Hotfixes rarely if ever do anything to the DB so this is completely moot. J

Unlike the upgrade to 1602 where I was able to go into the EasySetupPayload folder and use setup.exe with /testdbupgrade against a copy of the database, the contents for the hotfix in the EasySetupPayload dir have no setup.exe. I'm assuming I'll just have to skip that part and the best I can do is run a manual prereq check through the console before installation - just confirming.

That's why you have to use a test copy of the DB; it's a complete upgrade to validate that it doesn't run into any issues. To run testdbupgrade for upgrades to non-bassline builds of ConfigMgr CB (like 1602), you can copy the files from EasySetupPayload to the SQL Server hosting the copy of the DB and run setup from these files. You can't use these files to setup a new site (not in a supported fashion and not without a lot of risk of things breaking in the future) but using them to simply test the upgrade of the DB is perfectly supported and fine.

I don't see an option or anything to do it in the new upgrade method. I use the upgrade in the console, not sure if there is another way or not. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kolumbus Sent: Friday, May 20, 2016 1:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] 1511 to 16xx TestDBUpgrade Hi Are there any detailed info about setup.exe /testdbupgrade? I know in generally what that option does. I have done it several times. But I can't found any detailed info about it. And what's your opinion.Do we need to run that every time we upgrade using that new console upgrade (1511->1602 for example...)?
