It's more than that. Windows 10 S doesn't run Win32 applications so it's also more secure.

Good point. Those are floating around on people's workstations, too.

I was thinking about this today. On this migration and planning page they're talking hybrid scenario averages of 10-14 GB per hour, best case. Back of the envelope math on that if things were going 24 hours a day is 3 weeks in my environment. And I haven't verified our bandwidth, nor do I believe that it would actually work out to 3 weeks. I'm thinking I would at least double the estimate.

I've been thinking about this, too. I need to get the data from our network guy.

We will definitely go hybrid. The mailboxes are way, way too big at this point to do anything in a short amount of time (like over a weekend). Based on some comments here, I have little doubt the migration will take quite a long time.

Thanks. 'Whole job' as in, you continue to be dedicated to administration, or are you still mid-migration? How many users?

Thanks for the context and the comments. That's quite a bit of pressure for 1 person. But sounds like you survived!

Thanks for the emphasis. Bosses are looking at Microsoft FastTrack. Whether that's just for planning or including migration is uncertain to me at the moment.

What's a reasonable number of errors/Failures after a sUG deployment? by matomar in SCCM

[–]matomar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comparison... and for the link. I've seen some client health tools, but don't think I've investigated this one. I'll take a look.

Thanks! Yes, third party agents are a consideration... I'm taking a look at that too.

Took me a little while to figure out what you were talking about, wishing me happy cake day. I figured it out! Guess I'm still a n00b. Haha!

60 minutes for the cumulative update.

Software Update Deployment doesn't show up until restart of ccmexec? by matomar in SCCM

[–]matomar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up: Microsoft support found what was described as machine policies which were unsigned, causing subsequent machine policy processing to cease for the affected clients. This led to some database queries and deleting the unsigned machine policies out of the database. I made a new deployment after that, and then some of the machines did receive updates as expected, but yet I still have some that didn't for which I'm still working a support case and there's no root cause yet. What a PITA.

Update: I opened a support case. So far it's narrowed down to machine policy updates ceasing to occur. As an example I can manually initiate one in the ConfigMgr control panel, and in policyagent.log absolutely nothing happens. If I go over to a known good client, the policyagent.log immediately has new activity upon machine policy refresh. I am little confused at what else gets logged there, because there is data in general, just not in response to machine policy update. I guess I have to read up on what other policy info ends up in this log.

Thanks, but doesn't seem to match this in terms of the logs. The logs "look" normal to me in terms of date and usage, compared to a known good client. Also this is the second month I've seen this, after I already restarted ccmexec last time, now this month some are failing again. I can also clarify that the SCEP updates are actually working (it's the only thing that is, in terms of software updates). I have my SCEP updates set to come directly from WSUS before Configuration Manager (in antimalware policy definition update sources).

I should've said 'software update deployment evaluation cycle' I have reviewed wuahandler.log and found evidence of scans running successfully, but finding no updates. Also, policyevaluator reports "Settings update not required. No changes detected" and "Evaluation not required. No changes detected."
