Overview of this book

This practical cookbook is based on the 1602 current branch of System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). It shows you how to administer SCCM, giving you an essential toolbox of techniques to solve real-world scenarios. Packed with over 60 task-based and instantly usable recipes, you’ll discover how design a SCCM Infrastructure, and dive into topics such as the recommended SQL configuration for SCCM and how to deploy Windows 10 with Operating System Deployment (OSD). You will learn to easily manage Windows 10 devices by deploying applications, software updates, and feature upgrades, andl be able to leverage Mobile Device Management (MDM) using SCCM and Microsoft Intune. Finally, you see how to gather the inventory of all your PC park and create reports based on it. By the end of the book, you will have learned the best practices when working with SCCM and have a handy reference guide for troubleshooting.

Upgrading client agents


Similar to the latest Windows 10, Configuration Manager also gets frequent updates. These updates (or build) usually include a CM client update. This was the same back in CM12  when a new Cumulative Update (CU) was released, a new CM client version was also included. CM12 introduced a new feature called Automatic Client Upgrade to automatically upgrade all the CM clients to the latest version. Even though it was a great feature, many people considered that feature risky because it would deploy to all CM clients a new agent version without being really tested and where deploying the new agent manually like an application deployment.

To fill this gap, CM Current Branch introduced an improvement to the Automatic Client Upgrade by being able to deploy the new client version to a pre-production collection. Then if that pre-production deployment was successful, the administrator can decide to promote the client upgrade deployment to all the remaining production clients.
