  • 1.  Upgrade System Build

    Posted Mar 25, 2019 08:33 AM

    Hello and Welcome everyone

    In my company we are using Endpoint Encryption 11.1.3 (Build 804) with Autologon and I wonder if you found any solution to "upgrading system build" problem in Windows 10 ?

    We are preparing for massive migration from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and problem is , When we try upgrade system build 1803 to 1809 etc , after first restart  , upgrade crashes because Build setup loads before hard drive logon 

    i know script methode for solving that but keeping every pc/laptop up-to-date with it might be...problematic (500+ pc updated by WSUS)

    Looking forward to hear from you 

    Cheers

    Norbert

    It sounds as if you've alredy read this, but the scripts provided in the below article are the only supported methods of accomplishing an inplace Windows OS upgrade of SEE Disk Encrypted machine:

    I've mentioned this several times on the forums, but my personal recommendation, and the method that I've had the most success with, is to wipe the target machines and rebuild them anew, using PXE or Ghost (or any other method that boots to alternative media).  Anything like SCCM that creates a new WinPE partition on an already encrypted disk seems to consistently fail.
