Question: The documentation for SCCM lists SQL 2012 SP2. Is there an issue for SQL 2012 SP3 as that is now
available?
Answ er: In general, w hen SQL ships a new version and service pack, ConfigMgr generally needs to go through a

Question: We have been w orking w ith Cliff Hughes on discussing our upgrade from 2012 R2 SP1 to current branch.
He stated that other Microsoft Premier Field Engineers are reporting certain IIS components are missing or disabled
after the upgrade and they had to reinstall BITS and re-enable Window s Process Activation. He is recommending that
w e consider migration instead of in place upgrade. Opinion?

10:24:22 PDT
Question: w hy no re-release of adk 1511 ?
Answ er: Window s Product Group Decision
10:26:12 PDT
Question: So for side-by-side, as long as the site code is same (old to new ) then the server name doesn't matter?
Answ er: Side by Side Migration of Configuration Manager using the same Site code? - Never do this!
10:27:10 PDT
Question: do w e need different w inpe for each version of w indow s (Win10 and w indow s 7 etc.) or w indow s 10 w inpe

10:28:06 PDT
Question: do you w ant to mention that PXE w ill NOT w ork unless you configure DHCP or the helper address on your
routers
Answ er: Using DHCP Scope options is not supported. If your DHCP Server and WDS (PXE enabled DP) are in the
same subnet - nothing to do. If DHCP is in a Remote location ensure you have configured IP Helpers to be forw arded
to your DHCP and PXE enabled DP.
10:28:54 PDT
Question: on 2012R2 is only said "w indow s 10 ADK", so is every version ok (1507 and 1511)?
Answ er: I w ill generally use the 1511. Unless there is a lot of customization that has been done on your old images,
there isn't really a reason w hy not to use 1511 adk
10:29:08 PDT
Question: After upgrading to SP1 w e experienced failures in existing Task Sequence.Using .\ for command lines

10:33:34 PDT
Question: is new w indow s 10 w inpe contained a big driver database?
Answ er: It does seem to have a lot of drivers, how ever, it is not as complete as the FULL-SIZED Window s, because
you don't need many of the drivers for peripheral devices
10:33:42 PDT
Question: is there a w ay to select the PXE-distributed boot image? previous versions just choose the last deployed
Task Sequence's boot image...

multicast
10:36:11 PDT
Question: unattended setup still supported ? to me it seems this is broken w ith sccm 1511, but I still need to confirm
this - you guys didn't hear anything about it ?
Answ er: Can you please clarify w hat you exactly mean? You can use unattend.xml files in every version of
Configuration Manager. I think you are talking about Setup based deployments w hich, if I recall correctly got removed
w ith SP2 of ConfigMgr 2012 (R2SP1). This is no longer possible.
10:36:25 PDT
Question: is there any w orkaround for adding configs to older boot images?
Answ er: If you need to do this, you need to install that version of the ADK on a system and manipulate your boot
images there

bug or my mistake w hen I update also I missing this option put driv er to old boot image w hich w as create in ADK 8.1
Answ er: This is per design. We can only service boot images w hich match the installed ADK. ADK 8.1 can only

Question: I inherited my current SCCM configuration. We have 6 virtual server w ith 4 distribution sites. We have
roughly 100,000 users and 60,000 devices. I see in the demo that Aaron and Wally only have one server for
everything. With the size of my environment, do I need those extra server or should I slim it dow n w hen I upgrade?
Answ er: Interesting question. In general, as hardw are capabilities evolve, w e can support more managed devices
w ith a smaller number of sites than the previous generations. In general, how ever, you w ill w ant to keep large
package content close to users. No getting around this.. so, some remote distribution points seems reasonable.
10:48:01 PDT
Question: can w e use the free w indow s 10 to upgrade the w indow s 7 pro installed using the select media and
activate it
Answ er: you really should discuss this w ith a licensing specialist as they can answ er w hat you can and cannot do
based on your EA
10:48:30 PDT
Question: anyone using offline servicing of images reliably? so far I have not used this feature and been updating
the images periodically manually
Answ er: It is definitely useful as a best practice. Keep in mind, it w ill only update the CBS-based updates
(components-based servicing), w hich means things like Office and other line-of-business apps might not be available
to service offline w hether they are installed in your WIM or not.
10:49:57 PDT
Question: does offline servicing remove superseeded or expired updates or do they stay in the image?
Answ er: They w ill stay in the image
10:50:21 PDT
Question: or if you are upgrading from bios to UEFI
Answ er: That's a highly complex topic... check w ith your hardw are vendors to determine if they have command-line
tools to use in order to disable legacy BIOS mode in favor of EUFI

Question: @don: I've an question about it too, w e have the tools to do that, but it is only affected after rebooting. so
w hen needing to restart to w inpe, it configures itself to legacy mode, but after restart it is in fact uefi and can't get
booted into again
Answ er: I understand. It's because WinPE is detecting the capabilities of the hardw are interface (BIOS or EUFI). So,
you w ill either do it w ith a different task sequence first, or possibly add another "Restart Computer" task sequence
step
10:54:39 PDT
Question: am I w riting publicly ?
Answ er: yes
10:56:23 PDT
Question: I have the same licensing issue at one of my clients - they have 100+ OEM Window s 7 Pro that qualify for
Window s 10 Pro upgrade, but I don't know w hich deployment tools can be used in this non domain environment.
Answ er: Maybe try to use MDT 2013, and WICD from the ADK to create a provisioning package to do an "Edition
Upgrade" to Enterprise
10:56:47 PDT
Question: heh thx I use non-OSD Task sequences almost on a w eekly basis
Answ er: Yep, it's the w orst-kept secret in all of ConfigMgr. Only, now it's supported
10:57:55 PDT
Question: bare metal, so no other ts to go through before it
Answ er: Right... so, maybe try the extra restart computer step. The product group is evaluating methods to unlock
the capabilities for BIOS-->EUFI, and it w ill be 1606 at the earliest before w e have something to w ork w ith
10:58:20 PDT
Question: ok... are w e in any w ay integrating MDT w ith this or not?
Answ er: MDT Integration has been slow ly been incorporated into ConfigMgr. Same PG ow ns both MDT and CM so
you w ill see similar items across the products now .
10:58:34 PDT
Question: Has the apply softw are updates step been fixed in the task sequence so it w orks correctly? There seems
to be a lot of public posts regarding w orkarounds to this not functioning properly
Answ er: Are you talking about high CPU issues? Multiple reboots w hich caused to break OSD in older releases?
Can you please specify?
10:59:21 PDT
Question: I thought someone told best practice for Window s 10 Installation is first to install Drivers from Window s
Update and only install Drivers not recognized afterw ards?
Answ er: The answ er is... it depends. Many organizations do not allow unauthenticated acces s out to the Internet. So,
not possible to go out to WU/MU for drivers in the task sequence (w here there is no "user" logged on)
11:00:13 PDT
Question: w ill the version of the current branch sccm client in the task sequence w ill match the one of the
infrastructure automatically? or is there a need to change the step in the TS?
Answ er: If you use the build in client agent package it w ill alw ays match. You can no use as w ell the piloting version
option. This w ould kick in if you recently upgraded to 1602 and did not select to upgrade all clients to 1602 yet.

Q&A Log
Question: do the clients w ill upgrade automatically w hen I upgrade to 1511 or special steps are needed
Answ er: you need to enable auto upgrade on your site
11:03:13 PDT
Question: does that UEFI partition change apply to 1507/1511 on CM12
Answ er: UEFI partitioning is applicable to the OS being deployed and hardw are has to support UEFI as w ell.
11:13:31 PDT
Question: if the pc has bot versions of BIOS (UEFI and BIOS) w hich one w ill be used automatically
Answ er: Most hardw are vendors have their systems pre-configured to use UEFi as it is much faster than BIOS. You
can only have either or. So Configuration Manager w ill detect w hich option is enabled at the moment.
11:15:00 PDT
Question: Trying to figure out the UEFI stuff as w ell - got an image to w ork on a couple devices using a USB drive to
boot, but I don't see an option to PXE boot w hile using UEFI - is there a good link you can recommend w ith a
beginning to end view ? TechNet hasn't been very helpful here.
Answ er: IF you have DHCP Scope Options in place this might be your problem. UEFI PXE Boot requires a different
Netw ork Bootstrap Program (NBP) file than Bios (w hich is WDSNBP.COM)
11:15:32 PDT
Question: If you upgrade a 2012R2 stand alone Primary to 1511 do you still have the ability to expand the hierarchy
by adding a CAS? or should I add the CAS before upgrading?
Answ er: nothing has changed here you can still attach.
11:16:36 PDT
Question: Will there be future certification exams for ConfigMgr?
Answ er: I w ould think so. As it stands now , ConfigMgr is being thought of as part of the story. 70-398 is the best of
the exams, in my opinion, for keeping ahead of it.
11:16:57 PDT
Question: If my current system is set for BIOS, is there somew here I can change that th UEFI during a task
sequence for Win 10 in-place upgrade?
Answ er: yes you can change from Legacy to UEFI bios w ithin a Task sequence using OEM provided tools to
manipulate the bios settings.
11:18:08 PDT
Question: Like Dell Command?
Answ er: Correct or the dell cctk or HP BCU etc.
11:18:20 PDT
Question: The upgrade TS feature is cool! I upgraded a consumer Surface 4 from Win 10 Pro to Enterprise in less
than an hour. Very smooth and I didn't need to re-image, install drivers, etc.
Answ er: You might be able to also save some time doing the "edition upgrade" w ith a provisioning package. Also, in
1602, there is a section under "Assets and Compliance | Overview | Compliance Settings | Window s 10 edition
upgrade" that is designed to do that as w ell.

Question: Being an Educational Institution w e qualify for the Education Version of Window s 10. We have been told
that the Education version is essentially synonymous w ith the Enterprise Edition. Is this true and is it possible to do
an "Edition Upgrade" from 7 Pro to 10 Education?
Answ er: You w ill w ant to upgrade to Win10 first, and then use a policy created at "Assets and Compliance |

Question: i question for SCCM (1511) ISO dow nload: is there a difference betw een VLC and MSDN iso or is this the

Question: Will need to set the same conditional check on the Post Install apps step otherw ise the upgrade w ill get
skipped and the apps w ill still install.
Answ er: I w ould presume so, or make the post install group a child of the upgrade group
11:30:02 PDT
Question: Is there any Documentation about how to make WU/MU Access possible over Juniper or other Firew alls Our security specialist told that it is very hard to detain all the IP's used for WU/MU its not about that w e don't trust
Microsoft but it seems very diff icult to set the needed Firew all rules that it w orks?
Answ er: The issue is that the IPs may change w ithout notice, so the actual URLs are w hat you w ill w ant to have in
your rules. There are no specific guides for one hardw are vendor or another, as far as I know .
11:32:11 PDT
Question: I have a question and like to confirm about importing computers using CSV file. Can you please confirm
that you can import computer w ith any of these combination: computername + GUID Computername + MacAdd
Computername+ GUID + MacAdd. Reason asking because some of our new systems dont have onboard NICs. We
use dongle etc. Can you please also let me know w hich editions support this. for example 2007, 2012, 2012R2 and
1511, etc

ve/2015/08/27/re_2d00_use-the-same-nic-for-multiple-pxe-initiated-deploy ments.aspx
11:34:46 PDT
Question: Hi, how about Window s 10 images w hen there is language pack installed. Does the in-place upgrade keep
language pack or is it set back to default language?
Answ er: This is a very tricky scenario. From my experience the current UI language active requires a Window s 10
Setup media matching this Language. Otherw ise the upgrade is not possible. Language Packs w ill not automatically
be updated, as they are not part of the localized setup media. So you w ill end up if UILanguage is German w ith a
native German Client
11:36:03 PDT
Question: If you upgrade a 2012R2 stand alone Primary to 1511 do you still have the ability to expand the hierarchy
by adding a CAS? or should I add the CAS before upgrading?
Answ er: I w ould w ait until after the update to 1511 before doing the hierarchy expansion. The reason is that there
may be some improvements in that area w ith the new er binaries.

Answ er: They should run the new build, how ever, in order to offer WSUS 4.0 to Window s 10 devices for the FULL
servicing capabilities, the OS hosting your site server roles should be Window s Server 2012 or higher
11:45:04 PDT

installs on D: Any idea w hy?
Answ er: Try using a variable "SMSTSPreserveDriveLetter" set to "false" (I think that's it...) prior to your Apply
Operating System step
11:49:43 PDT
Question: Hello fresh install of w in10 uefi on a W7 legacy needs apparently to run diskpart before running the task
sequence. Is there a w ay to format and convert to GPT into the TS. For the moment I run Diskpart (F8) from the first
boot from USB Key before lauching the TS
Answ er: Are you using a native SCCM Task Sequence or a MDT based TS? Per design Format and Partition Disk
should do all that is needed. There is no w ay to convert to GPT it requires a repartitioning (clean of the disk).
11:50:56 PDT
Question: how w e could have a deeper monitoring of OSD, build it deployment reports do not provide detail overview
Answ er: If the reports "in the can" do not meet your needs, I suggest making a uservoice item at
https://configurationmanager.uservoice.com/forums/300492- ideas and see if you can get it voted up. I can tell you
that the product group is looking at these, and w orking on the top ones.
11:51:24 PDT
Question: I do have that... Without it, the bare metal installs on D:. How ever, w ith it, the "refresh" installs on D: !?!?!
Answ er: maybe this helps http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2014/04/28/how -to-ensure-thatw indow s-installs-on-c-during-a-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-osd-task-sequence.aspx
