Windows Deployment Services - Copying Files
hello all.
i working setup windows deployment solution in our department. requirements functionality below.
-one image each os version
-windows 7 x64
-windows 7 x86
-windows xp x86 sp3
-windows server 2008 r2 x64
-injected boot critical drivers , date driver store computer models
-self-updating images using dism add packages each image
i using wds server hold images in conjunction wsus server maintain updates. of objectives have been completed, unhappy way maintaining updates apply each image. currently, i am using a (self-made.. probaly not using best methods) batch file copy updates wsus server wds server. folder structure copies on wsus server has many subfolders of updates inside of them. /add-package command included in dism not let me add packages in different subfolders , did not see way around this. wrote additional commands take of updates out of subfolders , delete empty subfolders. solution working, each time hit wsus server copy on new updates copies on entire folder structure , of updates again.
tl;dr: batch file copy updates 1 server listed below; looking way copy contents of many subfolders 1 parent folder.
net use r: /delete
net use r: \\server\mywsus
robocopy "r:\wsuscontent" "d:\wds_servicing\updates" /e
/r "d:\wds_servicing\updates" %%g in (*) move "%%g" "d:\wds_servicing\updates"
cd "d:\wds_servicing\updates"
/f "usebackq" %%d in (`"dir /ad/b/s | sort /r"`) rd "%%d"
thanks help.

hi,
as know different kinds of os , versions, need different kinds of updates. don’t think have method deal scenario. speaking, there 2 methods inject updates images:
1. wsus offline tool;
2. windows automated installation kit;
for details, there similar thread reference:

based on current situation, in opinion, there 2 options you:
option1:
======
if updates need installed after installing os, use wsus distribute updates clients. of course, configure automatic updates using group policy.
option 2:
======
if keep os image up-to-date, have capture latest image upload wds server. frequency depends on requirement, monthly, quarterly, yearly etc.
