Hello and thanks for a wonderful package of ease for system
administration!
I'm at a new client to which I want to show the magic of unattended
installations compared to ghosting, and it's working pretty well.
However, the "apply patches and updates" procedure takes a fair amount
of time, 1+ hour because of all the reboots.
But as far as I can recall, the WindowsUpdate tool doesn't require that
many reboots (or even that many patches?).
I'm going to check how WindowsUpdate performs the updates and mimic that
way (probably use .ignore-err on some updates) to minimize the time
needed for re-install but I would love to see this go upstream as well
in cvs.
Would that be a possible change?
I have set *all* of our hotfixes to .ignore-err. Everything installs
smoothly, and in about 20 minutes. There was a perl script someone
wrote that was floating around here somewhere that'll can set that for
you after each update.
