Title: Is there any way to change the Sync Schedule to Fortnightly
Post by: support@cardinia on May 13, 2024, 05:12:08 PM
As per above, we are wanting to check for updated and Sync to Intune fortnightly instead of the other options. Is there way of doing this or are we stuck with either weekly or monthly?

Hi,

We have had this idea come up previously on our ideas page.

https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-396

Currently, you could create your own schedule using a scheduled task, or any scheduling mechanism, and use the feature that was linked in another comment to trigger the synchronization from the command line. Does that capability fill this request?

Unfortunately, Intune does not presently provide a built-in fortnightly sync option. You can only sync weekly or monthly.

Potential workarounds:
While not ideal, the following are some possible workarounds to consider:

Manual Sync: You might manually start a sync every two weeks. This entails more administrative cost, but it provides you complete control over the time.
Custom Script: If you have scripting skills, you may write a script to initiate a sync every two weeks. This would necessitate more technical knowledge yet provide greater flexibility.
Third-Party utilities: Certain third-party utilities may provide more precise sync scheduling choices. Researching these choices may be beneficial, but be wary of any security concerns.
