To work around this without all the gyrations that you went through, you can modify the 'Setup Windows and ConfigMgr' action to specify 'SMSSLP='.

In that case, the problem with the 'Install Software Updates' step in the task sequence is that it can't receive the WSUS settings via GPO (no domain to apply the GPO settings). I assume that since you are building a reference image that the computer is in a workgroup. This configuration is also in native mode but that shouldn't be keeping the updates from coming down if they are coming from WSUS as far as I can tell.ДЄnyway.good idea on the scripts.

I have WSUS integrated into SCCM as SUP's but using WSUS to auto install / approve updates per the customer request and SCCM is merely grabbing the status information from the WSUS servers and reporting it. Just curious where in your TS you are placing the Software Updates scripts - just disabling the one that is provided with MDT and putting yours in there?ДЄdditionally, I am using SUPs but not in the traditional sense. I have done this exact same type of script for patching servers in the past with great success but it was while they were online. If I run the same script after the machine is up and going it fires off the updates just fine. The server is getting set but no updates are coming down. I've added in a set script for the WSUS server (with command line) and then follow it with a install updates script as shown above. My question is where you are placing this in your TS. I've modified it to take a command line variable and am using SMSDP for site sensativity since I haveВ WSUS serversВ at different locations and I want to be able to use one TS.

I've snagged your code (and cited it in the scripts) to do patching during an OS task sequence. I am now just hoping that the issue I'm having is fixed in ConfigMgr R2 and it turns out to be the product I believed it was when I bought it. Something I do not believe ConfigMgr is capable of. At the moment my ConfigMgr OS deployment is a step back from my previous WDS server which I had automated to a 'zero touch' deployment system.

I would also be very interested to see if there is any way of forcing an update via some sort of 'run command line' task but I'm not going to hold my breath. All of these updates are targetted to the collection and get installed by the configmgr client at a later time. I can see from the lastВ scan in theВ WUAHandler.log file thatВ 16 updates are detected as 'missing', the scan completes successfully and then the program just seems to exit rather than download andВ install the missing updates. It also upgrades IE6 to IE7 but fails to apply any IE7 hotfixes.

It will then proceed to patch Office up to SP3 but not beyond. I'm also having problems with the install updates task.В So much so that I am now at the point where I do not believe it actually works properly.В I have installed a vanilla Windows XP from an install package, installed Office 2003 and run the 'install updates' task. Set Installer = UpdateSession.CreateUpdateInstaller() Set Downloader = UpdateSession.CreateUpdateDownloader() Set UpdatesToDownload = CreateObject('')ДЇor I = 0 to -1 Set SearchResult = UpdateSearcher.Search('IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software'')ДЇor I = 0 To -1 Set UpdateSearcher = UpdateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher() So I guess my questions are, How do I get my machines to automatically get into my software updates collection during the task sequence? And once they are in the collection, what determines whether updates are 'mandatory' for task sequences'ДЄlso, is there another way I can install sofware updates in a task sequence, like using a cmdlines.txt file or something similar?ДЄny help on this would be greatly appreciated. It's very odd seeing as the updates install automatically after 24 hours after PC is imaged. To complicate matters more, if I manually update the collection membership of our software updates collection when the task sequence reaches the 'install updates' step, the task sequence no longer times out but gives a 'No updates need to be installed on this machine.' message in the SMSTS.log. When imaging a PC, it creates a duplicate entry in the SCCM DB and that duplicate entry does not get put into the software updates collection until 24 hours later. I found that this is caused by the PC object not being a member of the collection where our software updates are advertised to. I found that when I image a machine, the tasksequnce item for installing mandatory updates would time out with the 'Timedout waiting for updates refresh complete notification' error in the SMSTS.log. I'm having an issue with getting mandatory updates to install during an OSD task sequence.
