Enable Windows 10 servicing using SCCM | ConfigMgr | WSUS

Let’s learn how to enable Windows 10 servicing using SCCM (a.k.a Configuration Manager). I’ve seen many organizations using an In-place update task sequence instead of Windows 10 servicing to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10 2004.

Pre Requisites

To enable Windows 10 servicing using SCCM + WSUS, the following are the supported WSUS version required.

NOTE! – Don’t worry about the warning message if your WSUS server is on Windows server 2019.

  1. Hi Anoop,

    I followed your guide but I am not able to see Windows 10 2004 in Windows Servicing. I am on MECM CB and have updated the ADKs followed by server reboot. Updated my boot images with new ADK and WinPE as well. Triple checked software update configuration settings in default client settings. Synced updates as you shown above but I don’t see any 2004 update but I do see updates till 1909 x64 En business edition.

    Any suggestion here?

    • Hello Raghu – You need initiate sync couple of times to get the updates available under windows 10 servicing mode … there is no dependencies between sccm version upgrade and windows serving version availability

  2. Hi, my version of SCCM2002, the management center site SERVER2019 server, the sub-master site is Server2012R2 server, through the Windows10 maintenance update Windows10 2004 deployment to the client software center deployment type is available, the user Windows10 1909 client can not see Windows10 2004 in the software center Information options, is it caused by their different WSUS versions?
    Monitoring and deploying Windows 10 2004 on the console shows that the status of the client is unknown. What happened? It is normal for me to issue patches in the software update.

  3. You say this “From the Products make you have enabled the following product. Windows 10, version 1903 and later ” yet you also checked and highlighted Windows 10, version 1903 and later, Servicing Drivers in your screenshot and say nothing about that product and why you should check it. So many MVP’s just don’t understand any of the Upgrade and Servicing Driver products and when you need to select them…and by you not saying anything, I have to think you don’t know either.

  4. hello all,
    you state “Don’t worry about the warning message if your WSUS server is on Windows server 2019”

    and what if the wsus is a 2016 server
    can we also ignore the warning?
