Allow OS Upgrade and Custom Task Sequences to queue status messages during offline execution
When OS Upgrade and Custom task sequences are running offline (such as following a reboot while on VPN) all task sequence manager status messages are discarded. While this is expected in WindowsPE, it would be beneficial for troubleshooting/reporting if OS Upgrade and Custom task sequences would queue status messages locally just like Executive Manager does with software installation status.

Add me in this race as well. I have been one of the victims that facing such status message issues while Upgrade deployment over VPN or CMG.
We always look for alternatives to verify Build no. whether the upgrade completed or not. Microsoft should give priority and resolve this issue ASAP especially in this situation ie., we are working from HOME.

This gets my vote also. Seems rather silly to not cache the status messages indefinately (or at least be configurable) until VPN or CMG connectivity is restored.

I agree and can't understand why this is not already implemented by default. Loosing this upgrade feedback stucks the deployments in "In Progress" status forever.

This woud be great! If status filter rules are set on a particular ID (i.e. 11171) they will never being triggered because this message ID is not being sent to the server and therefore my custom scripts won't be executed.

Add me as another vote for this idea. With WFH scenarios so prevalent it would be nice to have a TS variable to control whether or not the queue status messages for later upload when system is able to reach the MP again.

Hello,
I had this idea today...because of the vpn interferes after reboot i created an IPU ts that has 70 hardware models drivers with query and a deployment of download when needed..in the end user will only have 2gb of drivers installed, after the drivers step i have a new option to copy all the necessary IPu files to local computer, after rebooting ts will continue to install 1909 regardless off VPN.
What donyou think? 😎? -

Would be very helpful for InPlace Upgrade TS, we have a high percentage of Deployments reporting as "In Progress", reason turned out to be VPN Scenario, wehre dring the "Upgrade Operating System" Step the reboot disconnects VPN. and after that all Status is lost.

Add me as another up vote for this one. Half of our work force is work from home. It's tough to get any accurate results when all our remote user are sitting as "In Progress" when doing feature updates using a task sequence. I have to rely on queries to see what machines have upgraded or failed.

This is a great idea! We're relying on OS upgrade task sequences to deploy Win10 feature updates to users with laptops in the field, and are currently losing all feedback from the update process. "Monitoring for free" was one of the key reasons based on which I was able to "sell" the idea of using upgrade task sequences to management (as opposed to just writing a script), so I'd say this is pretty important.
