• Why does it install SCCM 1606 instead of 1610?

• • o It is not supported, even though it’s possible, to do a full media installation of SCCM 1610.
  • o However, we do recommend that you immediately upgrade to 1610 from within the console.

• What are some known issues?
  • Command Support (F8) does not work on the boot image even though it’s checked.
    To fix this, uncheck and apply. Select not to update distribution points. Check the box again, click apply and update the DP.
  • ‘Use this boundary group for Site Assignment’ is not checked by default.

    This is solved in SCCM 1610 and will be upgraded automatically if you upgrade to SCCM 1610.
