Windows Update agents must be configured to communicate with a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server, or they require access to Microsoft Update. For hybrid machines, we recommend installing the Log Analytics agent for Windows by first connecting your machine to [Azure Arc-enabled servers](../../azure-arc/servers/overview.md), and then use Azure Policy to assign the [Deploy Log Analytics agent to Windows Azure Arc machines](../../governance/policy/samples/built-in-policies.md#monitoring) built-in policy definition. Alternatively, if you plan to monitor the machines with VM insights, instead use the [Enable Enable VM insights](../../governance/policy/samples/built-in-initiatives.md#monitoring) initiative.

You can use Update Management with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. To learn more about integration scenarios, see [Integrate Update Management with Windows Endpoint Configuration Manager](mecmintegration.md). The [Log Analytics agent for Windows](../../azure-monitor/agents/agent-windows.md) is required for Windows servers managed by sites in your Configuration Manager environment.

Because Update Management uses Automation runbooks to initiate assessment and update of your machines, review the [version of Python required](../automation-linux-hrw-install.md#supported-runbook-types) for your supported Linux distro.
