In-Place Upgrade using SCCM Fails (W7 to W10)

I'm trying to troubleshoot attempting to perform an in-place upgrade using SCCM (following the blog posted by the SCCM Team).
I started with a fresh build of an HP z620 using our standard corporate Windows 7 64bit Enterprise (SP1) build.
My first attempt just hung after rebooting into WinPE.  It was able to complete the "Getting Ready" step but then would go no further.  In fact it sat at that boot screen for most of the weekend.
I found a forum post that suggested running SCF/SCANNOW to make sure that all the system files were intact.  I did this and attempted it again.  This time a Windows 10 "Your PC ran into a problem" flashed briefly and then it rebooted
and rolled back to Windows 7.
Any suggestions on where I should look?  I've been testing this task sequence on a Hyper-V VM using the same corporate image and it works fine.  My gut keeps telling me it's driver related, but I don't know if I'm just jumping to conclusions.

You should post a comment on the blog about this and ask them where to post
for support on this issue.
The only officially supported methods are using the ISO or Windows Update.

  • In-place upgrade of Windows Server 2012 RDS to R2 fails

    Hi All
    I have a Server 2012 Standard RDS virtual machine (vmware) on which I have tried doing an in-place upgrade to 2012 R2 but it constantly fails.
    It sits at the "Collecting files, settings and applications" process for quite a while - always on 0% and then says: Installing Windows was Canceled "Setup can't continue. Restart the computer and restart Setup. When prompted, try getting
    the latest updates."
    I have tried combinations of all the settings during setup to look for updates, not look for updates, etc., rebooted several times, even disabled the RDS services and still the same result.
    As a test, I tried doing an in-place upgrade on the base OS installation that was used to create this VM and it works perfectly. The only difference between the servers is that the live has RDS role installed.
    Is there any Microsoft documentation on the 2012 RDS in-place upgrade process to R2?
    Can anyone offer any suggestion as to why the in-place upgrade might be failing with the RDS role installed?
    Thanks heaps

    As I stated I have already tried an in-place upgrade on the base 2012 vm that I used to create the production RDP server and it worked.
    It seems that the RDS role may be preventing the upgrade?
    Ideally I want to go down the in-place upgrade on the production server as we have alot of users using this machine. I would rather not have to build an R2 RDS server from scratch.
    if you really think the RDS is preventing the upgrade, how about stopping the RDS service then do an in place upgrade.
    check how it goes.. :)
    Every second counts..make use of it. Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

  • In place upgrade from R1 to R2 2012

    Is it safe and supported to do an in place upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 (R1) to SCCM 2012 R2?

    Yes it is.  See

  • In place upgrade to 2012 R2 fails, Setup can't continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of windows will be restored.

    
    I have multiple Windows Server 2008 R2 machines in which I am attempting to do an in place upgrade to 2012 R2, and it is repeatedly failing.
    Setup gets all the way through, and it says Getting ready, followed immediately by an error saying: Setup can't continue.  Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored.
    I am attempting to install:
    Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (Server with GUI)

    I have found several posts, many discussing how disk space can be an issue, I have increased disk space so it shouldn't be an issue.  I have also made sure the only only partition on disk 0 is C: and system reserved.
    I have disabled all unessential services and went through and removed all unessential applications, and extras.  Still getting the error.

    Any ideas on how I can resolve this, or further troubleshoot?

    I also had this error: "Setup cannot continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored."
    trying to do a in-place upgrade of a Domain Controller Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2.
    The problem was the separated System Reserved Partition. After I removed using this instructions:
    http://jacobackerman.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-remove-system-reserved-partition.html
    The upgrade ran ok, and now have my DC as Windows 2012 R2.
    Hope that helps!.

  • Upgrade to SCCM 2012 R2 Failed - Can I Simply Move SCCM Database to Replacement SCCM 2012 R2 System?

    I started with SCCM 2012 RTM and attempted an upgrade to SCCM 2012 R2.  The upgrade failed and left the the system unusable.  I was able to recover the entire system (single server) from backup.  
    Rather than risk another failed upgrade can I simply build a new server and move the existing SCCM database to a new SCCM 2012 R2 system?

  • Upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 to R2 Fails - Unsupported Upgrade Path

    Hi everybody,
    I'm currently upgrading our SCCM infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2 after have finished with the upgrade from SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 CU4, thus far everything works fine, but when I try to update any
    of the site servers, whether CAS or Primary, I'm getting the following error message in the Prerequisites Check:
    I've gone through the system requirements and prerequisites over and over again and I can assure you that every possible update, supported OS, feature set, SQL Server, check list, etc,
    etc, have been followed as per the official documentation available, however I'm stuck in this point, and surely enough I haven't been able to find out a similar case.Additionally I'm adding
    the ConfigMgrPrereq log (the relevant portion of it) in case someone could kindly take a look at it.

    I've already tried the

    Finally,  the version, build number and everything is correct, no idea what could be the problem, does anybody know a way to bypass this or force the re-evaluation of this rules, I've got

    Hello again everybody,
    I've finally managed to fix this up, in the end I had to delete those entries manually from the database as Garry suggested. After this was done the upgrade has gone through as expected with no further ado and has finalized already, now moving on to the
    primary sites.
    If anybody out there is facing the same issue, what I did was to delete those "stubborn" records executing the following statements over the CAS database:
    DELETE
    FROMServerDataWHERESiteCode='XXX'
    DELETE
    FROMSC_SiteDefinitionWHERESiteCode='XXX'
    And this is pretty much about it. I'd recommend to take a proper backup first though as best practice.
    Thank you all anyways for your answers and comments,

  • "Windows 8.1 installation has failed" - in-place upgrade to Windows 8.1 U1

    I am unable to upgrade my toshiba laptop that has Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 U1. I am getting an error message at 37% or 39% through the upgrade process and am met with an error message similar to this:
     Ignore the 96%, but this is the same exact error message I am getting each time I try to do an in-place upgrade of Windows 8.1 U1 Pro.
    I am currently running Windows 8 Pro on my laptop. I have the .cbs log file contents here:
    http://pastebin.com/52QpQzZA
    I really would like to do an in-place upgrade and not have to re-configure all the apps and their settings again. What could be causing this failure?

    I have seem to have figured out the problem after some trial and error.
    First, I followed another user's solution about turning off Windows Update service before I performed the Windows 8.1 Upgrade via USB flash drive.
    Second, my mistake here was I was upgrading Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 U1. When I tried upgrading Windows 8 to
    Windows 8.1, it finally worked without issue.
    Either I was upgrading two versions ahead that made the Windows Upgrade process fail each time or it had something to do with Windows Update service being on during the upgrade process.
    It has completed without failure!
    Thank you for your replies!

    What should i do?

    Hello @chavanjayesh2001... I wanted to give you some tips for when you can't update the software of your phone:
    -Make sure that the Internet connection is good. If the update process is interrupted it might be due to loss of Internet connection.
    -Try using another USB cable and usb port in your computer.
    -Try using another PC.
    -Temporary disable any firewalls and or antivirus software.
    -Start your PC in “Safe mode with networking” mode. This is done by pressing F8 during PC boot. When Windows is started in safe mode, try taking the update again.

  • Upgrade of Adobe Reader 10.1.0 to 10.1.3 using SCCM

    Hi Team,
    We want to roll out Adobe Reader 10.1.0 to 10.1.3 using SCCM, gone through many forums still get confusing. please let me know what is best pracitce to upgrade 10.1.0 to 10.1.3 using simpliest way..
    Thanks in Advance.

    You only need the latest patch, which is 10.1.4 by now.
    the TS looks like this.
    Step 1: uninstall old Reader Versions
    WMI Query : (root\cimv2\sms)
    if all of the conditions are true
    Select * From SMS_installedSoftware Where ProductName Like '%Adobe%Reader%' And Not ProductVersion Like '10.%'
    ... running the following script
    strComputer = "."
    intRet = 0
    Set sho = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2\sms")
    Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("select * from SMS_InstalledSoftware where ProductName Like '%Adobe%Reader%' And Not ProductVersion Like '10.%'",,48)
    For Each objItem in colItems
      strVersion = objItem.ProductVersion
      prodCode = objItem.ProductCode
      strCommand = "C:\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe /X" & prodCode & " /norestart /q"
      intRet = sho.run(strCommand,0,True)
      If intRet = 3010 Then
        intRet = 0
      End If
    Next
    wscript.quit(intRet)
    Step 2 : Install Adobe Reader 10
    WMI Query : (root\cimv2\SMS)
    if none of the condidions are true
    Select * From SMS_installedSoftware Where ProductName Like '%Adobe%Reader%'
    Step 3: Install Adobe Reader Update 10.1.4
    WMI Query:  (root\cimv2\SMS)
    if all of the conditions are true
    Select * From SMS_installedSoftware Where ProductName Like '%Adobe%Reader%' And ProductVersion Like '10.%' And ProductVersion != '10.1.4'

  • Repair of Win 8.1 using In-Place Upgrade

    I am unable to get on to the internet or join a Homegroup on my laptop. I have tried an In-Place Upgrade but as soon as I entered the Product Key, it tells me it's incorrect. I have checked with your support people who confirm it's valid and rechecked
    what I entered but still no luck. I have also ran dism.exe and sfc.exe with all the correct parameters but it's not fixed the problem. What should I try next?

    Thees are the only 2 errors recorded several times. The are no messages in either the Listener or Provider Service logs.
    I can access the internet now.
    I have tried turning the firewalls on both machines off and checking again. I can't see a Homegroup on the Win 8.1 machine at all from Win 7. The other way around I have already described to you.
    Setup.etl doesn't exist anywhere in the %windir% folder tree.
    I haven't seen the circular logs problem for 3 weeks now, so guess that's fixed.

  • Question about "SetupComplete.ps1" from TechNet Blog on using SCCM to Upgrade

    I've been following
    this article from the SCCM Team Blog on using SCCM to perform an upgrade to Windows 10.
    My question is what exactly is this portion of the SetupComplete PowerShell script doing?
    Create-LogEntry "Start Task Manager Service..."
    $service = Get-Service -Name "smstsmgr"
    Set-Service -Name $service.Name -StartupType Automatic
    Start-Service -Name $service.Name
    Create-LogEntry "$($service.DisplayName) is currently $($service.Status), start mode: $((gwmi -class win32_service -filter "name='$($service.Name)'").StartMode)"
    Create-LogEntry "Wait for Task Manager Service..."
    $service.WaitForStatus("Stopped")
    What I've been having trouble with is that the machine will sit at the last step of the migration (something like "Setting up a few things... 100%) and never continues.
    When I check what is running in the background I found PowerShell.exe just sitting there running but doing nothing.  That led me to take a look at SetupComplete.ps1.  According to the log it generates it looks like it is waiting for the Task
    Manager Service (smstsmgr) to stop but the service never stops.  When I check the service is running and if I try to stop it I get an error that it is not possible to stop the service.
    What is the purpose of this step in the script?  Can I comment it out or will that open a whole can of hurt for me?  If the smstsmgr service does not stop, is there another way to "kill" it so that the script can continue on?
    Thanks
    Mike

    This is most likely caused by ccmsetup trying to use patch parameters, coming from the .TCF cached on the machine, pointing to an MSP that is no longer available - for example: PATCH="C:\Windows\Temp\configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2994331-x64.msp".
    After Windows upgrade, the old Windows directory will be renamed to Windows.old, so the prior path becomes invalid, therefore blocking the client install from successfully completing. To verify if this is what is happening either review the ccmsetup.log or
    the %windir%\ccmsetup\moblieclient.tcf file’s PATCH= value.
    To work around the issue, repush the ConfigMgr client, without a transient client install PATCH= value, prior to launching the Windows upgrade task sequence. Doing this will remove the invalid value from the mobileclient.tcf
    file. The product group is aware of this issue and will be updating ConfigMgr to better handle this new Windows 10 deployment scenario. For more information on plans for adding enterprise management of Windows 10 to System Center Configuration Manager, please

  • How can I perform an "in-place upgrade" on an unbootable Windows 7 machine or at least rebuild Safe Mode?

    Some strange glitch has erased every single unlocked & unprotected file on my C: drive. It wasn't a virus because I checked autorun records and running processes using the respective Sysinternals utilities and didn't find anything suspicious.
    I restored all data except for some system files and files that had "too long" of a path using shadow copies, which luckily for me were just a few hours old. Then, I decided to reboot into Recovery Environment and run System Restore from there. For even
    more strange reason, the available restore points in RE were dated November 2010 (it's May 2012 right now) and the recent save dates are nowhere to be found.
    To make matters worse, SFC doesn't work and Safe Mode shows BSOD after loading CLASSPNP.SYS.
    Error messages so far:
    RE's startup repair tool: System files integrity check and repair error code 0x2
    SFC: Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation
    BSOD: 0x7B (0xFFFFF880009A9928, 0XFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0, 0x0), but the HDD is perfectly fine - it's a dual-boot machine
    CBS.log: Failed to get CSI store. [HRESULT = 0x80073712 - ERROR_SXS_COMPONENT_STORE_CORRUPT]
    What I need is a way to perform either an in-place upgrade without booting into Windows, or a way to fix the SXS Component Store, or rebuild the Safe Mode so that I could initiate upgrade install from there. A clean install isn't an option because I don't
    have the luxury of time to run through the reboot cycles when re-installing and updating other software (I'm using Windows 8 CP for now as my work tools are mostly in the cloud).

    It is not possible to do a repair install of a system unless you can boot to the system.
    Have you checked the hard drive for problems? - download the manufacturer's test utility, create the disk, and run the extended checks.

  • Error while deploying Windows 2008 R2 using SCCM 2012 R2

    I am trying to deploy Window 2008 R2 image (captured from a  reference machine) using SCCM 2012 R2. I have integrated MDT 2013 with SCCM 2012 R2 and created an MDT task sequence. During deployment, towards the end of Applying image.wim, it gives me
    an error that task sequence failed with the error code 0x80070002. And then the system reboots. After reboot, I am able to login to the Windows Server. It seems to work fine, but there are no applications etc installed. Also the _SMSTS log folder is still
    present in  the C drive. And in the smsts.log file, i can see errors like failed to copy unattend.xml file. Please help me.

    Hi,
    Error code 0x80070002, it means the system cannot find file specified.
    For more information, please review the link below:
