Integrate with Azure Update Manager to provide 3rd party updates for servers managed in Azure.

Hi, unfortunately company is thinking of completely removing Configuration Manager even in AD forests with servers only. Since we must be PCI compliant, patching 3rd-party apps on servers is critical. As such, PMPC Publisher integration with Azure Update Manager would be very beneficial for us (without need for WSUS whatsoever) - that would allow us to onboard on-premises servers to Azure Arc and leverage PMPC Publisher & AUM integration to keep servers PCI compliant.
While PMPC doesn’t officially support AUM as a fully integrated solution, we recognize that some customers who have already transitioned client management entirely to Intune may be eager to move from ConfigMgr to Azure Arc for server management and AUM for first-party patching.

Hey everyone, we recently released a KB article to assist customers who have already moved client management to Intune and are exploring alternatives for server patching using AUM:
