WaaSDeploymentStatus

Important

Update Compliance was retired on March 31, 2023 and the service has been removed. Update Compliance has been replaced by Windows Update for Business reports. Support for Update Compliance ended on March 31, 2023.

WaaSDeploymentStatus records track a specific update's installation progress on a specific device. Multiple WaaSDeploymentStatus records can exist simultaneously for a given device, as each record is specific to a given update and its type. For example, a device can have both a WaaSDeploymentStatus tracking a Windows Feature Update, and one tracking a Windows Quality Update, at the same time.

Field Type Example Description
Computer string JohnPC-Contoso User or Organization-provided device name. If this appears as '#', then Device Name may not be sent through telemetry. To enable Device Name to be sent with telemetry, see Enroll devices in Update Compliance.
ComputerID string g:6755412281299915 Microsoft Global Device Identifier. This is an internal identifier used by Microsoft. A connection to the end-user managed service account is required for this identifier to be populated; no device data will be present in Update Compliance without this identifier.
DeferralDays int 0 The deferral policy for this content type or UpdateCategory (Windows Feature or Quality).
DeploymentError string Disk Error A readable string describing the error, if any. If empty, there's either no string matching the error or there's no error.
DeploymentErrorCode int 8003001E Microsoft internal error code for the error, if any. If empty, there's either no error or there's no error code, meaning that the issue raised doesn't correspond to an error, but some inferred issue.
DeploymentStatus string Failed The high-level status of installing this update on this device. Possible values are:
  • Update completed: Device has completed the update installation.
  • In Progress: Device is in one of the various stages of installing an update, detailed in DetailedStatus.
  • Deferred: A device's deferral policy is preventing the update from being offered by Windows Update.
  • Canceled: The update was canceled.
  • Blocked: There's a hard block on the update being completed. This could be that another update must be completed before this one, or some other task is blocking the installation of the update.
  • Unknown: Update Compliance generated WaaSDeploymentStatus records for devices as soon as it detects an update newer than the one installed on the device. Devices that haven't sent any deployment data for that update will have the status Unknown.
  • Update paused: Devices are paused via Windows Update for Business Pause policies, preventing the update from being offered by Windows Update.
  • Failed: Device encountered a failure in the update process, preventing it from installing the update. This may result in an automatic retry in the case of Windows Update, unless the DeploymentError indicates the issue requires action before the update can continue.
  • Progress stalled: The update is in progress, but has not completed over a period of 7 days.
  • DetailedStatus string Reboot required A detailed status for the installation of this update on this device. Possible values are:

  • Pre-Download tasks passed: The device has finished all necessary tasks prior to downloading the update.

  • Download started: The update has begun downloading on the device.
  • Download Succeeded: The update has successfully completed downloading.
  • Pre-Install Tasks Passed: Tasks that must be completed prior to installing the update have been completed.
  • Install Started: Installation of the update has begun.
