WINDOWS CRITICAL UPDATES

[tjabocom]

Hi,

I making an master image with an unattended script, in my net I have both wsus and sms 2003 to make updates to the clients...

well to my question, mainly I will use wsus to distribute hotfixes to the client. except if ther is an very critical hotfix that I would install during the unattended installation.

So I would like to get some tips if there is an very critical hotfix to windows XP pro sp2 (like sasser) that I would install during the unattended setup???

For me all hotfixes are criticals , I always make a Windows with SP pack only , and at the end of install it runs a batch on a server to install all hotfixes criticals (for me all available ...)

Goodbye.

Thanks Sonic,

I think you are right about that all hotfix is critical, but I use WSUS to get all hotfixes to all clients.

I use the unattended installation to create an master image that I will distribute with SMS OSD. to have all the hotfix in my master image meens that I have to change it every time a new hotfix comming, lots of work....

So I thought to get the most critical in the unattended installation..

Sure you can intergate Windows Installer 3.1 (v2), it's prior patch for future updates ...

About WSUS and Microsoft methods , I'm n00b ... I play only with batch for the moment ...

if you put them all on there now, it doesn't mean you have to update it for each computer you install it on, or when they put new patches out, it just means that your server doesn't have to send out patches that were already in existance when you made the CD
