You could also change the targeted collection in the existing deployment to one that includes a larger set of clients. After you verify the test group successfully installed the software updates, add a new deployment to the rule. For example, create the ADR to initially target a collection of test clients. The site deploys the software update group to the clients in the target collection.įirst, determine your automatic software update deployment strategy. The site adds the software updates to a software update group. The following list provides the general workflow to automatically deploy software updates:Ĭreate an ADR that specifies deployment settings. You define the criteria for an ADR to automate the deployment process.

This method of deployment is common for monthly software updates (typically known as "Patch Tuesday") and for managing definition updates.

Starting on April 21, 2020, Office 365 ProPlus is being renamed to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.Typically, you start by manually deploying software updates to create a baseline for your clients, and then you manage software updates on clients by using an automatic or phased deployment. There are three main scenarios for deploying software updates: For more information about software update deployments, see Software update deployment workflows. After the attempted installation, client computers send state messages back to the site server to report whether the software update installation was successful. Alternatively, the user on the client computer can schedule or initiate the software update installation prior to the deadline. If you configure a required software update deployment, the software updates are automatically installed at the scheduled deadline. For more information about the client cache setting, see Configure the client cache. This is regardless of the maximum cache size setting on the client. Unlike other deployment types, software updates are all downloaded to the client cache.
