Let us learn about Changes in SCCM Client Support for Windows 10 1803 Configuration Manager. Microsoft released the Windows 10 1803 version, which includes some changes in the SCCM client, ADK support model, and Windows 10 1803 version release.
Microsoft also updated the SCCM Client Support for Windows 10 1803 statement. This is a quick post to cover SCCM client support for the Windows 10 1803 version and Windows 10 ADK support for the SCCM CB environment.
Have you upgraded your SCCM CB to the latest version of CB 1802? If not, Microsoft won’t officially support Windows 10 1803 SCCM clients in your environment. This doesn’t mean that previous versions of the SCCM client won’t work with Windows 10 1803.
I quickly tested the SCCM 1710 client on the Windows 10 1803 machine, which worked. However, I tested all the features of SCCM. So, there is no hard block on the SCCM client installation and functionality.

Windows 10 ADK Support with SCCM CB Infra Versions
Microsoft released the newest version of ADK for Windows 10 1803 version. Windows 10 1803 ADK is NOT supported with the SCCM 1710 version. So, Microsoft doesn’t recommend you install Windows 10 1803 ADK when your SCCM CB version is 1710 or below.
You can have 1803, 1709, or 1703 (backward compatibility) Windows 10 ADK versions for 1802 version SCCM CB infra.
The following table lists the versions of the Windows 10 ADK that you can use with different versions of SCCM. Microsoft has already updated the support statement documentation to reflect the following changes.
| Windows 10 ADK version | SCCM 1706 | SCCM 1710 | SCCM 1802 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1703 | | | |
| 1709 | | | |
| 1803 | | | |

Hi – Based on above info, I should remove older version of ADK and install ADK 1803 within my lab infra running CB1802 – right?
Thanks

Windows 10 ADK 1703, 1709, and 1803 are supported for SCCM 1802. But I would recommend to install 1803 as best practice.
How does one handle multiple version of Windows? There does not seem to be an easy answer here. Currently we deploy Windows 7 and Windows 10 1703 in our environment. When I upgraded from SCCM 1702 to SCCM 1710, I moved us from ADK 1607 to ADK 1709. While I am aware we should be matching the ADK to the version of Windows 10 we deploy, most environments dont just have a single version. Not only do we still have some SCCM Windows 7 build requirements, but I also need to support Windows 10 LTSB 2016 (which is actually Windows 1607) as well as support newer versions of Windows 10 like 1709 and 1803 for testing. Based off of Microsofts logic I should only be using 1703, as thats the main version of Widows we deploy. Next week I will be upgrading SCCM to 1802. Do I keep the ADK level at 1709?
Same question as below in my mind. Can ADK 1803 support Windows 7 SP1 OSD?
