Hotfixes in SCCM - 5/5/2008 4:11:52 PM

I'm new to using SCCM for deploying images and was wondering if there is an easy way to apply hotfixes in win xp sp2. I currently use a vbscript to run each hotfix that I downloaded to the reference machine. I would like an easier solution if there is one. I'm building everything in the console inside of SCCM and trying to do a zero touch capture image.

Thank you for your help.

Use the apply updates task sequence. You must have updates ready to be applied for this to work, but it works great. Another thing that I typically do is integrate most of the patches into the XP source files using the /integrate switch. I use Windows Update Downloader to download them all from Microsoft and then use a quick for loop to integrate them with my source files. The updates will then be installed during the installation of the OS and before the OS is actually available on the network (thus increasing security). If you do this, do not do any of IE7 patches, they seem to hose this process. The MSXML and Media player patches also cannot be integrated.

Hi Jason,
Do you have an example of how to do this "integrate most of the patches into the XP source files using the /integrate switch" or a good resource that would show me how to do this?

Thank you for your help.

/integrate:path Integrates the software updates into the Windows installation source files located at the path specified. Note that :path refers to the folder that contains the i386 folder.

This is what I pulled from M$.

I have a script that runs near the end of the TS (just before install Applications) that installs my updates via batch file, but I'll give this method a try as well and I'll let you know how it goes.

note: I will try this with WinXP SP3.

As Joel stated above, use the /integrate switch. So download the updates/patches (use Windows Updates Downloader or do it manually). Copy the XP Source files from a CD (preferably one with XP SP2 integrated, if XP2 isn't integrated, ten slipstream it in after you copy the source files: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp) to a local drive; e.g., C:\XP. Then run each patch with the /integrate switch: patchname.exe /integrate:"C:\XP". You can also put all the patches into one directory as WUD does dor you and run the integrate switch in a cmd shell for loop:

for %%f in (*.exe) do %%f /integrate:"C:\XP"

Note that you can do the same thing with an XP with SP3 integrated CD, but there any pateches for SP3 that I know of yet. To create a slipstreamed image of XP and SP3, use the same process as for XP SP2.
