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:

title: windows update / hotfix injection windows 7 wim image deployment
url: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7itproinstall/thread/b9beedf4-337b-4ba3-90ab-7b8910404575/

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.

regards,
james

what difference between wuauclt1.exe , wuauclt.exe files ( under system32 folder ) ? in of cases, windows update service is not working client machines having these 2 files. even tried delete wuauclt1.exe, created automatically. what difference between wuauclt1.exe , wuauclt.exe files ( under system32 folder ) ? the wuauclt1.exe (and sister file wuaueng1.dll) components of legacy au agent shipped operating systems released prior 2005. (the wuagent v5.8 shipped wsus v2 in spring, 2005.) checking file version of file on windows xp system shows 5.4.3790.5512, dated 4/14/2008. additional quirk surrounds particular version -- comes installation of windows xp service pack 3. on windows server 2003 or windows 2000 system, may have earlier version number , date. lawrence garvin, m.s., mcitp:ea, mcdba, mcsa product manager, solarwinds microsoft mvp - software distribution (2005-2012) mvp profile: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/lawrence.garvin ...
