I'm trying to enable the Automatic Client Upgrade for our SCCM 2012 SP1 server and the option is grayed out.  The problem I have is that we hired an outside company to do the initial set up of this and the persons account has since been deleted so I can't log in under his account and turn this feature on.  Does anyone know how I can get this feature turned on, or some sort of work around?

See http://blog.coretech.dk/kea/automatic-client-upgrade-greyed-out/

Like I said in my original post, the account that set up the server was deleted after the project was completed (90 days later) last year.  So that isn't an option for me.

Hi,

Do you have the permissions mentioned in the blog post above? is the security scope correct?

I tried, but I don't have that security scope as an option.  When I click on Add I just have a blank list making me think that I already have all of them.   My Account is listed as a Full Administrator, the Security Scopes I have listed for me are Default and Manager.

You should contact Microsoft CSS as to my knowledge there is no documented way to recover the permissions.

Log into the site server (primary) with the account you installed SCCM with. More than likey your sccmadmin (service account) and then you can change the upgrade settings. I tried with my account (full admin) security scope. When I logged in with the account I installed it with I was able to configure these settings.
