What's going on, guys? It is Bernardo and today is all about upgrading to windows
11 22H2 using SCCM, so let's get right into it. All right. So today's video is
all about upgrading to Windows 11 22H2 using Configuration Manager.
Now I have a Windows 11 machine already within my infrastructure,
but it's running an old build and I want to upgrade it to the latest build. So
this is the machine that I'm going to hit. And the first thing that we need
to do within our configuration manager is we need to go inside administration.
Within administration, we are going to go to overview, go to site configuration, click on
sites and select your site. Now from here, we're going to right click on our site. We're going to
pick configure site components and then we are going to pick software update points on here.
We're going to go inside classifications and make sure you have upgrades checked off.
The next thing that we need to do is go to products and then go all
the way to the bottom and locate Windows 11. Make sure you have that checked off.
And the reason that you need those two things,
because you want Windows 11 upgrade packages to be synched within your scheme. At the time
that I was actually doing this Windows 11 upgrade packages, wasn't fully sync to my
configuration manager and I wasn't able to see build 22H2 within my configuration manager.
But don't freak out because it's the same approach. All right? It's the same thing.
Once you make those modifications, click okay, here. We're going to go into client
settings. And within client settings we are going to pick the default client settings.
So we're going to right click on that, go to properties on your left hand side
we're going to go into software updates on your right hand side. We're going to go all
the way to the bottom until we see these two following settings that we need to configure.
The first one is specified thread for feature updates by default is configured
to not configured. So we are going to click on the dropdown menu and then pick on normal.
Now the last setting that we need to configure is enable dynamic updates for future updates.
Click on the dropdown menu and then click on Yes and then click okay. Now within your
configuration manager, we're going to go inside software overview. We're going to
open up your Windows servicing and then click on all Windows feature updates.
Now within this section, again, go to the search bar type in 22H2 and hit
on the search button and it should populate the build for 22H2. Again,
my configuration manager was acting up at this time, it did not sync
all the Windows 11 upgrade stuff, but it's the same process. I was able to locate upgrade
to Windows 11 Edition, but this is the same process and once you locate your 22H2 build,
you're going to select it and we're going to right click on it.
The first thing that we need to do is select review license and just
accept the license and terms and then click, okay.
Once you do that, locate your build that you want to deploy and right click on that and we
are going to click on download within the download software updates wizard.
We are going to create a new deployment package, we're going to give it a name and then you're
going to give it a UNC path. This is what I gave it. And then we're going to click on next,
we're going to click on ADD, we're going to pick DP, we're going to select our DP and
we're going to click on okay. We're going to click next here for our distribution
settings. I left everything as is. I click next here for download. I just
make sure download software updates from the internet was selected by default.
It is so click next here for update languages for the product. I left everything as the default.
Click next a nice little summary click next and then you're going to get a progress bar. If you
want to check the status of this, just go inside the UNC path and make sure you get a folder.
Most likely you get a folder with a gibberish name. If you double click on it, you're going to
see an EXE file and this is it. Now this EXE file is between around 1.5 to 2 gigs. It's pretty big,
so it will take some time for it to download locally to your configuration manager server.
Once that's done, you're going to get this green checkmarks is always a good
thing when you're dealing with configuration manager. That's how I feel. And then click
on close. Now once you do that, we're going to locate our feature update,
we're going to select it, we're going to right click on it and we're going to pick on
deploy. Once you pick on deploy, you're going to give you a deployment name. It's up to you,
whatever you want. This is what I gave it. I'm going to click on
Browse to select a collection. I'm going to pick my selection, which is Windows 11,
because, again, I'm upgrading my Windows 11 machines to a new build.
That's what I want to do within Configuration Manager, once you pick your collection,
we're going to click okay. We're going to click next here for the deployment settings.
I left everything as the default click next for scheduling. I just made sure within the
installation deadline I pick as soon as possible and then I click next for the
user experience underneath the deadline behavior. I just checked off these two options software
updates, installation and a system restart if necessary. And then I click on next for alerts.
I didn't do anything default next here for the download settings within the download option,
I made sure that I selected download software updates from the DP and install and
I also made sure that I picked it. The software updates are now available on
your DP. It's able to go and download it locally on the Microsoft Update server. So
I click next here you're going to get a nice little summary click next green checkmarks,
always a good thing and then you're able to close it.
Now you're able to go inside your deployment packages and you should
see your new deployment package. Just make sure. On the right hand side where it says
distribution point status it's green, it's successful. It's a good thing. Awesome.
The next thing that you could do is go inside the monitor tab deployments and
then locate your deployment, double click on your deployment. And within the deployment
status you're going to see hopefully it should show up that your computers are compliant for
me that vwindows 11 machine is compliant and eventually it's going to get the deployment
the upgrade for it to push out and it will upgrade using SCCM, so how awesome
is that? So hopefully you guys enjoy and I catch you guys on the next one peace out.
