I have successfully upgraded ISCS-MDT to 2013 Update 2 (6.3.8330). Please be aware that this is what’s considered a quality release; there are no new major features.

Work completed:
– VMWare snapshot created for ISCS-MDT.
– MDT 2013 Update 2 applied.
– MDT build and production shares upgraded.
– MDT build and production boot images updated.
– Updated boot images applied to Windows Deployment Services.

Release notes and Information:

Things you may need to complete:
– For folks who log in to ISCS-MDT directly you may need to recreate/re-pin shortcuts to the MDT Workbench.

Additional notes:

The Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10 was recently updated by Microsoft. This version is cited to have issues which could impact some MDT deployment scenarios. I will be doing more testing before moving forward with this update.

New Windows Images with Office 2016

Leave a comment

New Windows images are currently live for Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 LTSB. One change I made is I went ahead and replaced Office 2013 with 2016.

If you still haven’t tried out Office 2016, it’s available in the SCCM Software Center for all CN technicians here (open in IE):

https://osu-cm-iis01.oregonstate.edu/CMApplicationCatalog

You can also install it with the following command:

\\software.oregonstate.edu\software\Microsoft Office Suites\Office 2016\Office 2016 – Extracted\setup.exe /adminfile “CS – Office 2016 – Silent Install – x86.MSP”

End-user documentation is available from Microsoft here:

Windows Update Fix

Leave a comment

Microsoft just released patch KB3092627 to resolve issues that were caused by previous patch KB3076895.

From Microsoft:

  • If security update 3076895 is installed on a Windows 7-based or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer, install update 3092627.
  • If update 3090303 is installed, customers already have the fix for the issue. Therefore, they don’t have to install update 3092627. Update 3092627 is a broader GDR release of the fix in update 3090303.
I am monitoring WSUS and will have folks follow up on any failed installs.
