we were already in the process of preparing 1700 devices to upgrade from 1809 to 1909 via SCCM task sequence.... the 1700 clients already downloaded the upgrade-image (dating from April 2020 because we started piloting the first devices around that time of the year) into their ccmcache folder and we disabled the actual upgrade task sequence once reading these internet-posts about certificates being lost.
We could refresh the installation image (which is used in the upgrade task sequence) to the latest one released by MS (version 2004, 20H2) but that would mean all 1700 clients need to download this newer image file (again 4,5 GBs to be downloaded).
Is there another smoother way to upgrade from 1809 to 1909? For example: does the cumulative update from November 2020 for 1809 contain the needed fix so the certificates don't get lost when upgrading from 1809 to 1909?
