Slipstream Windows Update Files

[hansenjr]

Hi, I am able to use NLite to slipstream all windows updates except the actual latest version of Windows Update itself. Is there a way to slipstream the windows update files? When I perform a new set up and run windows update there are no critical updates but I have to update windows update on each new server I build.

Thanks

RyanVM's pack contains "Microsoft Update 5.8.0.2469". is this the update you have to make and are you using such thing as an update pack or are you entering each update separately ?

Not sure what Ryan pack is. When I setup a new server and go to windows update I am asked to update the windows update files. After I run the install, I can then get to the express and custom options.

Ryan is a nice guy who made (amongst other things, I'm sure he has a life ) a post SP2 update pack. That pack is available for download on his site (google it), is ~40meg, and is also slipstreamable via nLite (2nd step). This is sooo easy that you'd be foolish not to use it. As I wrote before, one of the updates included is called "Microsoft Update" and might be the one you don't include at first. Members are asked to not mix the posts about Ryan's pack problems and nLite's issues if possible, each having their own forum, own road and updates. Still one is welcome using the oter.

I don't think this will work since I am talking about 2003 server.

Thanks

There's a section on his forums with a couple different update packs for server 2003.

Thanks. I will try the Ryan pack. How do you add the pack to nlite?

Thanks
