How are timestamping these times? Are you lumping in the download of the content to the actual update installation? If so, then I'd say your issue if with bandwidth. A fully updated Office 2013 source directory as you've described will contain around 1.5 GB of updates in the form of the MSPs.

I've downloaded all applicable updates via the WH_Downloader tool and added them to the updates folder. Office installs within minutes but the subsequent updates take over an hour. Is this the norm for others who are deploying Office 2013? Approx 1.5-2hour install times? Is there an easier way to slipstream the updates? Thanks! Craig Griffin Lead Systems Administrator
