SCCM 2111 and upgrading windows 10 Enterprise 21H2 to Windows 11 Enterprise 21H2

Question

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade windows 10 21H to Windows 11 21H using sccm 2111 Task sequence.
I get during installation the error code 0X80004005. If checked the smsts log file, I can see the following errors

Failed to delete previous value SetupProgress of reg key SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup\Volatile
Failed to run the action: Upgrade Operating System. Error -2147467259
The execution of the group (Upgrade the Operating System) has failed and the execution has been aborted. An action failed. Error 0x80004004

Hi @PerserPolis-1732 ,

We could add the command line before the step of prepare for upgrade, please refer to the following screenshot:

And after deploying, the value has been changed.

About add it in my TS a Registry entry, refer to the article:

Hi @PerserPolis-1732 ,

Please try to manually upgrade without sccm to check if it is successful. If not, it maybe related with Windows.

Failed to delete previous value SetupProgress of reg key SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup\Volatile

Based on the below link the failure is due to an encrypted file present in the system user profile which failed the whole upgrade process, if we move the file or delete it may succeed after a system reboot.

Executing setupdiag helps on identifying the issue on some machine along with the above workaround.

Hi

I can upgrade windows 11 without sccm.
I can guess it is the by checking the hardware from windows 11. Could you tell me please how I can add in my TS a Registry entry?

the following entry

in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup"
add a "DWORD 32 Value"

Named: "AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU"

With the entry I can pass the CPU check of from Windows 11

Thanks

Facing the same issue in our company environment, will try to implement the same step in our test task sequence and then will see the results.
