I created a script that used Microsoft's instructions to automatically
slipstream the hotfixes into the setup files so that the machine is set
up automatically patched.

Subject: [THIN] Script To Install All Post SP Hotfixes?

  Speaking of installing all the hotfixes.....every time I build an XP
Pro
machine (or any other for that matter), I have to install the latest
service
pack and then download all the critical updates, which can often take a
long
time, as I live in a technological third world called New Zealand. Even
if
the customer does have the speed, they pay by the megabyte, so if you've
got
a bunch of machines, it's more economical if you can download the files
once
and install to all the new machines.
  How does everyone apply critical updates after installing an OS? I've
looked at SUS, but I didn't see a way to install on demand. My next
thought
was downloading all the patches individually and using a script/qchain.
Anyone doing this? Thanks.
