What's going on guys it is Bernardo from the BTNHD and yes let's upgrade our SCCM together
to 2006 super easy upgrade guide today, so let's get right into it.
Alright, so there's a lot of SCCM 2006 new features that are being released.
Most likely this upgrade is not going to show up so you kind of need to force it which I'm
going to show you guys how to force it and get it inside your environment so you can
start testing it out.
Now there's a couple of things that I do enjoy with the new features I especially like the
Microsoft 365 apps for the enterprise.
And I've definitely want to check out the improvements to the task sequence via CMG,
and they also improved BitLocker task sequence steps so there's a couple other things that
I like, they got notifications from Microsoft which I've definitely wants to check out,
improvements to managing device restart.
Okay, they also got notifications for Azure AD app secret key expiration and improved
support for Windows virtual desktop Wow, I definitely need to check that out.
Alright, so first thing that we need to do is open up your favorite browser and go to
this website now the reason that we're going to this website is because when you hit enter
it is automatically going to download the Enable early update ring for 2006 dot exe
file.
Because I'm using Internet Explorer, it wants me to save it or run it.
I'm going to click on the nice little arrow and then click on Save As, and I'm going to
drop it inside the Downloads folder and click on Save.
Awesome.
Once that's done, because I'm doing it within a virtual environment, I logged into one of
my ESXi servers.
And before you do anything, virtual machine or a physical machine back up your machine
right before you push out this upgrade.
So, on my virtual machine my SCCM virtual machine I right clicked on it, I went to snapshots,
I took a snapshot gave it a name gave it a description click on take snapshot, and I
was good to go.
I went inside my virtual machine.
I downloaded the EXE file as you guys can see within my downloads folder.
I'm going to right click on it, run it as an administrator, it's going to extract all
the files inside the Downloads folder so I clicked on ok extraction completed.
Okay, good to go.
That EXE file all it does is extract a PowerShell script that we need to run.
So I'm going to right click on that PowerShell script and go to edit, and it's going to open
up the Windows PowerShell ISC.
Once it loads up.
I like to open it up, and the reason why is just to make sure everything is kosher inside
that PowerShell script take a quick look at the PowerShell script, if you don't understand
anything or you feel kind of like weird about it, don't run it.
If you feel comfortable with the PowerShell script just run it when you run it, it's going
to ask for your site server so enter your full qualified domain name of your SCCM server
hit enter and bam.
Once all that's completed you are going to open up your SCCM console go inside administration
within administration go inside updates and servicing, and it takes some time you are
going to see the Configuration Manager 2006 is available to download.
So, when you right click on it, you're going to click on download, you get a nice little
information dialog box stating that still checking for updates.
Press, okay, let it be it's going to start downloading and eventually once the downloading
is completed is going to state, ready to install once that says that you are able to right
click on it and you have two options.
Now, if you have seen some of my SCCM videos I like to just go straight into install update
pack the reason why is because when you do that, it's going to automatically check the
prerequisites anyway.
So just go for it.
So I clicked on it, you get the nice little wizard, again if you have seen my videos,
I like to check ignore.
I didn't do it on this video so I just clicked on next.
These are the features that are included with this particular update pack.
I left everything as the default Click on Next.
I click next here.
Accept the license and terms and then click on Next.
Nice little summary click on next green checkmark is always a good thing and then close it.
Now once you close it underneath the state column is going to state installing which
is a good thing.
And then eventually it's going to change to checking prerequisites, which I like I said
before it's always going to check it right and what you could do is select it, and once
you select it at the very bottom on the right hand side click on show status, and it's going
to take you here.
And you're going to right click on that guy show status and it gives you a nice little
bird's eye view of what's going on.
So, so far, it's downloaded, the replication is done I'm still waiting for it to finish
the check, and I'm also waiting for the installation and the post installation right so close all
that stuff.
Eventually the state is going to change to installing and, you know, grab a cup of coffee
go get lunch when you come back eventually your SCCM console is going to state, a new
version of the console is available blah blah blah, as you click on install the console
version.
Everything closes down.
And I always get this.
So basically the feature update task requires that you close the configuration manager,
if you closed it you closed it yourself so why are you giving me this problem now the
way that I fix this problem is basically opening up Task Manager locating the Microsoft configuration
management, and just ending the task, and eventually is going to start downloading the
files just got to make sure you click retry for it to start downloading the files.
Once it downloads the files, it's going to start prepping to install, then it's going
to start gathering all the required information.
Once everything is done, your SCCM console is automatically going to launch up with no
problem now to check that you're upgraded, you can click on the File menu on the upper
left side, and then just go about Configuration Manager and you're going to see that you're
running version 2006, and the console version was upgraded to 5.2 thousand six point, 1026
point 1900.
And that's it.
