intune feature update

Question

HI

I am trying to push the 20h2 feature update on to our on prem computers using intunes. but this doesn't seems to work. then I find out that u have to configure domian Hybrid join so then intune will have full control over updates and I should be able to push the feature update.

so I want to know is this the case ? or is there any other option ex if we don't have azure AD ?? can u still push the feature update 20h2 to on prem windows 10 computers ?? if so how

please any advise highly apreciate

Hello,

Yes your understanding is absolutely correct the machine either needs to be hybrid azure ad join or azure ad join in order to push updates from Intune console. The reason why you need this is that Intune is a SAAS service and in order to connect with Intune it needs a dependent for authentication that is azure AD.

If you don't have azure ad you can not enroll your machines into Intune. If you don't have azure ad and you can use any on prem solution for deploying the updates like system center config manager and through that channel the Feature updates will be deployed.
