SCCM Online Service Connection Point Details – 2 Options

Microsoft released a new version of the SCCM Current Branch version, SCCM CB 1610. If you are running SCCM CB 1511 or 1602 or 1606, you can directly upgrade to SCCM CB 1610. More details about SCCM ConfigMgr CB Updates in Console and Upgrade in this post and video.

SCCM Upgrade Process

The ConfigMgr CB upgrade process via updates and servicing channel is very straightforward if you have an ONLINE service connection point mode. If you are running an offline service connection point mode, then you need to perform some manual ways to get the latest version of SCCM CB 1610 updates available in your SCCM CB console.

For SCCM CB infra with an online service connection point, the SCCM CB 1610 update will automatically appear in the console once Microsoft has released this for “slow ring“. Now (18th Nov 2016), Microsoft released SCCM CB 1610 updates only for the “fast ring” which can be enabled only through running a PowerShell script provided in the following link here.

This is a 1-minute video that tells you how to start the SCCM CB 1610 upgrade process once the updates are available in the CM CB console. I have already covered the end-to-end SCCM CB upgrade process in a video here (even though that is about CM 1606 upgrade, the process is similar).

Start the Upgrade process from the Console

I’m sharing the video tutorial about How to Upgrade SCCM ConfigMgr CB 1610 console. You need to make sure all the reset activities of site system roles (sitecomp.log gives you more idea) have been completed before you initiate the SCCM ConfigMgr CB console upgrade process. Otherwise, there could be more chances of failures during the SCCM CB console upgrade.
