Azure Arc - Patching not working

Client has Azure Arc set up for patching. They said it was not working and looking at the logs of one that did not work, I saw an entry that stated patching was being done by System Center Configuration Manager. The SCCM client was set to patch, but they di dnot have anything set up and the reg entry for the WU server was not set. Curious to what this error is. I did have them completely turn off patching through the client settings just for grins.

    The SCCM client being set to do Software Updates seems to have been the issue.

    @Matt Dillon - Thanks for reaching out and for being patient.

    Ensure to have them completely turn off patching through the client settings just for grins.
    Ideally if it is not managed by SCCM, it shouldn't look for WU server to patch.

    Hope that helps
