You're sure to need more than just the Dec. rollup the first time, but as I said it should help.

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.
