Deep dive into Wave customization

NOTE: Since the release of this video, we renamed Servicing Profiles to Cloud Update and introduced a new user interface and set of capabilities. So, the navigation is slightly different now, but the feature discussed in this video is still there and basically works the same as described.

Time to take a deeper look at a new feature in Servicing Profiles: Wave Customization. Meet Diksha, the product manager behind the feature and Martin from the Microsoft 365 Apps Ranger team. Get a full walkthrough of the feature and how you can use it to customize your deployment rings of Microsoft 365 Apps updates using Servicing profiles.

NOTE 2: Martin here. Quick correction: At 4:38 I mentioned that Wave 4 would start on day 20 after Patch Tuesday when the time between waves is set to 5. Got my math wrong :( Wave 4 will actually start on day 15 (Wave 1 = Day 0/Patch Tuesday; Wave 2 = Day 5; Wave 3 = Day 10; Wave 4 = Day 15).

Mighty excited about this. Glad to be apart of this improvement.

How does the update deadline slider work with rollout waves? Consider this example: I created 2 waves. I have the deadline slider set to 5 days and the "Days Between start of each wave" slider set to 3 days. Wave 1 will initialize immediately on patch Tuesday and 365 patches will force install on wave 1 devices, 5 days later. Wave 2 will initialize 3 days after patch tuesday and will force install on wave 2 devices, 5 days after that. The final "catch-all" wave will initialize 6 days after patch Tuesday (or 3 days after wave 2) and will force install 5 days after that. Is this correct?

From what I would understand there would be an Azure AD group that determines who gets the servicing profile. If a device in one of the waves is not also in the first mentioned group will it not be affected by the servicing profile?

Hi, should we go for servicing profile or windows autopatch for windows 10?

How can we deactiate/remove a servicing profile? ..we testet this on a smal group of devices, but when removing the group, Servicing profile is targeting all devices in the tenant. Workaround is targeting an empty SG.
