Win 10 1607 OSD upgrade hangs with "Starting Driver Inventory" in setupact.log
Recently resolved a case with a Windows 7 - 10 IPU issue that I wrote a help document internally with the help of Frank Rojas but has now been posted publicly (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4020149/updates-fix-in-place-upgrade-to-windows-10-version-1607-problem) Additional details about it can be found below.
ISSUE
When upgrading Windows 7 to 10 via SCCM with the integrated Operating System Upgrade task sequence using the Windows 10 1607 Enterprise media. We are continuously running into the error of 0xC1900208 which is flagged as a compatibility error on the workstation. However, using the same exact media loaded onto a thumb drive or network share, I receive no compatibility errors.
SMSTS.log shows these entries:
02-16-2017 10:04:55.970 OSDUpgradeWindows 4940 (0x134c) Windows Setup failed with hexadecimal exit code 0xC1900208 ( decimal 3247440392). To identify the type of issue, lookup it against the table of known values of Windows Setup errors online.

NOTICE THAT setupact.log stops abruptly at:
02-27-2017 13:14:23.000 CONX Windows::Compat::Appraiser::WicaApplicationInventory::GetInventory (263): Starting Application Inventory.
02-27-2017 13:14:23.000 CONX Windows::Compat::Appraiser::DriverInventory::GetInventory (204): Starting Driver Inventory.
CAUSE
Windows 10 1607 known issue
RESOLUTION/WORKAROUND
Apply compatibility update for upgrading to Windows 10 Version 1607: January 10, 2017 or later
The hotfix description is a bit generic and unfortunately does not describe the issues it corrects, including this issue. Also this hotfix is implemented a bit different than your standard hotfix. Please take the following steps to apply the hotfix:
1) Download the hotfix from https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=3211309
2) After downloading the CAB file, extract its contents.
3) Determine the source directory of your Windows 10 1607 installation files. You can find this in the properties of the Upgrade Operating System Package
4) After determining the source directory, copy the contents of the extracted CAB file into the Source folder of the Windows 10 1607 installation files. Click yes to overwrite any existing files
5) Update the DPs for the Upgrade Operating System Package
6) Once the DPs have been updated, retry the deployments and see if the issue is corrected
