Migrating to Azure Update Manager issue with schedules

Hi,

During the migration to Azure update manager from Update management I had failures under migrating the schedules step so I changed the setting to false (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/update-manager/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager?WT.mc_id=Portal-Microsoft_Azure_Automation&tabs=update-mgmt Step 1: Migration of machines and schedules).

After the change the migration completes successfully. But my question is if I run step 2 and deboard, I know the schedules will be disabled but how long will the schedules remain visible in Update management?

Thanks,

D

    Hello !

    Thank you for posting on MS Learn Q&A.

    After deboarding, the old schedules should no longer run, but there is no guaranteed cleanup time for when they disappear from the old update management UI. They may remain visible as disabled Automation schedules or software update configs until the portal refreshes, the old solution is removed from view or you manually clean up the old artifacts.

    And because you set schedule migration to false, those old schedules were not migrated to Azure Update Manager since it uses maintenance configs for recurring schedules so you should recreate or migrate the required schedules there before deboarding the old solution.
