Video explaining how it works!

Seriously…if you have a M$ product…THIS WORKS

P.S. It also works for older “legacy” cough XP cough distros as well!

Yep. I’ve used that successfully for quite a while on several machines (and virtual machines too)

Perfect!
It just happens that I have a fresh Win7 Laptop sitting here, waiting for updates!

Updating a Win7 X64 right now…202 updates fresh install on first reboot! Copied the WSUS directory to a pen drive (it was a 5.94GB folder)…took quite a while to download all the fixes initially…but now all I have to do is move it to wherever (even a network share) and run the executable from there!

What does it do for XP?

nice share .. it also have an option to specify local wsus server.. our wsus is at another location that connected via 50mbs .. so once i copy all files i will do it quickly on all pcs.

any statistics how long it takes to install them on windows 7 with sp1 freshly installed os. office 2013 is also installed. how long all updates takes to complete installation if all files are copied locally to system?

we have normal i3 sytems for most users with sata 3 magnetic conventional 7.2k rpm hdds.

Never used that, I always update one then ghost the rest
