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. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jeff Durbin Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 4:08 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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.
