By using the ZoomDevice Management (ZDM) web interface, it is possible to assign Microsoft updates to Windows devices within ZoomDevice Management (ZDM). The administrator can create an update schedule in which Microsoft updates are automatically installed on all enrolled devices according to the schedule. When the time for updates comes around, users can also select which devices and/or update packages they want to include in the update, so that only certain devices can be updated at once.

Prerequisites for managing Windows system updates with ZDM

• ZDM has been enrolled for Windows Zoom Rooms
• Owner, administrator, or Zoom Rooms role associated with the account
