Microsoft introduced new versioning concept for Windows 10– we now talk about release numbers like 1511 or 1607.
For more details please refer to this article: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-info.aspx
What you may not know is, that these release numbers are in YYMM format, which is:
- 1511 – Released in 2015 month 11 (=November)
- 1607 – Released in 2016 month 07 (=July)
SMP has only one default filter for Windows 10, which I do not see sufficient.
Taking information from above article, I have created couple new views that you may like, too.
XML file is attached, feel free importing that to your SMP console 7.6 or 8.0
Filter definiton was cloned from default one, and just one more condition has been added on last line:
- “AND id.[OS Build Number] = 10586 -- Release 1511”
Computer Details view on managed computer does not display such release version, that’s why Basic Inventory only contains version and build numbers but not that "release number".
You can verify exact release number by typing WINVER at command prompt:
Alternate option would be detecting and collecting release version via Custom Inventory, but that would also require custom data-class in database and Inventory Plug-in implementation on all machines.
That’s why I decided for using Basic Inventory, which is much easier to collect.
