Microsoft ha comenzado a implementar su panel de estado de las versiones de Windows en el portal de administración de Microsoft 365, una iniciativa que la compañía anunció a principios de este mes en su conferencia Ignite totalmente virtual.
"This will be a phased rollout and we expect this information experience to be available to all affected customers by the end of April," Mabel Gomes, senior communications program manager in the Windows group, said in a March 25 post on a corporate blog. .
The health of the original version of Windows was released almost two years ago as one of the changes Microsoft instituted after the disastrous debut of Windows 10 1809, the fall 2018 version of the operating system, which had to be removed from publication because it was deleted. data.
This dashboard, later called the "hub," provided information about the current deployment status and known issues, both open and closed cases, for all Windows 10 updates. Notably, the hub was the only public place where Microsoft posted information about all of the Windows 10 crashers, issues that prevented machines from moving to the next update (and thus flagged systems that Microsoft would refuse to offer an update to). ).
The health hub for public releases can be found here.
The integrity of the version of Windows added to the Microsoft 365 admin center will be similar but not identical to the existing hub; essentially, it will be a "public hub-plus".
"Because the Admin Center is designed specifically for IT administrators, you'll find more technical details about known issues, earlier reminders of important milestones like end of service, and more resources to help you get started. Plan and implement Windows Updates" Gomes wrote about the Release Health plugin. "Our goal is to help you quickly diagnose problems in your environment, provide actions to quickly mitigate them, and provide root cause analysis for better support."
To access the health status of Windows versions in the management portal, customers must be a Microsoft 365 Enterprise E3/A3/F3, Microsoft 365 Enterprise E5/A5, Windows 10 Enterprise E3/A3, or Windows 10 Company E5 subscriber / TO 5.
It is interesting to note that Microsoft has disowned the health monitor from this post. user environments or to collect information about the client environment," to, for example, publish crash information specific to the version(s) of operating system an organization is running. In the next breath, however, Microsoft has recognized that "future iterations of may target content based on customer location, industry, or version of Windows. The latter appears to be a selling point for version status in the admin center, as it would only display information that affected the company's own Windows 10 PCs. Chances are, if or when Microsoft focuses on version status on local devices, it will use telemetry collected by the operating system to do this, the same telemetry used by Desktop Analytics (born Windows Analytics).
A more detailed explanation of what the Release Integrity component of the Administration Center provides is available on the Microsoft Docs site. Currently, only the cloud-based portal includes version integrity.
