I'm just wrapping a Windows 10 project for a client and it went surprisingly well. I installed SCCM 1511 with MDT 2013 u2. The only issue I had was needing to roll back to The RTM Windows 10 ADK due to a known WinPE bug. I deployed a very large task sequence with over two dozen applications and also used the UDI wizard in MDT for other optional settings. The client had lots of hardware including the surface pro 4 and surface book and things went very smoothly. I used a MDT task sequence and customized it as needed. -Joe

Id like to get started with building a Windows 10 deployment and I am having trouble figuring out the best course of action. I am currently deploying windows7 x64, Windows 7 x86, and Windows xp x86. I am willing to drop support for XP deployment if I have to, but I still need to maintain SCCM client support for it. I am using SCCM R2 with cu4 and MDT 2013 integrated. The last time I investigated everyone was complaining about lots of things being broken --- Powershell not working, DaRT being broken, ADK not installing components like MDAC in WinPE correctly, and driver packages exploding in size so I just decided to sit on the sidelines and let things settle down. Then Microsoft announced that Skylake based systems will lose Windows 7 support in July 2017 so that got my attention. I need to get moving on Windows 10. So what is the current thinking? Upgrade SCCM to 1511 and MDT 2013 u2? Upgrade SCCM to 2012r2 sp1 and MDT 2013u1 and hold on to older Win10 ADK? Hold out for a few more weeks for more bugs to get stomped? Not sure what to do... I rely heavily on the MDT database to drive ZTI task sequences. DaRT, MBAM bit locker is important to me and I have several POSH based takes steps that need to work. I don't care about MDT standalone, but I do use the DB and the monitoring service- I just don't build any machines or images out of there. I don't want to update to SCCM 1511 to find that that sticks me with a WinPE 10 version where other things I need are broken. Also I'd like to maintain client support for XP so I'd rather not take a version of SCCM that can't manage XP unless I absolutely have to. Not sure where my next step should be, and I want to know what is going to break and what is not going to work before I go there. It seems like there are a lot of people complaining about all kinds of things not working correctly with regards to Windows 10 releases especially around the ADK and I can't figure out what problems are fixed and what problems are real and what problems still exist. Microsoft is not exactly forthcoming on what is not working so I have to rely on technet forums and the like and that is not always accurate advice...
