Running custom actions during a Windows 10 Feature Update with Configuration Manager

Deploying Windows 10 Feature Updates in your organisation can be approached in multiple ways. As we merge the perimeter with the Cloud some of us are trying to understand the best way to deliver Feature Updates to our devices. Should we deploy an in-place upgrade using a ConfigMgr task sequence? Perhaps we should push the Feature Update directly from ConfigMgr to our devices. Have we considered leveraging our CMG and using Microsoft as a source for the update binaries to save our VPNs? Maybe some of us are on a co-management journey and are looking at using WUfB. Which ever technology we are leveraging one of the questions that normally gets asked is “Can we control the update process in a way that lets us ‘Run Stuff’ after the Feature Update has completed”.

It is not unusual to still see 3rd party products being used in Windows 10. Brad Anderson said “Making a big impact starts with making things really simple” when he outlined Microsoft’s vision for modern management. I get this completely and agree with the rhetoric but some orgs are still trying to come around to the idea of “Modern” and some die hard admins just won’t let go of their tried and tested tech.
