Some IT Pros automatically deploy Security Updates. Others test them first. Testing can take a few days for some and a few months for others. Please vote and comment if you want this topic covered in the Windows IT Pro Insider.

Hello, I would appreciate if we could get some upfront insights on how this is all going to work technically. At this stage I would consider adopting a similar approach as was done within the Insider program, e.g. create fast / slow rings within the Enterprise.

What would be super cool , is if within a next version of ConfigMgr there would be some functionality provided in managing such rings, like all users / devices from a certain OU, Department, Business unit etc.

So basically, let me define rings and then let me define ring members , these ring members could be based on ConfigMgr collections for example.

Cheers

Hi Alex:

WSUS (and therefore config mgr) let you create and use groups as "rings" already now. As a matter of fact this was one of the best practices demo'ed by Johan at our Ignite session. Do you use groups as rings now? Any recommendations or issues with this?

Thx
