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

ok can you grab the app*.xml files and setup*.log stored in the $windows.~bt\Sources\Panther location after the windows upgrade failure, zip them up and attach them here i'll take a look.

Thank you for the great work on this great tool.. 

 

Couple of question for you.. Is there a way to check that a hardwire is connected (network) and if not, exit the script.. along the same line I am not quite sure what information to place into the VPN section so that I can properly detect if the user is using VPN and then show the message you already have.  Are we looking to enter the gateway/subnetmask/

Thanks.

thanks!

yes you could check for the ip range that your network cables use (as opposed to wireless), and detect based on that,

all networks are different so you'll have to customize it somehow to suit your environment

Thanks for the reply.. I ended up using pieces from you as well as another script I found.. Bottom line I am testing for VPN connection and Wi-Fi.. In case this might help someone else in the future - 

 

# check for Wifi/Wireless connection

$WifiCheck = Get-wmiobject -class win32_networkadapter -namespace root\CIMV2 | where-object {$_.Name -match "Wifi" -or $_.Name -match "wireless" -and $_.name -notmatch "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" -and $_.netenabled -eq $true}
$WifiCheck = [bool]$WifiCheck

if ($WifiCheck -eq 'True')
    {LogWrite "An Active Wireless Connection was detected, aborting with Exit code 99"
    $text="An Active Wireless Connection was detected. The Windows 10 Required Upgrade cannot continue while connected to A Wireless Network.  Please disconnect from Wi-Fi and retry the upgrade from Software Center the next time you are in the office. `n`nPress OK to exit the upgrade."
    ShowMessage ($text)
    ExitWithCode "99"}
else
    {LogWrite "Wireless Connection not detected, continuing..."}

# check for Cisco AnyConnect VPN

$NICS = Get-WmiObject -Query "Select Name,NetEnabled from Win32_NetworkAdapter where (Name like '%AnyConnect%') and NetEnabled='True'"
$NICS = [bool]$NICS

if ($NICS -eq 'True')
    {LogWrite "Cisco AnyConnect VPN was detected, aborting with Exit code 99"
    $text="Cisco AnyConnect VPN detected. The Windows 10 Required Upgrade cannot continue while connected to $CompanyName via Cisco AnyConnect VPN, please retry the upgrade from Software Center the next time you are in the office. `n`nPress OK to exit the upgrade."
    ShowMessage ($text)
    ExitWithCode "99"}
else
    {LogWrite "Cisco AnyConnect VPN not detected, continuing..."}

Hi, this is nice script, easy to apply in any organization. But I have question. Is there any chance to change .hta display language?

Edit: Doesn't matter, got it.

hi Marantz, I'm glad you figured it out and that you find it useful, please explain to others what you did so that they will know (if they need to)

Hi,

I used this script in other companies and was working fine but now I'm facing a problem using powershell in constrained language mode (and I cannot change it to full), several steps are crashing due that.

any thoughts?
