gshaw Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 One of the first things I noticed - Files on Demand only works with 1709, but isn't included with 1709. Who at Microsoft made that decision!? Talk about an oversight! As far as I can tell, onedrive.live.com still includes the 2016 version. Other observations - - Show People button (why do we need this?) - Why do I need Cortana to install Windows? - .NET 4.7 included as standard, as is the October patch. IE reads 11.0.47. - Control Panel is still there in all its glory! - Not amazed by Paint 3D, much prefer Paint.NET Indeed, bit of a balls up including the sync-based client rather than the Files on Demand version. Imagine something went awry internally and the OneDrive team didn't get the finished client done in time to ship in the 1709 WIM? There's a delay after login before the client appears as well so it seems to provision itself per user. I left the updated TS installing when I went home so will try a fresh login tomorrow on the machine I had the updated client installed by MDT and see if it works cleanly now via the GPO settings. Also need to go back on myself and double check about having Personal OneDrive disabled. Pretty sure I did it somewhere but it's not in the OneDrive ADMX template settings... calling @Arthur who may know on the off-chance Edit: there is an org ID policy which I've configured to our O365 tenant so perhaps that disables sync to Personal OneDrive at the same time? Boot and login seem a tad faster than 1703 too, so far so good...

Last I checked those were all an extra subscription, but he mentioned premium feature. Does that me some of it is included with my current EES / SCCM license and some is extra? EDIT: the articles I found all asked me to sign up for a free trial. Anyone have a rough cost? Edited October 17, 2017 by ADMaster
Arthur Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Last I checked those were all an extra subscription All extra unfortunately. but he mentioned premium feature. Device Health? That's included with Operations Management Suite (which is a separate subscription too). Not sure about edu pricing, but it is bound to be expensive.
DJ-1701 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Posted October 17, 2017 I see one thing I am not too keen on... the changes they made to the Touch Keyboard... it can only be 1)LOL BIG or 2)Very condensed.

It's just paying for what we already had and for on-prem office-based desktops it's overkill. They say to take a Win10 device out of box and just provision it but we do our own work removing the (cr)apps that come preinstalled to get a nice clean image as OEM ones are often bogged down from new. Mixing some of that cloud management in for mobile devices perhaps is a plan but not as a complete replacement. Of course MS would like everyone on full Azure AD, EMS etc. as it's a per device / per user premium for something that you get as standard right now. Edited October 17, 2017 by gshaw

Exactly, a bit of cloud dashboard would be nice, or build it into SCCM. Speaking of SCCM how does all this new defender stuff fit with it. I'm a GSuite school so don't plan on doing any of the cloud MS stuff anytime soon. Azure AD / ATP etc would be nice, but I can't justify the cost. Moving to SCCM cost wise was cheap compared to other AV solutions at the time, but now I have to have multiple subscriptions if I want to fully utilize it. Every release of Windows is pushing more cloud and less on premise.

Every release of Windows is pushing more cloud and less on premise. Seems to be the general trend. Kicking and screaming I think education will get more cloudy. Also 1:1 devices may see traditional IT Suites diminish. If you use Windows 10 S as your OS you don't really need any antivirus other than defender. The fun part is Google file stream/one drive on demand sync/legacy win32 apps. Maybe this will just be remote apps.
KibosJ Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Anyone one have a link for the new ADMX templates?
DJ-1701 Posted October 18, 2017 Author Posted October 18, 2017 Group Policy Settings Reference for Windows and Windows Server (Direct Link) FYI, even though the first page states: This spreadsheet lists the policy settings for computer and user configurations that are included in the Administrative template files (.admx and .adml) delivered with Windows 10, version 1703. it does appear to have the 1709 policies.
newpersn Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 FYI, even though the first page states: it does appear to have the 1709 policies. Thats for the spreadsheet? I think he was looking for the ADMX files.
KibosJ Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Thats for the spreadsheet? I think he was looking for the ADMX files. I was, is it still safe to copy the admx files from the WIM to the central store?
DJ-1701 Posted October 18, 2017 Author Posted October 18, 2017 Thats for the spreadsheet? I think he was looking for the ADMX files. I wasn't responding to him, I was just letting others know about the spreadsheet. ADMX files we are all waiting on at the moment, I think MS forgot about them.
alfatec Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Is the Feature upgrade to 1709 available in WSUS yet? Not showing in mine.

gshaw Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Just booted up my test machine from yesterday, despite upgrading the client during the MDT Task Sequence it still deploys the old 2016 version to the first user who logs in... epic fail @Arthur does the Windows Server 1709 have the HTML6 RDS client included that was posted about the other day?
Norphy Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Unlikely, Windows Server is Core only. When I last looked, core didn't have any RDP components, gateway included. However, I'm going to spin it up on a VM and confirm this for sure.
Arthur Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 does the Windows Server 1709 have the HTML5 RDS client included that was posted about the other day? I might be wrong, but I got the impression that the HTML5 client will be in a future update to WS1709?
Norphy Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 This is the list of RDP related features listed on 1709: 1
Simcfc73 Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 I know its to be expected but, its lost all my start menu layout Rest of the school is on LTSB so not that bothered.
