Constants

 
UpdateAssessmentStatus_Latest
Value: 0
This result within assessmentForCurrent implies that the device is on the latest feature update and quality update available for that device. Within assessmentForUpToDate, this result implies that the device is on the latest quality update for the release of Windows it is running.
UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestSoftRestriction
The latest feature update has not been installed due to a soft restriction. When a soft restriction has been placed on an update, the update will not be automatically installed; a user must self-initiate the download within the Update UX. This status only applies to assessmentForCurrent.
UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestHardRestriction
The latest feature update has not been installed due to a hard restriction. When a hard restriction has been placed on an update, the update is not applicable to the device. This status only applies to assessmentForCurrent.
UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestEndOfSupport
The device is not on the latest update because the device's feature update is no longer supported by Microsoft. When Microsoft stops supporting a feature release, this status will be returned for both assessmentForCurrent and assessmentForUpToDate.



Note   When UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestEndOfSupport is returned, the assessment's UpdateImpactLevel is always UpdateImpactLevel_High.

 
UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestServicingTrain
The device is not on the latest feature update because the device's servicing train limits the device from updating to the latest feature update. For example: if a device is on Current Branch for Business (CBB) and a new feature update has been released for Current Branch (CB), this will be returned. This status only applies to assessmentForCurrent.
UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestDeferredFeature
The latest feature update has not been installed due to the device's Windows Update for Business Feature Update Deferral policy. Determining daysOutOfDate takes into account deferral policies; daysOutOfDate will not begin incrementing until the deferral period has expired. This status only applies to assessmentForCurrent.
UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestDeferredQuality
The device is not on the latest quality update due to the device's Windows Update for Business Quality Update Deferral policy. Determining daysOutOfDate takes into account deferral policies; daysOutOfDate will not begin incrementing until the deferral period has expired.
UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestPausedFeature
The device is not on the latest feature update due to the device having paused Feature Updates. Whether a device is paused is not factored into the calculation of daysOutOfDate. This status only applies to assessmentForCurrent.
UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestPausedQuality
The device is not on the latest quality update due to the device having paused Quality Updates. Whether a device is paused is not factored into the calculation of daysOutOfDate. daysOutOfDate does not factor whether a device is paused into its calculation.
UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestManaged
The device is not on the latest update because the approval of updates is not done through Windows Update.
UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestUnknown
The device is not on the latest update due to a reason that cannot be determined by the assessment.
UpdateAssessmentStatus_NotLatestTargetedVersion
The device is not on the latest feature update due to the device's Windows Update for Business Target Version policy. This policy is keeping the device on the targeted feature release version.

Remarks

This enumeration is used most often with the UpdateAssessment and OSUpdateAssessment structures, which are in turn used with the GetOSUpdateAssessment method for IWaaSAssessor.
