Add optional updates to MDT
Since Henk is the MDT guy on this blog he got me interested enough to give it a try. For testing purposes i use and break a lot of virtual machines so using MDT + WDS to recreate them wasn’t such a bad idea. Out of the box you can give your task sequence the option to run windows update post-setup: But then it will run every time
. As you all know you can add your own applications as optional packages so you can select them pre-installation. This got me thinking: Let’s add windows update as optional package and use the framework that’s already available for this.
Howto:
- Add a new application
- Standard application
- Quiet installation command
- cscript.exe "%SCRIPTROOT%\ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf"
- Quiet installation command
That’s it
