We do about that many updates and our software updates take about 1-2 hours. Check the logs and see where the delay is? Download time? Install time?

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.

If possible switch over to creating your reference image with MDT standalone. By the time you have that set up and working you would probably still be troubleshooting your ConfigMgr problem. ConfigMgr and Software Updates during OSD are a pain.

Question: how long does it take to complete the Install Software Updates step when creating a reference image for others? SCCM 2007 SP2 R2 W7 SP1 x86 with Office 2010 SP1 Just want to get an idea on how long it takes for others out in the field, just creating this quarters new ref image and had a few issues, mainly the install software updates step timing out, updates never downloading, if installing takes a considerable amount of time. None if these issues occurred last quarter. Issues and Solutions I found. Timing out possible due to 30min hard coded limit, adding a reboot after install software updates step 1 possible solution as per a KB I found. Updates never downloading, (downloading 1 of 134, stays at 0% forever) is resolved by KB2509007, but this is already installed, confirmed in log files and checking the version of dll it replaces so shouldn't happen. If gets to installing software updates, it takes around 8 hours just to do the install software updates step 1. Crazy I know. As I get the 8 hours to install updates, it's getting me my image so progressing but not sure why it takes so long. Anyone had similar symptoms in the past. Thanks all.
