Good point. I don't know if I can just deploy the ISO, and just just the Dec rollup, tho. It might want other patches first; it's hard to determine, without seeing the list of already applied patches.
Still, even if I just deploy the ISO, and point it at my own WSUS server, that will help a whole lot.
