Automation Update Management Schedules migrate to Azure Update Manager

Question

Hello,

I migrated all VM's from Automation Update Management to Azure Update Manager.
I see all of the VM's in the Azure Update Manager overview with "Periodic assessment" enabled.
However, I cannot see the schedules that we used in Automation Update Management.

How can I make use of the schedules?

Hi Uhmazing34,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on your question we understand that you want to migrate all VM's from Automation Update Management to Azure Update Manager.

In addition to Saswata, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

The configurations will be created for scheduled patching in Azure Update Manager.

The resource group will be created in the same location and the same subscription as the automation account that is being migrated.

It will have all the list of schedules that got migrated from Azure Automation Update Management to Azure Update Manager.

Please find the below document steps to Automation Update Management to Azure Update Manager:

While triggering the Migration Runbook, hope you have selected MigrateSchedulesAndEnablePeriodicAssessmentForLinkedMachines as true and provided a resource group name(ResourceGroupNameForMaintenanceConfigurations) where the equivalent maintenance resource configurations will be created for scheduled patching in Azure Update Manager. The resource group will be created in the same location and the same subscription as the automation account that is being migrated. It will have all the list of schedules that got migrated from Azure Automation Update Management to Azure Update Manager.
