add the possibility to approve updates
Now, the only thing you can do is allow only ALL updates from one or more categories. We like to have more control over which updates will be installed. Basically the same as you can do in WSUS by approving or declining specific updates.

Promote updates across subscriptions
As an engineer
I want to be able to promote updates across environments in different subscriptions
So that I have confidence that an update does not impact my applicationWe have VMs in different environment subscriptions (dev/test/prod) across difference log analytics workspaces. We would like an update to be automatically applied to the dev subscription before being applied to the test and then the prod subscription. This will allow us to have confidence that the update does not impact the VMs and the applications deployed to them.

List Machines with their FQDN instead of the Computername without Domain suffix
At the Moment Computers are listed without their Domain Suffix. If you have multiple Domains/Subdomains you have no chance to know which Machine belongs to which Domain if you have naming guides, like
contoso-dc01.michigan.contoso.com
contoso-dc01.newyork.contoso.combecause you will see two machines with "contoso-dc01".

Ability to deploy Preview updates
There should be an option to install Preview updates, such as KB4338831 (July 18, 2018 Preview of Monthly Rollup) which fixes critical issues in KB4338815 (the regular July 2018 Monthly Rollup).
Right now (end of July 2018), after we update our machines using Update Management, we still need to install KB4338831 manually on each machine to keep important network services from locking up.

Add "Installed" UpdateState for Linux VMs.
We have a Power BI report for "Updates Installed this month" for our environment, based on UpdateState column in LogAnalytics, but it works only with Windows VMs as there is no "Installed" state for LinuxVMs, only "Needed" and "NotNeeded".

"Schedule Update Deployment" button is initially missing
I'll admit, I tried out this feature 3x without reading the online docs. It's fairly straightforward but during VM configuration, I kept looking for the "Schedule Update Deployment" button. If you were to add those buttons right away in a grayed out state with the 'i' hover button saying "Please wait - VM configuration in progress", then it would have been very intuitive to use without any doc assistance.

Allow us the ability to deny or clear out a update not reporting correctly
I am having an issue which keeps showing missing KB2267602 , which are defender updates but they are old and new definitions are already installed. Also getting 2 hosts with Intel - System - 10/3/2017 12:00:00 AM - 11.7.0.1045, and also 3 machines with Microsoft driver update for MS Publisher Imagesetter. If there was a way to deny these thru Azure it would be great as it never shows the machines up to date.

Schedule immediate compliance refresh function
I'd like to be able to schedule a refresh of compliance data (outstanding patches) whenever the next heartbeat occurs. Unless I'm missing something, the data can be somewhat stale and offers no easy way of getting it updated in a more timely fashion.

Issue with update management
1. create a vm with linux123
2. ENable update management and run the update management (once)
3. delete the vm/resource group
4. create the resource group/vm with exact same name & parameters (linux123)
5. ENable update managementAt this point , the vm always stays in 'Not assesed' state and reports as complaint at the vm level.
support confirmed the oms files got corrupted and they had to clean it up and reinstall oms agent again
The behaviour is consistent with atleast two vms.

Offset schedule by x number of days
Need ability to schedule recurring jobs with an offset of a number of days. This allows us to schedule update deployments based on the Patch Tuesday schedule to our test and production servers on separate weekends without ever changing the schedules. This is standard functionality in Solarwinds.
Example: Monthly at 8:00 PM on second Tuesday with additional offset of 11 days

Microsoft driver update for MS Publisher Color Printer
Please remove "Microsoft driver update for MS Publisher Color Printer" from the list of missing updates for Windows Server 2016 VMs. This was already an issue over a year ago in the old update management solution in OMS and is still not fixed.
I even opened a case REG:117050315683024 back then because that driver didn't even fit into the logic of the update script. The bug was fixed but the uninstallable update still remains to this day2 votesInvestigating

UI Confirmation For Initial Scan
Provide feedback for when the 'baseline state' is captured so that we know when we can start monitoring for changes to the system.
I plan on using this tool to diagnose why installing software on a Linux VM renders it useless upon next boot. Therefore I want to know when the baseline has been established before I start the installation process.

Per User pricing
OMS is a great solution for monitoring devices, etc. It would be great if there was a pricing model based on user count. This would allow the collection of logs/update data/changes/etc from Desktops, Laptops, phones, or other devices associated with that user. Paying per node for a user with 3 devices when combined with Microsoft 365 licensing is just too pricey. Ideally, it would be great to see Microsoft 365 pricing include the Log Analytics, Update Management, and Anti-Malware solutions from OMS for all of the users devices.
2 voteswe changed pricing models. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/automation/ – does this meet your needs better?

driver updates incorrectly reporting
I have several windows systems and VMs that are misreporting driver updates required. I have run Windows Update, scanned for updates from driver manufactures tool kits, and I have even gone to device manager and attempted to search for and manual install latest drivers (that I already had installed.) Some of the drivers are old as the component is a few years old (like processors from 2013 with last driver update in 2015).
Is there a way to clear the cache, or flag it as ignore so that it does not pop until a new driver actually becomes available (which…

Filtering update history in the portal
The history tab in the portal only gives the option to filter by status. I would love to be able to filter by update name. I've got hourly updates for virus definitions which swamps the log if I want to check less update schedules.
