Update Management Center

[PatrikPriess]

Hi fellow nerds

We are testing quite heavy on the Update management center for replacement of WSUS/SCCM. 

Both on our Azure virtual machines in combination with Arc to cover all our onprem Vmware datacenters' VMs. In scope we have around 200 Azure VMs and 160 ARC VMs

I looks like a very strong tool to replace our forever struggle to maintain WSUS.

I know its still in preview, but wanted to know if anyone else struggle with the Schedules for the ARC servers? We can add arc machines to the schedules, but they kinda disappear again without any warning or log entry, meaning we need to update all by hand (still a major benefit and very few clicks to update, but would be neat if schedules worked)

I have not found any good forums for debates around UMC, so hope to find fellow nerds here i can work with.

@PatrikPriess the Update management center still in preview mode and any abnormal behavior could be expected, I recommend you to use the update management blade from the azure automation account for the time being until they released the GA of the new update management center.

I can update and say it all worked the following day. I bet its just a preview thingy 🙂

I cant wait until this goes GA. Very exciting !

We have the exact same problem in 2024, ARC servers made a member of maintenance configurations/schedules just randomly disappear again ~24h later.
Anyways got any suggestings on how to bypass this bug?
We can't use dynamic memberships because the filter says it can filter on tags, but in the end it does not filter on tags at all...
