SCCM 2211 Release Date

Microsoft released the SCCM 2211 update on December 6, 2022. The 2211 version of Configuration Manager is not a baseline version. If you need the baseline version, you can download the SCCM 2203 baseline version and then upgrade to the ConfigMgr 2211 version.

The ConfigMgr version 2211 update will be available only on sites running SCCM 2107 or later. Or, to put it another way, you can only upgrade to ConfigMgr 2211 if you are using version 2107 or higher.

Important: If you are using an older version of ConfigMgr, such as SCCM 2012 or SCCM 2012 R2, you cannot upgrade to SCCM version 2211. You must first upgrade to the current branch version if you are still using an older version of Configuration Manager.

SCCM 2211 Upgrade Checklist and Prerequisites

Please read the SCCM upgrade checklist and prerequisites before you upgrade to version 2211.


  • A console update, version 2211, is accessible for Configuration Manager’s active branch.
  • To install the Configuration Manager 2211 update on your sites, ensure you have installed SCCM version 2107 or later.
  • If you’re running a multi-tier hierarchy, start upgrading to 2211 from the top-level site in the hierarchy. You should upgrade the CAS first, then upgrade the primary sites, and then you can start upgrading each secondary site. Complete the 2211 upgrade of each site before you begin to upgrade the next site.
  • Before you download and install the ConfigMgr 2211 update from the console, ensure you are running a supported Operating System and SQL Server version.
  • If you’re running a SCCM version older than version 1910, check the SCCM In-place upgrade paths for proper upgrade paths.
  • If there is a pending restart for the server, reboot the server and then initiate the installation of upgrade of version 2211. The pending reboots are usually observed when the Windows updates are installed, but the server isn’t rebooted.
  • The Configuration Manager server should have an online service connection point before you initiate the upgrade.

Support for Windows ADK in SCCM 2211

SCCM 2211 supports the latest versions of Windows 10 ADK and Windows 11 ADK. If you are using an older version of Windows ADK, you can uninstall it and install the most recent version. Use the following guide to upgrade ADK on SCCM server.

For Windows 10, you can install Windows ADK for Windows 10 version 2004 and this will work with Configuration Manager 2211. There is no Windows ADK released for Windows 10 version 22H2.

Starting with SCCM 2203, you can deploy and fully manage Windows 11. Configuration Manager 2211 also supports Windows 11, meaning you can deploy and manage it. You can also install Windows 11 ADK for Windows 11 operating systems.

If you have installed an older version of ADK and will be upgrading your Windows 10 to newer versions like Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 10 21H2, you must upgrade your ADK on the SCCM server. Use the following guide to update ADK on SCCM server.

Should I Install Previous ConfigMgr Hotfixes?

The Microsoft ConfigMgr product team has put out several hotfixes for Configuration Manager 2207 and later. Roll-ups and out-of-band updates that were released to address the issues in order of priority were also included in some of them.

You can immediately install Configuration Manager 2211 update if you have not installed any hotfixes previously or if you have forgotten to install any hotfixes. When you upgrade to ConfigMgr 2211, you get all the hotfixes and out-of-band updates that were released before.

In conclusion, the answer to the question of whether you should install each hotfix for ConfigMgr 2207 before upgrading to version 2211 is NO. If you come across any hotfixes while updating to version 2207, you can skip them and install the 2211 update instead.
