You're either very brave, or very stupid. Either way, good luck! :p

 

I can't bare the thought of supporting multiple OS's throughout our site, the year we went xp to 7 i planned it all out in detail and did the whole site in one go without exception. Everyone with the same OS, same version of office etc. Though i guess it depends on how much you have to support too, is your site quite small?

 

That's why I'm still half tempted - windows touch screen devices have arrived and are to be deployed in September, so I have to introduce win 8.1 to my network which currently has win 7 only on it. If I went straight to windows 10, I could stick with a single version of windows across site. Also I don't have EES, so I want to update within the first year anyway.

The Windows ADK for Windows 10 is now available at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/dn913721.aspx. (Scroll to the bottom of the page to the section, "Customize, assess, and deploy Windows on your hardware." The page also includes other Windows kits; remember for deployment you only need the Windows ADK for Windows 10.)

 

The MDT product team is working hard to finalize MDT 2013 Update 1, and currently plan on releasing it in August. We know how excited and eager you are to start using MDT for Windows 10 deployments so are doing what we can to signoff this release as quickly as possible.

 

Note that System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager SP1 currently supports both deployment of Windows 10 using a Windows 10 boot image, as well as the in-place upgrade scenario.

Does anyone know if you need to upgrade SCCM 2012 R2 to SP1 to deploy SCEP to windows 10 clients?

 

AFAIK SP1 adds full support for Win10, so it's recommended you upgrade.

Has anyone added the ADK10 boot images to SCCM yet?

 

I have but they have no option to add drivers so not sure if they work correctly yet

Hi DrCheese

 

Windows 10 is in its infant stages and with all things new, there would be problems. Following are my suggestions.

 

a. Wait for a year before rolling it out.

b. Have you checked whether roaming policies/profiles works seamlessly ?

c. Does it work well with a domain Environment i.e Windows Server 2008R2 and Windows Server 2012R2?

d. Did you come across any wireless issues when roaming with Windows 10

e. Which version of Windows 10 are you rolling out Windows 10 for Education, Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Enterprise

f. Check compatibility of all the school owned applications either 32bit or 64 bit and legacy ones

g. Edge Browser and/or Internet explorer on a domain environment. Whether policies gets reflected or not?

h. Does login scripts, Desktops icons works well after you join in a domain environment

I. Drivers both on the Wireless card, Motherboard

j. Printer drives compatibility including any policies that you have set

k. Group policy to deploy applications, does this work?

l. Whether Laptop close lid action would sleep the computer or cause a BSOD issue

m. Windows 10 comes with a forced updates. Have you plan to put a windows update server to stop windows 10 updates simply installing on all your machines without you first testing it.

n. Windows 10 activation mechanics i.e whether KMS or MAK using Volume license key and if the computers have the qualifying license to upgrade to a new version

o. Windows BIOS marker i.e activation would fail if there is no qualified OS but you have to manually activate Windows 10

p. Office 2013/2016 32/64bit. I would advise 32bit

q. Orientation to staff/Students about this new move

r. Does your security i.e Antivirus have no issues. Did you look at the event viewer for possible issues

s. Windows 10 firewall, whether to enable it or not

t. Ghosting or other posts said, SCCM etc...

 

 

Hope the above helps.

 

Cheers

 

Joseph

I'm also half tempted to upgrade all (desktop) machines capable which I'm estimating to be between 150 and 200 machines

I don't think training will be to much trouble as I find its fairly similar to windows XP (don't tell me I know we need to upgrade these) and windows 7

another reason is we don't have EES so I will need to upgrade within the year anyway

I have tested all the software we currently use on an upgraded windows 10 machine and so far I have not had any issues (still have to try to see if the drivers are ok on the 3 other models)

I will think I will take the long weekend to make a decision and then start the imaging early next week

Has anyone seen the all-important MDT 2013 Update 1 yet?

 

I already have the AIK for Windows 10 and the 32-bit and 64-bit W10 Pro ISO images, I'm just missing the final piece for MDT in order to start testing automated deployment.

Thanks... your link is actually blocked, seems to be re-directing to an ad website?

 

That's extremely odd. It doesn't work for me if I click it either. If I paste it back into the URL, it works though!

 

A google search for Windows 10 ADK brings it up though for me as the first link.

I'll be honest... I'm confused. All I want to do is create an answer file for sysprep which will give me default profile changes, like a chrome shortcut on the taskbar and certain programs on the start menu.

 

Which bit do I install? Also do I install it on the machine I'll be capturing the image from? Sorry... friday afternoon and I'm braindead!

@ZeroHour every time I click on links from the forum, like the one above, even though when I hover over them they are legit links it sends me to another website. The one above is tradedoubler.com and it's blocked by lightspeed. Is this an issue on the forum or with me?

Well when I click on AIK for Windows 10 this is the program it downloads from MS. F*****g MS.

Copy-and-paste this link into your browser to download the Windows 10 ADK installer.

Thanks @Arthur.... funny that the 8.1 and the 10 files have identical names and are the same program apart from the 8.1 and the 10 after the Windows on the title bar.
