When preparing to deploy a Windows 10 Feature Upgrade, we would like to make sure the end state is fully patched.
We are using a task sequence to deploy feature upgrades and have found that including a software upgrade step greatly extends the time required to upgrade a system. For this reason we have attempted to integrate or apply updates to the feature upgrade media offline. This appears from the outside to work correctly, but when performing a feature upgrade using this updated media, the client still requires the updates that were applied off line. In searching for a reason that these supposedly offline integrated updates must be reapplied, we think this is occurring because of features that are not on by default in the Windows 10 installation (specifically in our case .NET 3.5. - but we feel other componentents could cause the same issue. We have found that is it possible to use DISM manually to apply the same offline patches to the base feature upgrade source and that works, however doing effectively the same by offline servicing the feature upgrade image in the ConfigMgr console does not have the same result. When a client is upgraded with the manually updated feature upgrade source, this results in a fully patched system. When a client is upgraded using a ConfigMgr console offline serviced feature upgrade the end result is a client that is missing many or all of the updates that were applied to the feature upgrade using the offline servicing method. It would be preferable to have the console initiated offline servicing update process working as it is quite tedious to update the feature upgrade media several times per month to keep it up to date with released patches. I would much rather be able to automate this process by servicing the imported feature upgrade media via the COnfigMgr console. ________________________________ Notice: This UI Health Care e-mail (including attachments) is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2521 and is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
