Hope to see you there!All Windows Server OS(Mostly 2019) DP's not upgrading to 2207
FYI... This issue is happening again since last week and this time it is not just server DP's but Windows 10 DP's also. It is not a result of MECM server upgrade maybe Feb patches got installed on the primary server but very few DP's are fine. Last friday i upgraded CM from 2203 to 2207 version. I saw no error after the upgrade. I have a bunch of Win 10 computers as DP's and those DP's got upgraded to new version(5.00.9088.1000) but all the Windows Server OS DP's failed to upgrade. FYI... Site server is an admin on all the DP's and nothing has changed. Here is a screenshot of distmgr.log error. vcredist_x64.exe is already installed on all the server DP's last year probably with 223 upgrade. I do not see any errors in the firewall or antivirus software. Not sure what could be the issue.UPGRADE_EXPERIENCE_INDICATORS in Resource Explorer
We are seeing that the Config Manager hardware inventory contains the UPGRADE_EXPERIENCE_INDICATORS section which shows data that appears to be about upgrade compatibility to specific builds (with CO21H2 being Windows 11 21H2, for example). Could someone please share what the attributes named Upg Ex Prop and Upg Ex U and the color values they have actually mean? We've seen Red, Orange, Yellow, and Green, but it doesn't appear to be documented anywhere what the attributes or values represent. We would like to use these values for collection membership and Windows 11 Upgrade task sequence deployment, but want to fully understand what they represent. Note: We have compared these to what is shown in Endpoint Analytics for Windows 11 readiness status. While green has matched Capable and red has matched Not Capable, we're seeing a mix of Capable and Unknown for both yellow and orange. Thank you.Query real-time client data with Configuration Manager Technical Preview 1805
We are excited to let you know that update 1805 for the Technical Preview Branch of System Center Configuration Manager has been released. Technical Preview Branch releases give you an opportunity to try out new Configuration Manager features in a test environment before they are made generally available. Have you ever wanted to take real-time action to quickly respond to an event or discover a wide variety of information about your devices and hunt for anomalies? CMPivot is a new in-console utility that provides access to such real-time state of devices in your environment. It has the ability to immediately run a wide variety of queries on all currently connected devices in the target collection and return the results. You are then able to act upon those results. For example, in the scenario of mitigating speculative execution side channel vulnerabilities, one of the requirements is to update the system BIOS for your devices. You can use CMPivot to quickly query on system BIOS information and find clients that are not in compliance. You can then switch to Run Scripts to quickly remediate them with a scripted solution. Read about it in the Enterprise Mobility + Security blog.New feedback system for Configuration Manager docs
Starting today, the Configuration Manager doc library is using a new feedback system. The feedback section of all articles is now integrated with GitHub Issues. For more information about this change, see the docs platform blog post. Read about it in the Enterprise Mobility + Security blog.
Desktop Analytics - “Office 365 ProPlus”
We implemented Desktop Analytics in our environment. I'm missing the Option “Office 365 ProPlus” in the portal. The Video Keep your modern desktop current with Desktop Analytics shows at 21:57 an Option “Office 365 ProPlus” We do not see this option in our environment. Did we miss some configuration.
