Alerts that include details of conflicting policies, the settings and the Azure AD groups they are assigned to. Admins must take necessary action so the expected policy is successfully assigned to the device.

There will be no alerts if there are no conflicts with Windows Autopatch policies. When conflicts are detected every 24 hours, alerts will remain in view until IT admins have manually resolved the conflicts.

What you need to do to prepare:

No action is required. If you have any questions or concerns, or need assistance, file a service request by visiting the Microsoft Intune admin center.
