The pre and post events in Azure Update Manager allow you to perform certain tasks automatically before and after a scheduled maintenance configuration. For example, using pre and post events, you can execute the following tasks on machines that are part of a schedule. The following list isn't exhaustive, and you can create pre and post events as per your need.
