How can I forcefully upgrade Windows 7 or Windows 10 to the latest version of Windows 10 using System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch)?

[anyweb]

ok just tested it in my lab with a user that is a standard user, and it starts the powershell wrapper no problem at all.

so something else must be different in your environment, double check your settings pls

i suspect this is why it's failing for you

 

verify this tab on your package

 

[Christian Silvert]

Yes, it is a strange behaviour!

The Copy Content in this package... was already checked. 

The difference I see between a working client and a non-working is this: 

Working (the standard user has Full Control to the folder for some reason): 

 

Non-working (no standard user permissions): 

Have you tested the permission difference for the ccmcache folder in your lab?  Notice that the package is pre-downloaded to the cache with a prestage TS. Maybe that can cause problems?

Thanks!

hi Christian,

i'm not using any prestage TS, so yes that might be part of your problem.

my user also doesn't have access to the ccmcache but as i said, it's working just fine for me

 

[Christian Silvert]

Ok thank you. I will try without a prestage and see if it solves the problem.

Thanks for the scripts and screen shorts. thanks again for lot of time you took creating them.
I have tried the scripts but i am hitting a brick wall, please help. how can i confirm this using the script or what can i do to pass thru this stumbling block? see attached.

N.B. this confirmation window pops up when upgrading manually.

if there is a script to eliminate this problem, it will be greatly appreciated!

Regards

you can adjust the Upgrade Operating System step there's a switch you can add to ignore these types of warnings, have you tried setting this step

well it could be that your error is a hard block, did you check the appcompat logs to see if it was listed as a hard block ? you can't ignore hard blocks..

[Muvig]

thanks, well decided to go manual, tried what i know to no avail.
