How to connect SCCM to Windows Analytics Upgrade Readiness
In order to start using all the data in the Upgrade Readiness solution in Windows Analytics, we need to connect ConfigMgr to Upgrade Readiness. Once that is done, we can create dynamic collection based on what devices are ready to start upgrading to the next Windows 10 Feature Update.
This blog will not go into details on how to monitor and resolve issues in the Upgrade readiness solution. That might come in a later post.
Why?
Why is this cool? Because we can leverage the data available in Windows Analytics, to make sure our devices only gets upgraded once we’ve confirmed they are ready to upgrade in the Upgrade readiness solution.

- Owner on the Log Analytics Workspace Resource group
- Log Analytics Workspace with Upgrade Readiness Solution
- ConfigMgr Infrastructure
