System Center Configuration Manager Technical Preview Update 1611.
There is known issues in this release:
When you install version 1611, the overall status for prerequisites might show as passed with warnings but does not list which prerequisites caused the warnings. This can be caused by the following two prerequisites:
- SQL Index Create Memory options
- Checks for supported SQL Server version
But, they can be ignored.
New features
Pre-cache content for available deployments and task sequences
You can choose to use the pre-cache feature to have clients download only relevant content before a user installs the content.
The pre-cache content feature gives you the option to allow the client to only download the applicable content as soon as it receives the deployment. Portanto, when the user clicks Instalar in Software Center, the content is ready and the installation starts quickly because the content is on the local hard drive.
User experience
- When the client receives the deployment policy, it will start to pre-cache the content. This includes all referenced content (any other package types) and only the operating system upgrade package that matches the client based on the conditions that you set in the task sequence.
- When the deployment is made available to users, a notification displays to inform users about the new deployment and the deployment becomes visible in Software Center. The user can go to Software Center and click Instalar to start the installation.
- If the content is not fully pre-cached, then it will use the settings specified on the Deployment Options tab of the deployment. We recommend that there is sufficient time between when the deployment is created and the time in which the deployment becomes available to users to allow clients enough time to pre-cache the content.
