In-place Upgrade Task Sequence not visible for all computers

Question

We are about to perform IPU from various Windows 10 builds to 20H2. CM site version is 2006 with latest hotfixes installed. It is Https only and we have CMG in use, also local DPs as well. Now I am only testing IPU TS. I have 2 problems;

1. Not for all machine the IPU is available in Software Center. Machine object is online and in its deployment view it is a member of a TS. Content to near DP is distributed. Boundaries are set fine.
2. Few computers which failed first time during TS execution in a middle of it, because of the content mismatch or http errors, never saw the TS available again.

Do these sounds like a bugs? I have long experience with CM so doubt I did any stupid mistake.

Answer 1

Are these shared devices? Does the intended user have primary session id? Have the machines received the deployment policy?

Answer 2

Thanks for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

In response to the second problem that few clients cannot see task sequence again after they fail to finish the task sequence, it may be caused by the fact that the client is left in provisioning mode.

You can verify that the client is in provisioning mode, go through the path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM\ CcmExec in Registry Editor.
If the status is true, use PowerShell can make it exit the provisioning mode, please refer to the following PowerShell command:
Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace "root\ccm" -Class "SMS_Client" -Name
"SetClientProvisioningMode" $false

Hope the above information is helpful to you.
