WSUS Offline Update: creating .iso images with updates for MS products
Hello, Habrasoobschestvo!
I would like to share with you accidentally a program that was discovered thanks to one of the foreign forums, which allows you to create .iso images with a set of all official updates for such MS products as:
Windows Server 2003
Windows XP / Server 2003 x64 editions
Windows Vista / Server 2008
Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2
Office 2003
Office 2007
As you can see from the screenshots, WSUS Offline Update allows you to include .NET Wramework in updates.
If we put daws in the program as shown on my screenshots, then at the output we will get what we need, namely the following images in the \ iso folder:
wsusoffline-o2k7-enu.iso - 451 MB
wsusoffline-o2k7-eng.iso - 455 MB
wsusoffline-w60.iso - 1.66 GB
wsusoffline-w60-x64.iso - 2.49 GB
wsusoffline-w61.iso - 70.6 MB
wsusoffline-w61-x64.iso - 100 MB
wsusoffline-wxp-enu.iso - 1.21 GB
wsusoffline-wxp-eng.iso - 1.17 GB
Total in the process of work, the program will download 6.76 GB, create images for 7.60 GB (if you tick the "per selected language, 'x86 / x64-cross-ptoduct' (DVDs)" instead of "per selected product and language (CD / DVD) "), then the images will be less, but in total they will weigh more than 10 gigabytes!
So, after the utility completes its work - creating the above images - you simply mount the desired isoshnik in any virtual drive (I really like Alcohol 52% Free Edition - www.free-downloads.net/downloads/Alcohol_52__Free_Edition - for example, but here's someone more like it), you get such a painfully simple and convenient interface for working with the program:
I took the screenshot from the newly updated Vista - therefore it is not quite representative - better see the official screenshots: www.wsusoffline.net/docs .
As soon as you press the “Start” button, the terminal will open and the first pack of updates will start to be installed (this can also be seen on the official screenshots). Then you need to reboot and install everything else.
')
Important notes on using the program:
- Before starting the update download utility, disable UAC, otherwise you will have to click OK several times while it is working - automate the process to the tail of it)))
- Make sure you have at least 14.3 GB free on your hard drive (in case, again, if you set the same checkboxes as me)
- The program does not correctly install SP2 on o2k7-rus (I won’t say anything about o2k7-enu - I haven’t ever updated it to SP2 using WSUS Offline Update) - so download and run office2007sp2-kb953195-fullfile-ru-ru separately before will mount wsusoffline-o2k7-rus.iso
“Although the“ Update Windows Media Player ”is written in the above screenshot, in fact it means“ Install the latest Windows Media Player ”. I warn you because by default this checkbox is checked - and therefore you will install WMP even on Windows XP Professional N.
- Stable Internet is desirable - I think it is obvious.
- The program has a weak ExcludeList - after the second reboot, go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com through the explorer and install everything you need (these are a few tens of meters of updates, but less than a hundred)
- Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications is included in ExcludeList.
Good luck to your system administration!
