SCCM Upgrade Process The ConfigMgr CB upgrade process via updates and servicing channel is very straightforward if you have an ONLINE service connection point mode.

How Did I Upgrade ConfigMgr SCCM CB 1602 to 1606
This is a 1-minute video that tells you how to start the SCCM CB 1610 upgrade process once the updates are available in the CM CB console. I have already covered the end-to-end SCCM CB upgrade process in a video here (even though that is about the CM 1606 upgrade, the process is similar).
Start the Upgrade Process from the Console
I’m sharing the video tutorial about upgrading the SCCM ConfigMgr CB 1610 console. Before initiating the SCCM ConfigMgr CB console upgrade process, you must complete all the reset activities for site system roles (sitecomp.log gives you more ideas). Otherwise, there could be more chances of failures during the SCCM CB console upgrade.

I ran the PS script to EnableFastRing and when I selected 1610 and install if failed. Stated I did not have enough disk space. I moved some data from the drive and added more storage then extended the volume as well. Now SCCM is in a stuck state checking prerequisites for 1606. I am going from 1602 to 1610 (skipping 1606). I’ve tried restarting the CAS and Primary Site server. Its been in this state for three days now and I’d really like to figure this out. All the Retry and Install options are grayed out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
StaffHi ! – The restart of the services would be the first step to resolve this issue with SCCM ConfigMgr CB 1606 to 1610 upgrade
Hello Annop
In my environment we have SCCM CB 1606, which was later migrated to version 1610.
A secondary site was then installed, but the secondary site has not copied the agents from the primary site to the secondary site. Normally this is done automatically, but this has not worked for me.
The message is as follows: “In progress – Waiting for Content” status
I understand that this happened earlier with the 2012 version and was solved with a fix from Microsoft
Do you know if this has happened also with this version (1610) ??
I will be attentive to your answer.
Greetings.
StaffI think, this means the content is not reached the secondary server. Have you confirmed the content has already been replicated to secondary site? There is one flowchart which explains the underline process of content replication with respect to CM update https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/servers/manage/update-replication-flowchart
Do we have option to migrate SCCM 1606 to 1802 using fast ring script? If yes please help me with steps.
Thanks,
Sundar
Hi Anoop,

Sundar
Stafffast ring script won’t work once MS releases the slow ring. But why do you need fast ring script. It’s not going to help you in resolving any issues if I understand correctly.
Any site to verify the version available in fast ring or slow ring ?
StaffYes, normally Microsoft updates the TechCommunity post with this information. For 2203, it’s https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/configuration-manager-blog/update-2203-for-microsoft-endpoint-configuration-manager-current/ba-p/3280318 and I have updated https://www.anoopcnair.com/sccm-2203-upgrade-guide-top-5-best-new-features/ post with the screenshot.

Note: The update is now globally available to all customers. The script to enable the first wave is no longer necessary.
