Pappalardo I also use a lot WSUSOffline for Windows patches, DotNet, InternetExplorer 8, Office patches and co. In order to not duplicate storage of patches, I've simply removed the updates patches provided by Unattended. "It's working fine for me" ;-) See my scripts below. Integrate WSUSOffline into Unattended code could be possible. But it also means to be abble to call the update of WSUSOffline from the usual scripts dedicated to this task in Unattended ... my Unattended base.bat script looks like this: (sorry, I have some text wrap troubles these days with TB) ------- base.bat ----------------------------------------------- :: MASTER: OS only with patches, tiny customisations :: :: 20110117 - rewrite: use WSUSOffline for OS patches, IE8 installation, DOTnet 3.5 installation. @Echo off SET LOC=\\server\a_share SET DOM=myDOMAIN SET USER=aUSER :: REMINDER - todo.pl is a stack in reverse order. :: disable System Restore todo.pl "srconfig.pl --disable" :: Set Automatic Updates to download and update automatically (SP2 behavior) todo.pl "auconfig.pl --day 0 --time 3 --wait 10 4" :: microsoft patches from WSUSoffline todo.pl ".reboot-on 195 PUSHD %LOC%\system\wsus-offline & custom.cmd /silent" :: hardware platform support (bluetooth stack for instance) :: reminder: more and more requires DotNET todo.pl .reboot todo.pl "PUSHD %LOC%\hardware & custom.cmd /silent" :: Install DotNet 3.5 todo.pl ".reboot-on 195 PUSHD %LOC%\system\wsus-offline\files\client\cmd & CMD /C DoUpdate.cmd /nobackup /instdotnet35" :: Defragment the drive to collect the free space. :: *** FIXME disabled for tests *** ::todo.pl defrag.bat :: Update windows and turn off annoying stuff. todo.pl .reboot todo.pl winxpsp3-Mine-defaults.pl :: Install IE8 then patch it todo.pl ".reboot-on 195 PUSHD %LOC%\system\wsus-offline & custom.cmd /silent" todo.pl ".reboot-on 195 PUSHD %LOC%\system\wsus-offline\files\client\cmd & CMD /C DoUpdate.cmd /nobackup /instie8" :: Windows patches via WSUSoffline :: - wsus-offline/ is a symlink to pkg/system/wsus-offline/ :: - called 2 times since some patches may require a reboot. todo.pl ".reboot-on 195 PUSHD %LOC%\system\wsus-offline & custom.cmd /silent" todo.pl ".reboot-on 195 PUSHD %LOC%\system\wsus-offline & custom.cmd /silent" :: Windows2003: install R2 components before setting user's profile :: (as it was launched in [GuiRunOnce] section of unattend.txt) if "%WINVER%" == "ws2k3sp2" todo.pl "CMD /C %LOC%\system\ws2003-install-r2\custom.cmd /silent" :: UNC path have to be mounted to get a prompt :: if user/password does not match. todo.pl "NET USE %LOC% /user:%DOM%\%USER% /persistent:no" :: Set IIS startup type to manual and ignore if not installed. :: reminder: IIS is not installed (disabled in unattend.txt) ::todo.pl ".ignore-err 255 startup-type.pl Manual IISADMIN" ".ignore-err 255 startup-type.pl Manual W3SVC" :: Turn off Windows Messenger service todo.pl "startup-type.pl Disabled Messenger" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- wsus-offline/custom.cmd ------------------------------- REM mount a temporary network share if called from an UNC path PUSHD %0\..
