Updating Windows XP SP2, from a program that uses CDs?

[Punkrulz]

Hey guys,

I tried to put the best amount of information in the subject. Lately I've been getting frustrated because of the amount of computers I have been reformatting, installing Windows XP w/ SP2 on them, and then attempting to update them. Sometimes, doing the Windows update (or if Office is installed, Microsoft Update) will go smooth and seamless. Other times, it's a real pain to get Windows Update to finally download and install the updates. Let's not forget to mention more and more updates are released after this release of the Windows CD I have, so it obviously will take longer. There are also MDT's that we can't quite bring inside to update them via windows update.

Now I'm sitting next to a laptop, that was upgraded to Windows XP from Windows 2000 (not reformat + fresh install, an actual upgrade)... and the internet just does not seem to want to work for me. I am interested if there is anything out there, that I can use to hold all of the latest updates, and basically put that on a CD and install them. This will make things easier, I can just install windows, go to the CD, and bam install all of the updates right then and there. Is there anything that is free out there that can do that?

Also, SUS is not an option here, while that works for the desktops (not always), that's not what I'm looking for.

There is. It looks something like this:

I did this last fall for my company since Windows Update is generally a pain and it doesn't play nice with our firewall. Just adapt the script to match the updates you want to install, drop it in a directory with the updates, create an autorun.inf to run it and burn the disc.

There's also Offline Update (google for it), if you prefer.

Try the new autopatcher:

In announcements, go to first post in 'New version of Autopatcher updater. Download the apup 1.03 file, unzip and run it. set it to download what you want, but including Autopatcher. When all is downloaded, run autopatcher.

You can put the whole folder and subfolders on a flash drive, if you need to update several PCs.

Another vote for Autopatcher Updater. I have a cd of all updates up to Dec 07 which i have used to update tons of PCs with.
