What's going on guys it is Bernardo and today is all about upgrading your SCCM to version 2103
So let's get right into it. Alright, so within my SCCM test lab I am actually running Configuration
Manager 2010 that is one of the core requirements to actually upgrade to 2103. Now you're going to
open up your Favorite Browser. Unfortunately within this server I have Internet Explorer,
and you're going to type this URL and hit enter. Once you do that, it is going to start
downloading the Enable early update ring 2103 dot exe file. Now I'm going to click on the drop down
menu for Save. Click on Save As, and I'm going to save it onto the desktop. Once that's done,
I'm going to click on Open Folder, it's going to open it up, and there goes our exe file.
Now I'm going to right click on that exe file and run it as an administrator, it's going to
drop whatever is inside that exe file on to the desktop so let's click on OK. And then extraction
was completed, click OK again. So what was inside that exe file was basically a PowerShell script so
I'm going to open up my Windows PowerShell ISE as an administrator and open up that
PowerShell file. Now I recommend looking at the coding to make sure everything is safe,
you know, and once you're done and you are ready to run it, just click on run. And once it runs,
it wants you to enter your site server. Now, I like to enter my full qualified domain name
of my server my SCCM server once you enter it, hit enter, and if everything goes well you should get
the command completed successfully. Now, I have experienced problems running the script sometimes,
and for me to fix it was to just reboot the SCCM server, make sure all the services are running
behind the scenes and then run the PowerShell script again into your fully qualified domain,
and then hit enter and it should work out with no problem. Once that's done we are going to open up
our console up again go to Administration go to updates and servicing and you're going to see the
Configuration Manager 2103 downloading which is a good thing. There have been some issues,
installing this particular update within SCCM. So, to get around those warnings you
need to do the following, we're going to go inside administration site configuration and site. We are
going to highlight our site right click on it and then go to properties and within properties we are
going to go inside communication security. Now for this to work for it to get green checkmarks with
no warnings got to make sure you're running HTTPS or HTTP. And also make sure that you enable use
Configuration Manager, generate a certificates for the HTTP site system. So that's what I did,
I checked it applied. If by any chance you had HTTPS only and you switched it to HTTPS or HTTP.
And you want to check the logs of what's happening behind the scenes. If you go inside your log
folder and locate the MPcontrol dot log file, open that up, make sure everything is good there for me
it was successful, did not have any issues but if you have any issues look them up, fix the issues
before you continue. You could also go inside administration, security and certificates and
make sure you have a valid SMS issuing certificate inside this particular section of your SCCM so
back inside, administration, updates and servicing you're going to see your manager 2103 is ready to
install. So we are actually going to right click on it and then click on install, update pack.
I left everything as the default. Click on Next. This is where you are able to enable or disable
any features that this particular update is going to push out, this is really up to you once you're
done click on next. I left everything as the default as upgrade without validating click next
here, accept the license terms then click Next. Next again you got a green checkmark, which is a
good thing and then close it, or you're going to notice within the state column it is going to say
installing eventually is going to check for the requirements. If you'd like me you want to see
what's going on, I advise you to select it, and on the lower right hand side click on Show status,
it's going to take you here, right click on that and click on Show status, it's going to give you
a nice overview of what's going on. Now this process for me took forever. It literally took
more than 24 hours. When I log back into my SCCM server I got the nice little banner stating that
the console had a new update available so I clicked on install the new console version,
everything closes Do not freak out, you're going to get this nice little dialog box stating that
it is downloading files, eventually you're going to get this that it is installing it. And then if
everything works well it should load up the SCCM console for you now once it's up and running,
you want to check that you have the latest version on the upper left side, click on the menu and then
click on About Configuration Manager and you're going to see that you are running version 2103
You're also able to go inside, administration, updates and servicing, and you're going to see
that the Configuration Manager 2103 update is installed, and whatever previous hotfix or updates
you had on this particular window is going to get cleaned up which is a good thing, and that's it
guys hopefully you guys enjoyed this video and I'll catch you guys on the next one. Peace out.
