Introduction
If you are using Windows Update For Business (WUFB) to take care of your feature and quality updates for your co-managed SCCM clients, then you really want to make sure this report is working for you. It will give you valuable information such as:
1) A pie chart showing the total devices targeted with a feature update along with a break down - a count of machines in progress, successfully completed, failed, cancelled or on hold.
2) A list of all the machines in scope for upgrade and the state they are in: Installing, Installed, Needs Attention, Offering or Pending.
3) A sub status for the current state: Download complete, Download start, Install Start, Reboot required, etc.
4) Alert message: Disk Full, Insufficient Update connectivity, Not applicable etc.
This is a lot of useful information and when you have thousands of machines upgrading, well you really need to have this report working.
But it is a preview report and it does have some dependencies - so here I present the steps I took to get it working for a customer. You might like to follow and impress your manager with this useful report.
Not all these steps may be necessary, or documented requirements - but if your report is not working they may help to get it working.
Note: The report can be found in the Intune portal at All Services\Reports\Windows updates (preview)\Report tab\Windows Feature Update Report.
Tip 1 - Check your CM version.
My client's MECM is on CB 2107.
Version 2010 runs out of support at the end of this month. You will be wanting to upgrade if you are still on 2010, and at least upgrade to 2107. I am not saying you are required to upgrade to 2107, but my client couldn't get this report working while on 2103.
Tip 2 - Make sure CoMgmtSettingsProd Properties has Workloads correctly configured.
I know it appears obvious, but I do also know not all have years of experience with this product. And so I will state the obvious - you need to check your co-management workload settings in Administration\Overview\Cloud Services\Cloud Attach. Right click on the CoMgmtSettingsProd object and select Properties. Click on Workloads and ensure that Windows Update Policies are handled by Intune.
Tip 3 - Ensure you have a Windows Health Monitoring Configuration Profile in place.
You will need to create and assign a configuration profile in the Intune portal. Navigate to All Services\Devices\Windows\Configuration Profiles. Create and assign a Windows Health Monitoring Profile. Ensure that:
1) Platform is Windows 10 and Later.
2) Profile type is Templates.
3) Template name is Windows Health monitoring.
4) Health Monitoring is enabled.
5) Scope is both Windows updates and analytics.
