Where Do You Set the Android Enterprise Maintenance Window in Intune?

MD-102 By islever Editorial Last updated

Short answer

B In the Android Enterprise device restrictions profile, configure General and set System update to Maintenance window for the fully managed devices.

Question

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that includes Microsoft Intune. The subscription contains corporate-owned, fully managed Android Enterprise devices. You plan to deploy a configuration profile that will have a device restrictions profile type named Profile1. Profile1 will assign maintenance windows for system updates. What should you configure from the Configuration settings for Profile1?
  1. Device experience
  2. General Correct Answer
  3. Connectivity
  4. Power Settings

Key Takeaways

It tests whether you know the System update maintenance window sits under General in the Android Enterprise device restrictions template — the trap is assuming updates belong to the more intuitively named Device experience section.

Intune Android Enterprise device restrictions profiles configure system update maintenance windows from the General category, not Device experience. This page confirms General (B) is the correct category for assigning maintenance windows on corporate-owned, fully managed Android Enterprise devices.

Common mistake: Picking Device experience (A) because system updates sound like a device-experience concern; in Intune's Android Enterprise device restrictions template the maintenance window fields only appear under General > System update.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

In the Intune Android Enterprise device restrictions template for corporate-owned, fully managed devices, the General category is where the System update setting lives. Selecting Maintenance window as the update type reveals the Maintenance window start and end time fields, which is exactly what Profile1 needs to assign update windows. This mirrors Microsoft's documented Android Enterprise device restrictions settings, where System update is grouped with device-level restrictions under General. Choosing General (B) therefore points to the correct node in Profile1's configuration.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Device experience (A) is the most tempting distractor because system updates feel like a "device experience" concern, but this template does not expose the System update maintenance window there. Connectivity (C) holds Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and similar network-related restrictions, so it has nothing to do with update scheduling. Power Settings (D) is not the category that hosts system update scheduling in this profile — that wording belongs to other platform profiles (such as Windows) and is a pure distractor here.

Community Comment Notes

ten1ton states the path plainly — "General -> System update -> maintenance window" — for Android Enterprise device restrictions. Knight_Of_Peace agrees that '"Maintenance Window" can be setup from General' and walks through Devices > Configuration > Android Enterprise > Device restrictions > General > System update. jdr002 and bigreg both report they tested this in a tenant and confirmed General (B). Meek_Learner argues for Device experience (A) and lists system update type and maintenance window there, but that minority claim is not supported by the template. chafe is skeptical that any listed answer fits, listing General settings they observed, but that reflects the truncated or misread template rather than the documented location of System update.

Exam Strategy

For Android Enterprise device restrictions questions, memorize the category map: System update and maintenance windows live in General, while Device experience holds experience-level toggles. If an option sounds semantically right but you cannot picture the exact blade, trust the documented category layout rather than intuition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Device experience wrong for the system update maintenance window?

The System update maintenance window in Android Enterprise device restrictions lives under General, not Device experience, so choosing Device experience will not expose the maintenance window fields.

Which General setting in Profile1 assigns the update window?

In Profile1, open General > System update, select Maintenance window, then set the maintenance window start and end times.

    Correct: Android Enterprise -> Device restrictions -> General -> System update -> maintenance window
  2. jdr002 👍 2 Answered B
    Correct. Tested in Client's tenancy.

    I have just spent an hour checking every setting in a device restrictions template and none of these answers are correct. Device Experience: Doesn't exist as category in standard device restriction template General: Screen cap, Copy paste, man. unenrol, man. root cert install, camera, onedrive file sync, removable storage, geolocation, internet sharing, phone reset, usb connection, antitheft mode, Cortana, voice recording, device name mod, add provisioning packages, remove prov pack, device discovery, task switcher, sim card error, ink workspace, autopilot reset, require network during setup, DMA, End process from task man. Connectivity: Bunch of wifi and bluetooth settings, no maintenance window. Power Settings: Plugged in and on battery behaviours, no maintenance window. You can do this with a config policy through the settings catalogue and WUfB but as it stands I don't think this question makes much sense.

    In Microsoft Intune, when configuring a Device restrictions profile for corporate-owned, fully managed Android Enterprise devices, the Device experience section contains settings related to system updates, including: •System update type (Automatic, Postponed, Maintenance window) •Maintenance window start and end times This setting ensures updates occur during designated time windows, reducing disruptions to users.

    "Maintenance Window" can be setup from General. Intune --> Devices --> Configuration --> Create New Policy --> Android Enterprise --> Device restrictions --> General --> System update: Maintenance window.
