Hey guys welcome back this is Bernardo from the BTNHD and today is all about upgrading
our smart deploy to version 2.0.3080.
So let's get right into it, okay so deploying smart deploy super simple and the first thing
that we need to do with any upgrade that we do make sure if you're running it with a virtual
machine or a physical machine back it up, or take a snapshot or take a checkpoint.
Because I'm running my smart deploy within Hyper-V manager.
I'm going to right click on it and then go into checkpoint to create a checkpoint, in
case something happens, I am able to go back in time into a nice stable environment.
Once that's completed, make sure underneath the checkpoint section it says, you know,
you have a checkpoint to go back that's always a good thing, within my smart deploy
server when inside control panel, Programs and Features and I want to show you guys that
I'm running, 3070, and we need to upgrade it to 3080.
From my understanding it looks like 3080 supports Windows 10 2004, and that is something that
I want to deploy within my environment.
Now before we continue it looks like I also have Windows ADK version 18362.
This version does not support Windows 10 2004, so I'm crossing my fingers that smart deploy
will actually see it, and upgrade for us within the MDT and SCCM world when you're deploying
a new version for those Deployment Services, they don't upgrade your ADK automatically
for you so you have to do it manually so I'm crossing my fingers that smart deploy is smart
enough to do that for us.
So first name we need to do is login to our smart deploy.com account and you got a big
button that says download.
You can click on the release notes to get more information on what's new with this
version, so I'm going to click on Download Now,
it's gonna start downloading it's around 1.3 gigs, once it's completed, I am going to click
on the nice little arrow show in folder.
I'm going to right click on that exe file and then run it as administrator is going
to start preparing the installation.
Once the installation is prepared you're going to get this, I'm going to click next here.
Accept the license terms Click Next, install, it's gonna start validating the install, and
you're done, click on finish, and it's going to automatically start your smart deploy console
which is awesome.
Now let's go back inside the control panel.
And as you can see smart deploy was upgraded to 2.0.380.
Awesome.
But our windows ADK was not updated.
Ah, why.
So what we need to do is we have to manually upgrade, so go inside your favorite website.
I will provide this link at the bottom of the comment section, and just download your
windows ADK and your Windows PE, once you download the files that you need that will
support Windows 10 version 2004.
Go back inside the control panel Programs and Features, and you have to manually remove
everything.
So I'm going to select the windows ADK.
I'm going to click on uninstall.
I'm going to hit yes here uninstalling the features and you're done and then click on
close and do the same thing with the Windows PE, click on uninstall hit, yes, it's going
to start on installing all the features and you're done click Close.
From here you can open up your downloads folder or wherever you drop those ADK files, and
I'm going to right click on the ADK setup file first click next here, pick your poison
and accept the licensing terms, install, boom, done, do the same thing with the Windows PE
double click on it, it's going to launch up click next here.
Pick your answer click Next.
Accept the licensing terms, you only have one feature click install, it's gonna start
installing all the features and you're done close it, bam, when you go back inside Programs
and Features you're going to see that your windows ADK and your Windows PE was upgraded
to 19041, which supports Windows 10 version 2004, that's a good thing.
Now the only thing I like about smart deploy, is that it will automatically upgrade the
clients for you.
That is awesome.
Right now I'm logged into BTNHD SD one, this machine actually has the smart deploy client.
When I went inside Programs and Features to look at the client, it automatically was updated
so that is a good thing I like that, that once you upgrade your smart deploy server,
it will automatically go out to your computers within your infrastructure that has the smart
deploy client, and will upgrade the client for you automatically.
It'd be awesome if windows ADK was automatically updated for you during the upgrade of the
server right, that's it guys hopefully you guys enjoy this video make sure to hit that
