Configuration Manager client left in provisioning mode after upgrade to Windows 10

  • Article

This article solves the issue that the Configuration Manager client is left in provisioning mode after performing an in-place upgrade to Windows 10.

Original product version:   Configuration Manager (current branch)
Original KB number:   4021950

Symptoms

When you use the Upgrade an operating system from upgrade package operating system task sequence to perform an in-place upgrade to Windows 10, the Configuration Manager client may be left in provisioning mode after the upgrade succeeds and the client restarts.

Cause

This issue can occur when you specify an OEM product key for the operating system upgrade.

Resolution

To fix this issue, only specify volume license or retail product keys for the operating system upgrade.

More information

The task sequence depends on the execution of SetupComplete.cmd by Windows to take the Configuration Manager client out of provisioning mode. SetupComplete.cmd is disabled when you use OEM product keys. You can check the C:\Windows\Panther\UnattendGC\Setupact.log file to determine whether SetupComplete.cmd was executed or skipped.

To clear clients that are already stuck in provisioning mode, run the SetClientProvisioningMode method from an elevated command prompt:

Powershell.exe Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root\CCM -Class SMS_Client -Name SetClientProvisioningMode -ArgumentList $false
