After upgrading the servers, I tested upgrading a\u00a0pilot\u00a0group clients by using client push to make sure everything was ok before upgrading all clients. After verifying everything was working as expected, I enabled the \u201cAutomatic Client Upgrade\u201d feature following the steps below.<\/p>\n<p>First open the &#8220;System Center Configuration Manager Console&#8221; and Navigate to \u201cOverview\\Site Configuration\\Sites\u201d under \u201cAdministration\u201d. Right click \u201cSites\u201d and choose \u201cHierarchy Settings\u201d as shown below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pipe2text.com\/wp-content\/plugins..\/..\/uploads\/media\/enabling-the--automatic-client-upgrade-feature-in-systems-center-configuration-manager-2012\/image1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When the \u201cSite Setting Properties\u201d windows appears, choose the \u201cAutomatic Client Upgrade\u201d tab. Now check \u201cUpgrade client automatically when new client updates are available\u201d. You will be prompted with a warning explain that this option will install the latest client and prerequisites on all clients that are at or below the specified version as shown below. Click \u201cOK\u201d for this warning.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pipe2text.com\/wp-content\/plugins..\/..\/uploads\/media\/enabling-the--automatic-client-upgrade-feature-in-systems-center-configuration-manager-2012\/image2.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, choose the amount of days for when clients will execute the task to run the upgrades by setting a number for \u201cAutomatically Upgrade clients with days\u201d as shown below. In this example we are choosing 7 days. This way, each client will pick a date between 1 and 7 days to execute the task. This will stagger the upgrades over 7 days. When finished click \u201cApply\u201d and \u201cOK\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pipe2text.com\/wp-content\/plugins..\/..\/uploads\/media\/enabling-the--automatic-client-upgrade-feature-in-systems-center-configuration-manager-2012\/image3.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You are finished enabling the \u201cAutomatic Client Upgrade\u201d feature in SCCM 2012.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps.
