How to deploy Windows 10 feature packs using Patch management?

As you know, Microsoft's Windows 10 version updates are released as feature packs. Deploying few feature packs are tricky as dependency files (ISO files) are required. For successful deployment, we recommend downloading the respective dependency file (ISO file) from the vendor's site and place it in our Patch store prior deployment.
Before deployment, run through the Compatibility Check available under the Important Notes section to find if you meet all the minimum requirements that impact upgradeability. This document will provide you with the steps to manage Windows 10 version 1709 fall creator update using Endpoint Central's Patch Management.

Note: You can deploy Windows 10 feature packs with Endpoint Central only if you are using build version 10.0.147 or above.

If you're using Endpoint Central Build version 100319 and above of enterprise edition and Endpoint Central Build version 100318 and below of other editions, follow the steps given below

To deploy Windows 10 feature pack, follow the below steps.

1. Add the dependency patch (ISO file) to the Patch store.
2. Deploy the feature pack as configuration.

To add ISO file to the patch store

Follow the steps given below to add the respective ISO file to the patch store:

1. Download Windows 10 ISO file from Volume Licensing Service Center or from here.
2. For Professional Edition: Rename 32-bit ISO file as 104978-Win10_1709_enx32.iso (Ensure file is saved with extension .iso).
3. Rename 64-bit ISO file as 104980-Win10_1709_enx64 (Ensure file is saved with extension .iso).
4. For Enterprise Edition:  Rename 32-bit ISO file as 106464-Win10_1709_en_enterprisex32.iso (Ensure file is saved with extension .iso).
5. Rename 64-bit ISO file as 106462-Win10_1709_en_enterprisex64.iso
6. Endpoint Central supports the deployment of feature packs for multiple languages. Click here to view the ISO setup file for the language of your choice.
7. Navigate to patch store location and place the renamed files.

Note - To deploy Win 10 feature packs in more than one language, check the respective ISO files for each language, download and place them in the patch store.

To find patch store location: Navigate to Patch Management -> Downloaded Patches -> Settings.

To deploy the feature pack

1. Create a configuration
   
   • After following the above steps, you can create a configuration from the missing patches and deploy it. The details of the Patch IDs are given as follows:
     Patch IDs for Enterprise edition
     • For 32-bit : 106465
     • For 64-bit : 106463
     Patch IDs for other editions
     • For 32-bit : 104979
     • For 64-bit : 104981
   • If the configuration that you created before following the above steps failed, make sure to repeat the same and redeploy the configuration.
2. Automated Patch Deployment(APD):
   
   • To create an APD task for deploying feature packs, make sure to select the feature pack check box while defining the patch task.
   • Once the dependency patch is downloaded and stored in the Patch Store, "Feature Packs" will be successfully deployed to the target computers during the subsequent deployment window. A separate configuration can be created for the particular patch on demand.
