Preparing for Microsoft BC Updates

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi people,

I'm working for a Microsoft Partner in the Netherlands as a consultant and we are getting more and more clients that work in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. We find it difficult to prepare those clients well for the automatic Business Central Updates. 

We are wondering ourselves how we can prepare ourself and our clients for the updates that Microsoft is automatically pushing.

One of the questions I have; How can we update our Sandbox to test everything before updating the production database?

I hope somebody can help me out., and maybe give some more advice about a good process to be better prepared for the updates that Microsoft is pushing.

We had problems in the past with customization that didnt work good after the update.

Your answers would help me a lot! Thanks all

    Although the BC update is automatic, you can actually set the date and time. There is a good amount of time before Microsoft forces the update.

    Plan to update your sandbox first and test there. If everything is okay, you can then schedule to update the production.

    First thing you should do is sign up for updates and then once you get the email plan your update date and as Teddy said you can create a sandbox generally available prior to availability for the production environment...
