What’s New Improvement with SCCM Task Sequence Check Readiness Step | ConfigMgr

Let’s discuss What’s New Improvement with SCCM Task Sequence Check Readiness Step | ConfigMgr. Starting in Configuration Manager version 2103, the SCCM task sequence check readiness step now provides additional information about the readiness checks.

If the task sequence fails because the client does not meet the prerequisites configured in the Check readiness step, users can now view more details about the failed prerequisites.

However, the user can still see the common task sequence error message but can then select an option to Inspect. This action shows the checks that failed on the device.

The readiness check is a built-in step in the SCCM Task Sequence with Windows 10 upgrade options. You can also include it to verify that the target computer meets the specified deployment prerequisite conditions.
