So... What you're asking for is WSUS ;)

It would be interesting to see wpkg modified to do the same thing, but
I'm not sure if it will work smoothly. You'd need someone to manually
edit the packages.xml with each update and place the KB files into the
right share. Could be done, but it would be a lot better with a tool to
automate it all, which is what WSUS does.

Speed isnt an issue here. The problem is that i want to be able to
install updates _after_ Office was already installed. So when new
updates come out i just add them and they'll automatically be installed.
And I'd like to keep the copied Office CDs as original as possible since
I wont be the one who is going to install all the unattended+wpkg stuff
on the servers. Those who are going to install everything are most of
the time not very skilled when it comes to computers. Telling them they
need to slipstream a bunch of updates just wont work.
