Now that sounds like whining to me ;-) Happy new year! ☺ Great reply Kim, think that was the most detailed one I have found so far on how this in place upgrade in ConfigMgr is supposed to work/not.

Yes, please do report. I was one of those unlucky souls and did forward the logs that were requested. (I was aked to zip up the entire Panther folder) I already provided my feedback as to where I believe the process from within SCCM for upgrades is flawed, but will happily do so again. At a certain point in the tasksequence we hand things over to the Windows setup process. If anything goes wrong there, as is the case right now, the tasksequence doesn’t come back into play. Specifically for upgrades, that is troublesome, as those will most likely happen “in the field”. And there is no way to know whether the “process” succeeded, meaning applications were retained or not. Windows setup, afaik, reports success when the OS upgrade succeeded, I haven’t received any feedback that it could guarantee all apps were successfully retained as well. If there’s no way to validate that other than logging into the system and check, than you’ll need a proven track record of well over 95% before I at least buy into that. Barring that, Windows setup either needs to report that some applications were not retained, or needs a rollback process that rolls back to the previous OS, including all the apps on that previous OS. I do believe upgrades are the future given Microsoft’s increased release cycle. However, given the lack of control Microsoft has over it’s eco-system, I’d be blown away if they’d pull this off in a single release. And it’ll probably take at least 2 releases to just convince the non-believers.

A majority did move to x64 with Windows 7. So they will have an in-place upgrade option. For those trying out the in-place upgrade with Windows 10 Preview builds, be sure you submit feedback on any issues you encounter so that we can continue to improve the process. If you just complain about it and don’t do anything, well, I’d call that whining ☺ Thanks, -Michael From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2014 1:52 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] RE: [ConfigMgrMVPs] Blogpost: Is Intune going to re place Configuration Manager? You can’t “in-place” an OS architecture switch. Since most Win7 installs are x86, that means many orgs will have to bare-metal just to switch to x64 Win10.

People tend to forget that Windows 10 is actually still beta and not even close to being finished. From: Marable, Mike<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 29, 2014 3:47 PM To: SMS<mailto:[email protected]> “Windows 10 will change OS and software deployment…” I’m sorry but I’d have to beg to differ. So far I have had little luck with using the in-place upgrade that Microsoft is pushing in the real world. To be honest I’m finding it just as problematic as it was in prior versions of Windows. We may be “old school” on this but when the time comes to migrate from Windows 7 to Windows 10, as it stands right now we’re going to do it the same way we went from XP to Windows 7; using wipe and load task sequences run from SCCM. I would love for all of this to just work and for us to be able to use it. But in healthcare change happens very slowly. Everything has to have a proven track record before we will let patient safety rely on it.

Or… just roll out the pieces Kim believes are missing. Intune is a full Azure service now which means any new feature can be rolled out anytime and can take advantage of Azure power. Windows 10 will change OS and software deployment, btw, so take those off the list.

Hi All, I’ve expressed these views a couple of times already to colleague mvp’s and people interested in hearing my opinion. It tends to be fragmented in talks though, so I decided to put my thoughts into writing, and dedicate a blog post to it.
