Exclude Preview & Out-of-band

[MG-Cloudflow]

Hey

i'm using your module for over a year now and since last week the exclude preview and out-of-band parameters are not working anymore. they return Unknown for both parameters

I have the issues on local pc and in azure runbooks both have latest version of your module.

Azure Runbook PS 7.2 Local PS7.4.3

example simple code `PS C:\Users\MaximeGuillemin> Get-LatestOSBuild -OSName Win10 -OSVersion 22H2 -LatestReleases 2

How i use it in my script to build a full catalog ` $OsNames = @("Win10", "Win11") # Operating system names to process (default is Win10 if not stated) $osversion = "*" # OS version (mandatory parameter, e.g., 22H2) $latestreleases = "1" # Nfinumber of latest releases to consider (default is 2)

Retrieve the latest OS builds from the update catalog for each specified OS

$WindowUpdateCatalog = $OsNames | ForEach-Object { $os = $ $osbuilds = Get-LatestOSBuild -OSName $os -OSversion $osversion -LatestReleases $latestreleases $osbuilds | ForEach-Object { $osVersions = $.Version.Substring(8, 4) $osVersions | ForEach-Object { $osbuild = Get-LatestOSBuild -OSName $os -OSversion $ -LatestReleases 1 -ExcludePreview $osbuild | ForEach-Object { [PSCustomObject]@{ os = $os Version = $.Version qualityUpdateVersion = "10.0."+$_.Build Availabilitydate = $.'Availability date' Preview = $.'Preview' 'Out-of-band' = $.'Out-of-band' Servicingoption = $.'Servicing option' KBarticle = $.'KB article' KBURL = $.'KB URL' CatalogURL = $.'Catalog URL' } } } } }

Hey i did some more digging apparently after a few request you get blocked form support.microsoft.com and that just the place you get your information for that info.

kind regards maxime

I noticed the same a couple of weeks ago. We were running this on a couple of workstations a couple of times a day but moved to run it manually (presumably once a month) ...exporting that to a json file and serving that json file to the workstations to do their monitoring. Hope this helps.

Hey Carlos

i only run in it in azure runbook once a day and i'm hitting the limit.

[CarlosAmericano]

I think its akamai that is being clever in catching scrappers based on some logic ? Last time I ran it from my workstation, I was able to get the output that i needed to create the json file, might not be able to run it next patch tuesday :)

They have a graph api now with some information but it does not even include the full build number

[AshleyHow]

Yes it looks like MS/Akamai have tightened things up for web scraping. This is an issue I'm aware of, the good news is that I have a potential fix to reduce the amount of requests which should help prevent this happening left often. Hoping to release the new module today/tomorrow.

Hey Ashley

for the preview part i found a way to do it this way when there is no data returning from Akamai

if($_.preview -eq "Unknown"){ $Releasetype = (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $_.'Catalog URL' -UseBasicParsing -MaximumRedirection 0 -ErrorAction Stop).content if($test -match "Security Updates"){ $_.preview = "False" }else{ $_.preview = "True" } Rough draft of the code BTW ;-)

[AshleyHow]

Module update released, please can you update, re-test and feedback?

If this does not help I will look into the suggested code as an option.

[MG-Cloudflow]

Great seems to be working ;-) i'll build in some extra safety's on my end also. works a lot faster also.
