To be compliant and allow Windows 10 Branching Updates to 1803, the SCCM console needs to be updated to the latest version, which is 1806. This is available as an in console update, providing that you are currently on one of the Current Branch Console Versions.
To see the support tree see the following link from Microsoft - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/plan-design/configs/support-for-windows-10
The current support timeline is as below
The first step in doing this is to update to ADK. If you do not do this prior then you will need to do this after the console update, which is a lot longer process. For details on how to do this then follow this guide from System Centre Dudes - https://www.systemcenterdudes.com/how-to-update-windows-adk-on-a-sccm-server/
1.) First of all you need to download the latest Windows 10 ADK from Microsoft here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install
2.) Remove the current installation of you ADK on your SCCM Server, which will require a reboot afterwards
3.) Run the ADK installer which was downloaded in step 1 above. Once you run the installer it is best to choose the second option which is to download the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit - Windows 10 for installation on a separate computer. This will take a fair bit of time as the full installer is several GB in size.
4.) The next step is to install the ADK on your SCCM server. Launch the adksetup.exe file in the directory where you saved the install to in step 3 above.
5.) The next few steps are pretty straight forward, just hit accept on the licencing agreement and no for the Microsoft reporting. After this you then need to select which features you want to install with the ADK. For me I only saw value in choosing the below options.
7.) You will now be ready to install the latest SCCM version. I prefer to run a Prerequisite check first from within the console. You do this by doing to Administration > Updates and Servicing and then selecting the most recent update and choose "Run Prerequisite Check"
8.) You can check the status of the Prerequisite check, which should take about 10 - 15 minutes to complete. If there are any errors it is best checking the log file which is located in c:\ConfigMgrPrereq.log. When I first ran this I had 2 issues, one being I didn't have enough disk space for the install (minimum 15GB required) and one of my site servers which were running the Fallback Role was still running Server 2008. I had to do an OS in place to fix this issue and expand the disk space of the C drive to allow the install to complete.
9.) The next step is to do the actual update. On the same Updates and Servicing screen choose the update which you just ran the Prerequisite check on and choose "Install Update Pack"
10.) To view the progress of the update go to Monitoring > Update and Servicing Status > Choose your update and then select Show status. This will bring up a monitoring screen where you can click refresh at the top to keep an eye on the update. When I did it the update took around 30 minutes to complete. Once it is done you should have all steps marked as completed.
11.) I also faced a problem where my Boot Images did not update automatically to the same version as the ADK. To fix this up I had to select the boot image and then choose Update Distribution Points with Boot Image. In here it gave me the option to Reload the boot image to the latest version - 10.0.17134.0.
