      WOW!

      I wonder why the need for this? To get users hounding their domain admins to upgrade them?

      I feel a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of IT admins everywhere cried out.

        Honestly, anyone who has not planned the migration by now needs to get hounded by the users though. There is almost no reason to avoid 10 in the vast majority of places.

          That said, I will still push out the registry changes at my clients because I do have a plan for deployment.

          All of my clients will be upgraded by the end of March unless something interferes.

            Because people haven't all upgraded yet. Only the slackers that are behind will get hounded. Those at all up to date won't see this. So it only exists where there is typically a need.

                Well my clients are not upgraded yet, but I have test installs in every client already verifying software compatibility (because old software is so common in SMB). So far none have been unable to be worked around. No it is just a matter of scheduling resources.

                  And reading the article, I see that this only affects non-WSUS systems.

                    How many companies have domain admins AND don't use WSUS/SCCM?

                    We can't upgrade because we have client software that doesn't work in Windows 10. I didn't know we were in the vast minority of places. But I don't particularly see a massive rush to migrate. Most of my users don't want to migrate though, and even if they did, I'm pretty immune to their hounding by now, anyway 🙂

                      The question is will it let the user's do the upgrade themselves? I would assume "NO" because of security... but...

                        A fair number in the SMB and climbing because of the move away from WSUS in small environments to peer to peer.

                          That would cause quite the disaster.

                            Yeah no because hopefully they don't have local admin rights!

                              I don't use WSUS in my environment. I spent more time managing it then I do from fixing bad updates from MS.

                                Same here. We don't use it, it's neither bandwidth practical for us nor has it proven to be the timesaver that you would hope. We deploy all the patches and almost never have issues. WSUS takes time and resources.

                                  @scottalanmiller The only time I think I would consider using it would be if I had a remote office that had a metered connection (satellite) or very low bandwidth available.

                                    Even then I would only do it exclusively in a company that sends a lot more email internally rather than externally and that would probably be a big company and that would likely mean that we just need to fix the Internet situation.

                                      I was still talking about WSUS.
