Exam MD-102 topic 1 question 17 discussion

It should be immediately and 60 days. Feature updates are deferred for 30 days so no way those can be installed *within 30 days*, even if you take other logic, at best it would have been installed post 30 days but same time below link clearly says, date of publish + any deferral means 30 days plus, only then policy starts countdown. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/update-policies

I am sharing this clip that would help implementing this policy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChPSbXA3XpM

It should be immediately and 60 days. If the option is given 31 days would be correct if given in the option as the question says (within and not after) so 30 days can't be true. Only option is left beyond 30 days is 60 days.

Answer is incorrect. Configuration: Feature update deferral period: 30 days Deadline for feature updates: 30 days Workflow: April 1: Microsoft releases a new feature update. May 1: The feature update becomes visible to devices (due to the 30-day deferral period). May 30: Devices must install the update by this date (30 days after it becomes visible). After May 30: If the update hasn’t been installed, it is enforced, and the device restarts as needed. Important Notes: The deferral period acts as a buffer before devices even know about the update. The deadline ensures timely installation after the update becomes visible.

Updates that contain fixes and improvements to existing Windows functionality: Given that the "Quality update deferral period (days)" is set to 0, quality updates, which contain fixes and improvements to existing functionality, will be installed immediately. Answer: will be installed immediately Updates that contain new Windows functionality: Given that the "Feature update deferral period (days)" is set to 30, feature updates, which contain new Windows functionality, can be deferred for 30 days. Answer: can be deferred for 30 days So, the selected options are: Updates that contain fixes and improvements to existing Windows functionality will be installed immediately. Updates that contain new Windows functionality can be deferred for 30 days.

30 and 60 are both correct for the second question depending on how you read it. - up to 30 days when the updates are released to the computer (for the deadline) - up to 60 days when the updates are released by Microsoft to the public. (30 days waiting until they are available to the pc and then again 30 days for the deadline 'will be installed within xx days of release' --> Release to that specific computer or release from windows to the public??

"The older policies started enforcing deadlines once the device reached a restart pending state for an update. The new policy starts the countdown for the update installation deadline from when the update is published plus any deferral." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/update-policies "The deadline calculation for both quality and feature updates is based off the time the client's update scan initially discovered the update. Previously, the deadline was based off the release date of the update for quality updates and the reboot pending date for feature updates. The change for deadline calculation was made to improve the predictability of restart." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/wufb-compliancedeadlines

Answer is correct.

It's not 30 + 30 It's 30. - Feature Updates deferral Period (Days) = if set to 30, updates won't arrive on system before 30 days have past. - Deadline for feature updates = The deadline behavior is nothing more than when you deploy updates to the machine, it will wait for the number of days specified. For example, if you set the deadline to 30 days, the device will wait for 30 days based on the Automatic update behavior and then restart the device after two days at maintenance time.

Got this from ChatGPT 4: In the provided update rings policy (Policy1), the Feature Update deferral period is set to 30 days, which means that feature updates can be deferred for up to 30 days. The Deadline for feature updates is also set to 30 days. This means that once the feature update is available, it can be deferred for a maximum of 30 days, but it must be installed within that 30-day period. The combination of these settings ensures that feature updates will be installed within 30 days of their release. There is no additional 30-day grace period for feature updates in this scenario. Therefore, the correct answer is 30 days of release

immediately and 60 days quality update deferral periode 0 day feature update deferral periode 30 days + deadline for feature update 30 days

IMMEDIATELY and 60 DAYS. The new policy starts the countdown for the update installation deadline from when the update is published plus any deferral. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/update-policies

It's 30 days, i just took the exam today and got the 2 points.

For the second option "functionality update" meaning (Quality Update for windows ) which I THINK need to be installed "immediately" or if there is no option then (1 day) will do .. I think

Correct Feature updates are released as soon as they become available. Feature updates aren't available for LTSC devices. Quality updates: Quality updates are traditional operating system updates, typically released on the second Tuesday of each month (though they can be released at any time)

The answer is correct. The Quality updates will be published 30 days after market release, Feature Updates can have a value of upto 365 days. For both "This period is in addition to any deferral period that is part of the service channel you select. " In this case it is presumed it is the normal plebs channel. Both answers are correct.
