    Microsoft released an update 1910 for Configuration Manager. This update is available as an in-console update and not a baseline version. You can apply this update on sites that run version 1806 (Min version 5.00.8692.0000) or later.

    If you want to install a new Configuration Manager, then you must use the baseline version which is 1902 and then perform an in-console update to receive update 1910.

    Recently, at Ignite 2019, Microsoft announced ,that they are integrating Microsoft Intune, Configuration Manager, and more into a single solution called Microsoft Endpoint Manager. For more information about Microsoft Endpoint Manager, please read here

    The following Microsoft management solutions are all now part of the Microsoft Endpoint Manager brand:

    • Configuration Manager
    • Intune
    • Desktop Analytics
    • Autopilot
    • Other features in the Device Management Admin Console

    From this update 1910, system center configuration manager is changed to Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager and no more part of system center suite (MEMCM/MECM ,no #SCCM).

    At this time, update 1910 is released for the early update ring. To install this update via an in-console update, you need to opt-in.

    How tp opt-in ?

    Microsoft has released PowerShell script that helps you to get this update in your console using an early update ring.

    Before you start updating your site, please read through the pre-requisites check for things like a supported version of ADK, SQL and others.

    Once you validated the prerequisites checks and running on supported configuration, you can run the PowerShell script.

    Download the Powershell script from Technet

    Launch an elevated command prompt and run the enableearlyupdatering1910.ps1 script.

    .\enableearlyupdatering1910.ps1 -site server CAS/Primary site name|IP address -Verbose

    clip_image007

    The command completed successfully.

    If your sccm server has a service connection point with internet access, you will now see a 1910 update in the console.

    If the update 1910 is applicable or not to your site, you can monitor hman.log

    clip_image009

    Once we know that, the update is applicable, we can now launch the console and download the update.

    Lunch the SCCM Console, click administration bar and under updates and servicing, you will see 1910 with state ‘available to download’

    If you are not seeing the update, force a check for the update by clicking click "Check for Updates" in the updates and servicing console.

    What things change in Configuration Manager with Microsoft Endpoint Manager?

    In version 1910, aside from the name change, Configuration Manager still functions the same. Some of the name changes may impact your use of the following components:

    • Configuration Manager console: Find shortcuts to the console and the Remote Control Viewer under the Windows Start menu in the Microsoft Endpoint folder.
    • Software Center: Find the Software Center shortcut under the Windows Start menu in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager folder.

    Happy exploring!
