Windows update log retention

Katos

Hi all!

Looking at InTune for our update management at work, and we are looking to make use of Update Compliance reporting.
With this in mind, we’re reaching out to others to see a few things.

1) How long do you retain your update logs for, and why? We can see that 30 day retention is free, but we’re considering a 90-day retention.
2) How have you managed the roll-out of Update compliance and update reporting.
3) We have noticed a slight bug, in that some sections of InTune are reporting different statistics (but the same data set) as others, leading to our team having confusion when checking at a glance. Has anyone else come across this - and how has it been handled?

Thanks in advance!

Katos Hi - we have also recently purchased the full blown InTune stack at work, and will be extending our usage of it accordingly over the coming weeks. See below for my comments

Katos How long do you retain your update logs for, and why? We can see that 30 day retention is free, but we’re considering a 90-day retention.

We have a requirement for 365 days - in the finance sector, this is generally the tolerated minimum, but we also use AlienVault as a repository with a 1Tb/month allowance.

Katos How have you managed the roll-out of Update compliance and update reporting.

Not yet. We are going to extend Windows Updates into InTune, so am interested in how this pans out for you

Katos Has anyone else come across this - and how has it been handled?

Can’t say I’ve seen this happen
