Thanks for responses so far. David - Sounds like a good plan, will look into it. Niall - yes we do have a SLP defined, although not using FQDN, the VM I use falls in with the subnet for dev enviroment in SCCM so that's ok.
The last 6 or 7 reference images have never had this issue with the updates, not sure why all of a sudden its started, the updates take around 8 hours to complete, download and install approx 130-150 updates. It works in the end but just takes forever.
