> Run Windows Update FIRST! I would recommend that, before you run Windows Update, you either download appropriate patches from another machine or that you create an IP security policy to limit access to and from the machine to only the Windows Update site and your DNS server. This minimizes the likelihood that you'll be hit with anything between putting the server on a network and patching it fully.

This is a good idea, but I would recommend that you also look into scripting configuration tasks whenever you can.
