"Microsoft states, 'We get requests from various customers asking us how we 'push patches' in Intune vs SCCM. The answer is... we don't.' This reflects a significant shift in patch management philosophy."
"With Intune, the focus shifts from delivery to behavior. Admins will control their environments indirectly through compliance policies that determine OS version and patch level."
"Devices that fall outside compliance tolerances will be flagged as noncompliant, leading to potential restrictions on access to critical workplace applications."
"The end of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) in September 2024 marks a push towards cloud-managed update tools, reinforcing the need for a new approach to patch management."
Microsoft Intune is changing its patch management approach by focusing on compliance with defined standards rather than pushing patches as packages. IT admins will configure Windows Update behavior and measure device compliance. The emphasis will be on setting expectations for updates, including update times and restart experiences. Noncompliant devices will face access restrictions to workplace applications. This shift aligns with Microsoft's broader strategy to move organizations toward cloud-managed update tools, as seen with the discontinuation of WSUS and integration of Windows Autopatch into Intune.
