Download Latest SCCM Installation Media | Baseline Version | ConfigMgr

Let’s download the latest SCCM installation media for new Configuration Manager server installations. This installation media can be used only for new server installations. For the rest of the scenarios, you must use the version available under the CD.Latest folder.

Microsoft released the latest version of the baseline image, 2103. Until Microsoft releases the 2203 version of SCCM, this is the latest version of the baseline image.

SCCM installation media is released once a year and is also called the baseline version of SCCM.

Also, as David James mentioned on Twitter, Baseline builds allow clean installation from scratch without upgrading from the previous version.

When to Use the SCCM Baseline Version?

The following are the scenarios where you must use the latest source files to install the Configuration Manager infrastructure.

The following table will help you understand the scenarios. You should use the baseline version of Configuration Manager.

Scenario	Baseline Version	In-console Update	CD.Latest Folder

You can download the latest production version (Baseline Media = Installation Media) from any of the following Microsoft offerings:

• Eval Center (Available now Free Download – Trail Versions)

Download Latest SCCM Installation Media from VLSC & Visual Studio Subscription

I don’t think the baseline media or new installation media for the latest version of SCCM was released on VLSC & Visual Studio Subscription. I have checked Visual Studio Subscription, and it’s not available yet.

I will keep you posted if I see any updates. Please feel free to use the comments section below to update the community about the availability of the latest SCCM installation media in VLSC.
