Using Azure Update Manager to Patch On-Premises Servers

This document provides a step-by-step guide on how to use Azure Update Manager to patch
on-premises servers. The process involves setting up an Azure Arc connection, configuring
Update Manager, and scheduling patch deployments.

Prerequisites
1. Azure Subscription: Ensure you have an Azure subscription with permissions to register
resources.

2. On-Premises Server Requirements:


- Supported OS: Windows Server 2012 R2 or higher, or specific Linux distributions.
- Admin access on the on-premises servers.

3. Install Azure CLI: For registering and managing resources.

4. Install Azure Arc Agent: Required for managing non-Azure resources through Azure.

Step 1: Register the Azure Arc Resource Provider


1. Open Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell.

1. 2. Run the following command to register the Azure Arc provider:

```bash
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.HybridCompute
```

Step 2: Connect On-Premises Servers to Azure Arc


1. Log in to the Azure portal and navigate to Azure Arc.

2. Under Servers, select Add to onboard a server.

3. Choose Add a single server or Add multiple servers based on your environment.

2. 4. Follow the steps to install the Azure Arc agent on the on-premises server:

 - Download the `ConnectedMachineAgent` installer for Windows or Linux.


 - Run the installer and provide necessary details (tenant ID, client ID, secret).

5. Once the server is connected, it should appear under Azure Arc > Servers.

Step 3: Enable Update Management in Azure Update Manager


1. Go to the Azure Update Manager section in the Azure portal.

2. Select Manage Machines and choose Add Arc-enabled machines.

3. Locate your connected on-premises servers and add them to Update Manager.
Step 4: Configure Patch Settings
1. In Azure Update Manager, navigate to Machines and select your on-premises server.

3. 2. Under Patch Settings, configure:

 - Patch Classification: Security, Critical, or All updates.


 - Update Schedule: Choose the frequency and timing of the patches.

3. Save the settings.

Step 5: Schedule a Patch Deployment


1. In Azure Update Manager, go to Scheduled Patch Deployment.

2. Select Create Deployment.

3. Choose your on-premises server(s) connected via Azure Arc.

4. 4. Configure the deployment settings:

 - Maintenance Window: Set the time frame for applying patches.


 - Reboot Options: Choose if you want the server to reboot automatically after patching.

5. Review and start the deployment.

Step 6: Monitor Patch Deployment


1. Go to Azure Update Manager > Update Deployment History.

2. Review the status of each deployment, including any successful patches, errors, or
reboots.

3. For troubleshooting, check Log Analytics (if configured) for detailed logs.

Additional Notes
- Log Analytics Integration: Connecting to a Log Analytics workspace allows you to monitor
patch compliance and detailed deployment logs.

- Automation with Azure Policies: For larger environments, consider using Azure Policy to
enforce compliance for Update Management.
