Sysprep not respecting Windows Update -- workaround?


Recommended Posts

I've been able to reproduce this with some others working in other locations with differing "unattend.xml" files, but we haven't figure out if there's a workaround. Anybody have any thoughts on this:

Go to Windows Update.

Click the box that says "get updates for more products" and install the "Microsoft Update" add-on

Reboot (if you want) a couple of times -- you'll see that Windows Update now says:

You receive updates: For Windows and other products from Microsoft Update.

Now run Sysprep.

After rebooting and having the machine run through it's sysprep options....

Microsoft Update is no longer installed. Windows Update again has the box that says "get updates for more products". Which you can reinstall again.

But you shouldn't have to.

Any ideas how to workaround this? Some "reg add" setting for unattend.xml or something?

We're stumped on this one so far.

Thanks!

We have encountered this also. After Sysprep runs it removes Microsoft Update and it needs to be reinstalled. We have not tested the vbs solution yet, but would prefer something else if possible.

Steve,

Can you please provide a link to your TechNet post?
