Video Guide SCCM 1804 Preview Version Baseline Media ConfigMgr. Microsoft SCCM team released SCCM 1804 TP (Technical Preview).

1804 is the baseline version of the SCCM technical preview. You can download SCCM 1804 from the evaluation portal. Once the 1802 baseline build is downloaded, you can build a new SCCM infra with 1802.

What is the SCCM CB Technical Preview Version – If you have not installed the SCCM preview version in the lab, I recommend downloading and installing the latest preview baseline version, SCCM 1804. 

The above download link should be used ONLY when you want to test the Preview version in your LAB environment. The SCCM CB Preview version is valid only for 90 days or 3 months. This version should NOT be installed in the production environment. The SCCM preview version supports a maximum of TEN(10) clients.

SCCM 1804 version introduced a new feature called “Manage content library.” To free up hard drive space on the SCCM primary site server, relocate its content library to another storage location.

SCCM 1804 – Feature Highlights
Move Content library for the site server (site server in passive mode improvements?)
Submit feedback from the SCCM console
New Log Reading Tool via Support Center
Uninstall application on approval revocation (Are you using uninstall collections?)
Exclude AD containers from the discovery.
Specify the visibility of the Application Catalog website link in the Software Center.

How Do I Move the Content Library from the Site Server?

We can move the content library to another drive on the site server, a separate server, or fault-tolerant disks in a storage area network (SAN). In many earlier versions of SCCM TP, we used to have a known issue with the site server being in passive mode. Update to a new preview version fails when a site server is in passive mode.

  • This known issue has been removed since the 1803 version documentation. This feature helps achieve site server HA (High Availability).

Uninstall Application on Approval Revocation (Collections?)

I saw a tweet from Mark Silvey. Using uninstall collections is not needed anymore! Check out #ConfigMgr 1804 TP and give us feedback. We are very excited about this feature, which Mark mentioned in his tweet. 

When you revoke an application’s approval, the behaviour changes. When you deny the application request, the client uninstalls the application from the user’s device.

  1. Hi – Thanks for sharing new feature from 1804.

    I would like to install and test CB1804 within home lab. My home lab is as follows:

    Network – 192.168.0.x
    Current CB1802 – 192.168.0.4
    DC1 – 192.168.0.2
    Gateway – 192.168.0.1
    DOMAIN – RAMLAN.CA

    How can, I setup Preview CB1804 within above setup? I want CB1802 and CB1804 independent of their environment. Appreciate your input
