How can I use the Upgrade Task Sequence in System Center Configuration Manager (current branch) ?

[Kugell]

I was getting "The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it. Specify a valid path."  when I was attempting to add the image from \\CM01\Sources\OSD\OS\OSUpgradePackages\Windows10x64\1809.

The reason why I was getting the error is because the image file was install.esd. Apparently, the process requires a wim file, not a esd file. I used the following to convert the esd to wim. https://theitbros.com/convert-windows-esd-file-to-windows-wim-file/

After ensuring that the wim file was in the \\CM01\Sources\OSD\OS\OSUpgradePackages\Windows10x64\1809, the Add Operating System Upgrade Package Wizard completed.

I need some help with this please. Cannot get the drivers to install with the WMI query.

If I remove the query it goes through. My TS is deployed to Windows 7 test machine, upgrading to Windows 10 1809.

your query is incorrect

SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Model LIKE “HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF PC”

try replacing it with this instead

SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Model LIKE "HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF PC"

also, are you sure that the computer model is indeed HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF PC ?

Full WMI code for these is definitely "HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF PC"

However I think you might have other problems with this model further down the line. They are ancient!

At my org, for HP devices, we query the baseboard value instead of the model.  This was suggested by HP and has worked well.

Hello,

thanks for the post.

I could not see the backup folder. I mean I scheduled updates and something broke. I checked everywhere on my primary site but i am not able to find it.

Please guide me.

is your post related to using an Upgrade Task Sequence in ConfigMgr or something else ? if it's something else then please raise a new topic.

thanks for the reply.

I followed the guide form the link below, i created rhe upgrade package and TS. I deployed it on my test machine and it completed the upgrade and do some post tasks and then machine stuck in restart loop. it pops up dell logo and restart again.

Thanks

ok well if it's restarting over and over it's probably missing drivers, did you apply any driver package for that model during the IPU task sequence ?

[dj3094]

No i have not applied any drivers
