Microsoft just recently released it's version 2.0 of the Offline VIrtual
Machine Manager.
The Offline Virtual Machine Servicing Tool 2.0 helps organizations maintain
virtual machines that are stored offline in a Microsoft(R) System Center
Virtual Machine Manager library. While stored, virtual machines do not
receive operating system updates. The tool provides a way to keep offline
virtual machines up-to-date so that bringing a virtual machine online does
not introduce vulnerabilities into the organization's IT infrastructure.
The Offline Virtual Machine Servicing Tool combines the Windows Workflow
programming model with the Windows PowerShell™ interface to bring groups of
virtual machines online just long enough for them to receive updates from
either System Center Configuration Manager 2007 or Windows Server Update
Services. As soon as the virtual machines are up-to-date, the tool returns
them to the offline state in the Virtual Machine Manager library.
