Does Azure Update Manager support CIS-hardened images (Windows 2016/2019/2022)? I have deployed Windows Server operating systems from the Azure Marketplace and hardened these images using CIS Benchmark policies downloaded from (https://www.cisecurity.org/cis-benchmarks.)

    Hi,

    Here is the list of CIS-hardened images for which Azure Update Manager supports. If the image you are using is not one of those than it is not supported. You can try fill in this form although it is unclear if it is still valid. If you are not using CIS image I would suggest to use deploy CIS image instead of applying CIS on unsupported image by Azure Update Manager.
