The first Hotfix Rollup for SCCM Current Branch (1710) is now available. This post is a complete SCCM 1710 Hotfix Rollup (KB4057517) installation guide. If you’re looking for a complete SCCM Current Branch installation guide, see our blog series which covers it all. You can’t install this upgrade if you are running SCCM 2012. You need to be running SCCM 1710 to apply this update.

Installing SCCM upgrades is important for your infrastructure. It fixes a lot of issues from SCCM 1710, which some of them are important.

New Update and Servicing Model

If you’re not familiar with the new SCCM servicing model, read our New Update and Servicing section of the 1602 upgrade post which explain it all.

You may wonder what’s the difference between a Cumulative Update (CU) and an Update Rollup (UR)/Hotfix RollUp (HR) :

A CU is a new servicing baseline. A post-CU1 hotfix requires CU1 first, whereas a post-UR1 hotfix doesn’t require UR1. Like CU, UR is cumulative which means that UR2 will include previous hotfixes.

*If you are running SCCM 1511, 1602, 1606,1610, 1702 and 1706 you first need to upgrade to 1710 prior to applying this Hotfix Rollup, see our blog which covers the upgrade process. Once completed, the Hotfix Rollup will be available under Update and Servicing node.

List of SCCM 1710 Hotfix Rollup Fixes

Consult this support page for a full list of issues fixed.

Before you begin

Downloading and installing this update is done entirely from the console. There’s no download link, the update will appear on your console once synchronized.

When you install an in-console update: (New Versions,CU,UR,KB)

  • It automatically runs a prerequisite check. You can also run this check prior to starting the installation
  • It installs at the central administration site (if you have one), and at primary sites automatically. You can control when each primary site server is allowed to update its infrastructure by using Service Windows for site servers
  • After a site server updates, all affected site system roles (including instances of the SMS Provider) automatically update. Configuration Manager consoles also prompt the console user to update the console, after the site installs the update
  • If an update includes the Configuration Manager client, you are offered the option to test the update in pre-production, or to apply the update to all clients immediately
  • After a primary site is updated, secondary sites do not automatically update. Instead, you must initiate the secondary site update

In this post, we’ll be updating a standalone Primary Site Server, console and clients.

Reminder

It’s a best practice to have some exclusions for your antivirus/anti-malware software on the SCCM server. Here a list for exclusions from SCCM 2012, which is still valid for CB as far as we know.You could also consider disabling the AV prior to installing the update and re-enable it once completed.

Before installing, check if your site is ready for the update :
  • Open the SCCM console
  • Go to Administration \ Cloud Services \ Updates and Servicing
  • In the State column, ensure that the update is Available

  • If not already downloaded, hit Download
  • If it’s not available, right-click Updates and Servicing and select Check for Updates

SCCM 1706 Update Rollup 1

  • The update state will change to Downloading
  • You can follow the download in Dmpdownloader.log

The update files are stored in the EasyPayload folder in your SCCM Installation directory

Step 2 | Launching the SCCM 1710 Hotfix Rollup

We are now ready to launch the SCCM 1710 Hotfix Rollup. At this point, plan about 30 minutes for the update installation.

  • Right click the Configuration Manager 1710 update and select Install Update Pack

SCCM 1710 Hotfix Rollup

  • On the General tab, click Next

SCCM 1710 Hotfix Rollup

Warning

We’ve done numerous SCCM  installation/upgrade. Some installation start a couple of minutes after you complete the wizard but we’ve seen some installation starts after a 10 minutes delay. Do not reboot or restart any services during this period or your update could be stuck in “Prerequisite check passed” status and all other options grayed out. There’s actually no officially documented methods by Microsoft to fix that. Patience is the key!
  • When completed, you’ll notice the message There are no pending update package to be processed in the log file
  • Refresh the Updates and Servicing node, the State column will be Installed

Updating the consoles

Since 1602, the console has an auto-update feature. At console opening, if you are not running the latest version, you will receive a warning and the update will start automatically.

  • Since all updates operations were initiated from the console, we didn’t close it during the process. We received a warning message when clicking certain objects. You will have the same message when opening a new console

SCCM 1710 Hotfix Rollup

  • Click OK,  console update will start automatically

SCCM 1706 Update Rollup 1

SCCM 1706 Update Rollup 1

  • Wait for the process to complete. You can follow the progress in C:\ConfigMgrAdminUISetup.log and C:\ConfigMgrAdminUISetupVerbose.log. Once completed, the console will open and you’ll be running the latest version

Verification

Consoles

After setup is completed, verify the build number of the console. If the console upgrade was successful, the build number will be 5.0.8577.1108. Note that the Site Version is not changed to the Hotfix Rollup version. This is normal.

SCCM 1710 Hotfix Rollup

Clients

The client version will be updated to 5.00.8577.1108 (after updating, see section below)

SCCM 1710 Hotfix Rollup

SCCM 1710 Hotfix Rollup Client Package distribution

You’ll see that the 2 client packages are updated:

  • Navigate to Software Library \ Application Management \ Packages

SCCM 1706 Update Rollup 1

  • Check if both packages were updated, if not, select both packages and initiate a Distribute Content to your distribution points

Updating the Clients

Our preferred way to update our clients is by using the Client Upgrade feature:

  • Open the SCCM Console
  • Go to Administration / Site Configuration / Sites
  • Click the Hierarchy Settings in the top ribbon
  • Select Client Upgrade tab
  • The Upgrade client automatically when the new client update are available checkbox has been enabled
  • Review your time frame and adjust it to your needs

Monitor SCCM Client Version Number

You can see our SCCM Client version reports to give detailed information about every client’s versions in your environment. It’s the easiest way to track your client updates.Collections

You can also create a collection that targets clients without the latest client version. I use it to monitor which client haven’t been updated yet.

SCCM 2012 - System Health Configuration Manager SS

Collections

Here’s the query to achieve this: (You can also refer to our Set of Operational Collection Powershell Script which contains this collection)

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.ClientVersion != '5.00.8577.1108'

If you grab the MSP file from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\i386\ConsoleUpdate on your site server, you can do an msiexec /p as a second step to the console install and have it be updated during the initial installation. Still not ideal, but will work for now

hi Guys, thank you for this article. I have question regarding secondary sites. Currently I have SCCM 1706 with several secondary sites installed. By article info on primary site I have to first install SCCM 1710 and then rolloup will appeared. My question is how about secondary site? Can I update primary site with SCCM 1710 and rollup and AFTER this procedure update secondary sites. Or I have to update primary site to ver. 1710, then update all secondary sites and then update rollup on primary sites and again update all secondary sites? Thank you for your info and help. Lukas

Great, article. Thanks! Having upgraded, should the 'published' and 'available' client versions both show as the latest version in the Software Update-Based Configuration Manager Client Installation properties? Ours both show the older version - 5.00.8577.1100, not .1108. The pre-prod and prod clients are both 5.00.8577.1108.
