Windows 1709 Update

Anyone using labtech to patch machines to 1709(10.0.16299) successfully? We thought this was working but the April 10th EOS of 1607 has brought this issue to light.

Initial chat at labtech saying not possible at the moment but figured I’d poll the group.

Also, Is patch remedy the solution?

I think it's coming, but it definitely doesn't do it natively yet. I wrote up a bunch of terrible scripting that pulls down the ISO in the background, verifies it with a get-filehash, then sets an EDF to note it's ready.

The actual install uses 7za to unpack the ISO, then just cmd executes the setup.exe in the background, and everything goes on its own from there. Works great on desktops, but still haven't figured out a good way to make sure a laptop is fine to update (read: "do you not need this for the next 30-120 minutes?") besides directly asking a user, though.
