Apply OS update on OS deployment time or later

Hello

Because I'm still stuck with an old version of SCCM (System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager SP1, 5.0.8239.1000), the most recent Windows 10 version I can deploy is 1909.

I guess that limitation is relative to OSD only.. after that you can apply all needed updates from that old SCCM, right?

So, I wonder what is the best way to update newly installed clients.. at OS Deployment time or later?

I already downloaded 2021-01 Cumulative Update (KB4598298)

And how should I deploy it with SCCM? I'll very much appreciate some guidance. :-)

Thank you.
Roberto

You seriously need to look at upgrading your site to the current branch due to various reasons and one of the thing is OSD support.

For the patch deployment, you can create a batch file with command line switch something like below.

wusa.exe KBNumber.msu /quiet /norestart

Hi.

I know.. it's a work in progress and almost done. I only need to migrate by hands collections and packets and enable pxe, multicast. I did try to migrate using the advised procedure but that gave me errors, and so I have to migrate manually. I'll do it as soon as possible, but that will probably be this summer.

Regarding your suggestion, thank you. But what about OSD or later? And batch should be executed in a packet (not application)? In the OSD task sequence?

Best regards.

I deployed the CU as suggested by @EswarKoneti-MVP
Also interesting the tools proposed by @GaryBlok
Thank you.

Anyways.. I am sure SCCM offers better deployment ways than a package in the OSD.. I need to search a tutorial on that.

Thank you and best regards.

Hello.

So, what's the best practice to deploy cumulative update with SCCM? At OSD time or later? Considered that I'm still stuck with 1909 I believe that OSD time would be a good idea.

In order to try that, I made a new package which includes the msu and in the program the command line suggested by @EswarKoneti-MVP. I distributed the package to the distribution point and then added the package to the task sequence.

Any hints or suggestions?

Thank you and best regards.

You should always be deploying updated media when you deploy your systems.
I'd recommend using 1 of 2 items

  1. OSDBuilder: https://docs.recastsoftware.com/ConfigMgr-Docs/Community-Tools/Community-Tools-OSD-Builder.html

  2. WIMWitch: https://docs.recastsoftware.com/ConfigMgr-Docs/Community-Tools/Community-Tools-WIMWitch.html

But within a month, you'll have to send it patches, so either way, you'll always have to send CU's to your devices.

Now if you can't do it with CM, you could leverage Windows Update for Business, or just regular Windows Update, and have your machines go right out to the internet to pull down updates.

Good to know! :-)
I don't understand if the tools you suggest are free.
