hey guys welcome back this is Bernardo from the BTNHD and today is all about upgrading
at SCCM to 1906 most likely you might not have the package available so you
might have to push it to yourself so you can start playing around with it right
like our early upgrade it looks like Microsoft is getting really strict with
the requirements to get 1906 you got to make sure that you're running at least
1903 Server 2012 plus and for the database got to make sure it's running
2008 r2 plus okay so on my desktop I'm going to right click on the Start menu
click on run type in winver and then hit OK I'm running Server 2016 for my
environment and I believe for my database I'm running 2014 so I should be
good to go now what we need to do is download the early
build for 1906 this is a PowerShell that'll allow you to get the package
early within your configuration manager so this is the link and I will provide
the link for you guys at the description or at the comment section so don't freak
out but once you copy and paste it into your favorite browser hit enter and it
should start downloading because I'm using an internet explorer within my
server I need to click on the little arrow and I'm gonna go save as and I'm
gonna drop it inside my desktop and then click Save
and I'm gonna close that browser up so now we have that enable early upgrade
ring for 1906 for our SCCM so once you have your file you locate it
most likely you dropped inside your downloads folder find it right click on
it run it as an administrator and from here it's gonna drop it inside the
desktop as a file it's a PowerShell that's it click OK and click OK again
and you're done our show is right there so I'm going to
basically click on start and I'm going to locate Windows PowerShell ISE I'm
going to right click on it go to more and I'm gonna run it as an administrator
but I'm going to open up this particular enabled early
upgrade ring 1906 powershell script within the PowerShell ISE console and
I'm just gonna run it all right I believe it's f5 to run it and it's gonna
want you to enter your site server now I use the full qualified domain name of my
SCCM server hit enter and if everything goes well you should get the command
completed successfully great if you have any issues you've got to make sure
you're running it as an administrator now open up your SCCM console and you
want to go inside administration overview updates and servicing and you
should see the configuration manager 1906 package underneath the state
column it should say available to download now for me I was like I want to
download it I want to download it so I right clicked on it I clicked on
download and it was like Oh checking for updates you can click refresh to update
the console behind the scenes it was still updating itself or downloading
itself so it takes some time you are able to refresh the console and
eventually the state column is going to say ready to install now from here I'm
going to right-click on it and click on install update pack now you could do run
prerequisites check but when you do the install update pack
it's gonna do it for you regardless so I pick the first option install the update
pack you get the nice little wizard I did not check ignore all right I left it
as is click their next these are all the new features that this particular
update is going to provide for your SCCM console a lot of cool things I need to
actually take some time to see what they're going to do and probably do
future videos for you guys I don't know click Next here I'm definitely gonna do
up upgrade without validating click Next accept the license and terms click Next
again a nice little summary and then click Next
it's going to start doing its magic and if everything goes well you should get
the green checkmark awesome and close the wizard and then underneath the state
column it should start saying installing if you want you can go at the lower
right hand side where it says related objects and click on show status and
it's going to take you here you're gonna right-click
and show the status and you should see a nice little bird's-eye view of what's
happening behind the scenes with the latest package which is SCCM 1906
alright and then eventually your state will change to installing to checking
prerequisites and then again it's going to change again to installing and
if everything works well if you walk away like I typically like constantly
click on refresh until I get a dialog box but when I came back from lunch I
got this nice little kind of tab kind of thing at the top it says a new version
of the console is available blah blah blah blah
click on the install the new console version so that's what I did I clicked
on it your entire SCCM console will close or do not freak out eventually
something's gonna pop up but for me this always happens for me I actually have to
right-click on the taskbar click on task manager locate the Microsoft
configuration manager select it right click on it and end the tasks and then I
do a retry when I do the retry then it's gonna start downloading the files that's
a good sign and then this process took a while I started preparing the install I
started removing the old application to install the new one and eventually if
everything works well your SCCM console load up right now the way
that you could check if everything was upgraded is on the upper left side like
the little menu little submenu click on it and go to about configuration manager
and you should see version 1906 with the console version and a site version cool
another way you could check is go back inside administration overview updates
and servicing and you see that the new update did a little cleanup and you will
only see your configuration manager 1906 and underneath the state column is going
to say install how awesome is that so hopefully you guys enjoyed this video I
will leave all the links that you need such as the PowerShell script and for
those individuals that did not upgrade the ADK make sure you upgrade your ADK
I think the latest right now that Microsoft has is ADK 1903
eventually they're going to be pushing out 1906 so make sure you got
that stuff upgraded behind the scenes hope you guys enjoyed this video leave
comments right below don't forget about hitting that like button and I catch you
guys on the next one peace out
