Bulk Modify 'Update-Only' Assignments to Now Include Filter

Hi All,

Just wondering if there is away to bulk modify assignments for all 'Update-Only' assignment groups to include a device filter.

As we are having issue during autopilot phase where if pre-provisioned it needs to validate all the 'update-only' apps are deployed before moving on which is blowing out the time of the autopilot.

We have a remediation task that will set the device category to 'ESP Finished' and a device filter that if category is not 'null'

so it will only start checking after the ESP page - pain now is we need to add this filter to all our deployed apps that use update-only..... 300+ apps

Would be nice if there was a bulk way to do this, maybe in the publisher app?

Are you using the Patch My PC Publisher, or Patch My PC Cloud? With the Publisher, it's possible to delete assignments for Win32 apps in bulk but not add or change the assignments. With Cloud, it's not possible to do anything in bulk across any packages in Intune (yet, see this feature request).
