Upgrade to MECM version 2203

Posted on 11/04/202211/04/2022 by Remy Kuster

Update 2203 for Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) is now available. In this post I will show all the steps you have to take to upgrade your current MECM installation. To install MECM 2203 as an update, you must have MECM version 2010 or later installed. If you check for updates in your console and the update is not available this post also shows how to get it using the early update ring script. I personally would not install the new version when it still is in the early ring on your production environment but it would be suited for a lab or test environment. When the new version is available in the production ring usually there is an hotfix available already so that would be a good version to install on your MECM production.

Software Center customization: Display custom tabs with Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime

In my post about the MECM 2103 upgrade I made a list of my top 5 new features of MECM version 2103. One of these new features is Improved user experience and security with Software Center custom tabs. You can now use the Microsoft Edge WebView2 browser control in MECM version 2103 and with this control more websites should work with custom tabs without displaying script errors or security warnings. We had a lot of script errors before when using custom tabs to websites, but now these errors should be gone. In this post I will show you how you can enable custom tabs with Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime.

Show specific scripts to MECM (SCCM) console users

A few days ago one of my colleagues asked me if we couldn’t let the IT helpdesk colleagues run scripts from the console by themselves. Great idea of course because a script can fix an issue and help a user really quick and the user will be helped a lot faster if the helpdesk employees can run the script(s) by themselves instead of having to call a colleague of a different IT team first who can run the scripts. But the console can have a lot of scripts, perhaps you don’t want the helpdesk to be able to run all the created scripts but only a selection of them. So in this post I will show you how to allow a specific script or scripts to be run by the helpdesk employees.
