FortyMegabytes We have Windows 10 virtual desktops registered in our SCCM environment, v1906, however they report the OS as Microsoft Windows NT Server 10.0. The Windows 10 updates arent applying, im guessing because they are being detected as a Server OS's. Should the VDI's be able to be patched through SCCM? Thanks

Hi tobeadvised. Currently, We are having the same issue with SCCM. Were you able to find the technical issue related to patching WVD VMs via SCCM?

      luzmariae,

       

      For WVD VMs patching, make sure on your ConfigMgr SUP (Software Update Point), "Products" tab, you select "Windows Server, version 1903 and later" checkbox.  Deploy all server related patches to your WVD VMs.

      Also, for software distribution to be successful on WVD VMs, within your application properties, deployment types, "Requirements" tab, make sure there is no O.S requirements.  If so, delete it.

    HiIrfan Fakih I think we found that the server patches were applicable to the Windows 10 VDI's instead of the Windows 10 client patches.

      tobeadvised,

      Correct, this is because SCCM Client running on WVD VDI's is reporting each Windows10 Guest VM as Windows Server O.S.   WVD used the Windows10 version image which is selected from Azure market/gallery which is based on OperatingSystemSKU=175.  Microsoft is aware of this.  So, when you create ConfigMgr Collection for WVD VMs, make sure the limiting collection is set to "All Systems" and not "All Workstations".  This way, you can create a collection for WVD VMs.
