    Hi Ankush Gupta

    No, you cannot rename an existing maintenance configuration in Azure Update Manager directly. If you need a different name, the recommended approach is to:

    1. Create a new maintenance configuration with the desired name.
    2. Reassign resources from the old configuration to the new one.
    3. Delete the old configuration if it's no longer needed.

    Please let me know if you face any challenge here, I can help you to resolve this issue further

    Hi,

    This is not possible. The name of the maintenance configuration is the name of the resource itself. The names of resources cannot be renamed. Best is to create new configuration with the same settings and new name. If you are using dynamic scoping you will just have to remove the scopes and delete the old maintenance configuration. If it is regular maintenance configuration will require re-assigning the new configuration on the resources and after that deleting the old maintenance configuration.
