We are investigating adding support for WimBoot to a future release. This media should be available on or about 14 April 2014.Ī Windows 8.1 Update OS image (refresh media or offline serviced) can be applied with the deployment tools natively present in Windows PE 5.0.Ĭonfiguration Manager does not support the new WimBoot functionality at this time. We recommend using the latest full installation source (also known as “slipstreamed” or “refresh” media) for Windows 8.1 Update from the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) as the starting point for your OS deployments. Windows PE 5.0 can be used to deploy Windows 8.1 Update images. Your existing Windows PE 5.0 boot images do not need to be updated after upgrading the Windows ADK. There are some bug fixes to the User State Migration Tool (USMT) in this revision, so the USMT package should be updated. If you do upgrade, you don’t have to uninstall the previous version first running the ADK setup will update the existing components of the ADK installation.Īfter upgrading the ADK to the latest version, here are a few general items of note for Configuration Manager: You can continue to use an existing version of the Windows 8.1 ADK or the Windows 8.1 Update revision to service and deploy all Windows 8.1 (including Windows 8.1 Update), Windows 8, and Windows 7 images. We recommend all customers of System Center 2012 Configuration Manager upgrade to the latest ADK, If you are also using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) see this (Do not install the Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 on System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 site servers.). This post applies to customers using System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, or customers using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 that have installed the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 8.1 on a standalone system in order to acquire the Windows PE 5.0 boot image or the USMT 6.3 package.
