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

Where exactly can I change the Defer time?

[anyweb]

are you referring to the 4 hour countdown that occurs after you run out of deferrals ? or something else

[keywan]

No , I want to know how I can defer the time for 1 day or more

[anyweb]

there are two main options:

 

• change the deployment schedule, when you deploy it you create a schedule, by default in my blog post it runs every day at 11am, you can change that to run every 2 days or whatever schedule you want, does that help ?
• the other place is a timer is in the upgrade.hta, in that if the user ignores the popup (clever users...) then it will auto-timeout after 8 hours or so, and reduce the deferals by one, here's the section of code to edit, it's in milliseconds so 8 hours...

 ' is the user ignoring the HTA ? if so, let's exit 99 and remove one deferral after <scheduled time>
       ' Note: this value must be LESS than the schedule of your deployment
       ' Note: this value must be MORE than the HTA countdown (pbwaitTime)
        iTimerID = window.setInterval("UserIgnoringHTA", 28800000)

Hi Niall, 

I´m working on adding the new version of your great tool and noticed a reg value that looks out of Place.

In the upgrade.hta, line 352 "//var key = "HKCU\\Software\\windowsnoob\\UpgradeComputer";"

Shouldn´t this line also be something like " + CompanyName + "?

 

Kind regards

Thanks..

if you open the HTA using Notepad ++ and change the Language used to VBScript (VBS) or HTML in Notepad ++ you'll see it format the HTA nicely and it'll make more sense.

Hello,

First of all, congratulations for your great work !

I'm trying to edit the HTA to disable checkbox / onedrive, but I can not ... Is there a simple way to do it?

(Sorry if this is a dumb question)

[anyweb]

thanks !

you need to cut out this bit

and then modify this function to ensure that Upgrade Now button is not disabled

 

function disable_enable(){
    if (document.getElementById("Checkbox1").checked == true)
      //alert('checked');
      document.getElementsByName("run_vbscript_button").item(0).disabled = false;
    else
    //alert('not checked');
    document.getElementsByName("run_vbscript_button").item(0).disabled = true;

 

cheers
