Just wanted to share, what I think is a very complex package that would hopefully give people ideas on how to better use lansweeper package deployments. the Windows 10 files used were Windowsupdatebox.exe and an ESD file.

ESD File can be downloaded by doing a google search or if you use WSUS you can right click the applicable update for your network, view file information and get the download URL from there.

Hello, This tool looks exactly what I am looking for. I have got myself an ESD file, but where do I find a copy of Windowsupdatebox.exe???

Thanks

Can't this be found in "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\" and then a UID folder name?
At least that's what I was able to find online Angel

Hello,

Many thanks for your post.

I found both files in WSUS, with a right click on the upgrade package, selecting "file Information"
I also tried to install it on a computer and found the same files in C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\SomeUID"

I removed step 11 as it is related to your anti-virus and replaced ESD with 1909 (also replaced all 1903 in your script)
also modified last step to stop success and failure.

Works well !

Very different to the way we are doing things.

Disable Sleep on Battery
cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -standby-timeout-dc 0

Disable Sleep on Mains Power
cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -standby-timeout-ac 0

Install Win 10 without Rebooting the machine (eg allows the user to reboot at night).
"{PackageShare}\Microsoft\Windows 10 v1903\setup.exe" /auto upgrade /quiet /noreboot /Compat IgnoreWarning

And we have one more package without the no reboot option when we want to force it to reboot once completed.

Can you please advise the improvements in completing this task via your means?

I have the following report and we are just doing a stagged roll out to staff as we are mostly laptops in remote sites via 4G connections.

Code:
Select Top 1000000 tblAssets.AssetID,
  tblAssets.AssetName,
  tblAssets.Version,
  tblAssets.Domain,
  tblAssetCustom.Location,
  tsysIPLocations.IPLocation,
  tblAssets.IPAddress,
  tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypename As Type,
  tblAssetCustom.Manufacturer,
  tblAssetCustom.Model,
  tblAssets.Lastseen,
  tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypeIcon10 As icon,
  Case
    When tblAssets.Version Like '1903%' Then '#d4f4be'
    Else '#ffadad'
  End As backgroundcolor
From tblAssets
  Left Outer Join tsysIPLocations On tblAssets.IPNumeric >=
    tsysIPLocations.StartIP And tblAssets.IPNumeric <= tsysIPLocations.EndIP
  Inner Join tsysAssetTypes On tblAssets.Assettype = tsysAssetTypes.AssetType
  Inner Join tblAssetCustom On tblAssets.AssetID = tblAssetCustom.AssetID
  Left Outer Join tsysOS On tblAssets.OScode = tsysOS.OScode
Where tblAssets.IPAddress Is Not Null And tblAssets.IPAddress != '' And
  tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypename = 'Windows' And tblAssetCustom.State = 1
Order By tblAssets.Version,
  tblAssets.IPNumeric

Okay I tried to do this Package but I had alot of trouble with it. Is there any possible way someone could write up a step by step on this? I mean it creates a folder in this script but doesnt say what files are in those Folders. Also where I can find the ESD File and the upgrade Executable? Like maybe send a direct link because I did a Google Search and had no luck, And Can someone Explain why this package has the Installer run 3 Times? Thanks in Advance Angel

Hi Steven,

Looking at the upgrade package, from what I can see is it's running it once to download the files etc. Once to install and not sure on the last step.

It looks over complicated for what I need it for which is to just update a machine to Windows 10.

In my case I just grab the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. Download the ISO and extract the contents to a folder then call the setup.exe with the below.

cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -standby-timeout-ac 0

Install Win 10 without Rebooting the machine (eg allows the user to reboot at night, if you want the machine to reboot remove the /noreboot switch).
"{PackageShare}\Microsoft\Windows 10 v1903\setup.exe" /auto upgrade /quiet /noreboot /Compat IgnoreWarning

Download the latest Windows 10 Media Creation tool, that will allow you to download the 1909 files.

Thank you for this package. Just a basic question:

Will this deployment package work after having WindowsUpdate.exe or I have to modify something else on it. In addition, how does it bypass McAfee Encryption as per it is on the package? I would like to know a bit more as I don't see any installation in the Task manager too. Shall I simply wait 2 hours after pushing from portal.

I have done it like you said to do a WIndows UPgrade.
I changed the version to 1909.

Everything goes well, and he gives me a Stop (Succes) on step 12.

The flag is in the Registry on reboot Pendig, but then nothing happens.
I restarted the PC twice, butt still nothing happens.

What do i have to do next?

Hello, I have tried this method to upgrade from 1903 to 2004, but it didn't work. Did anyone try to upgrade to 2004 yet?

Sorry, haven't tested it yet as we are not deploying 2004 until its a little more tested.
