Include the post service pack hotfix rollup for Win 7 SP1

[friday123]

Microsoft released a post-service pack hotfix rollup of 90 hotfixes called the Slow Boot Slow Login update. Please read more about it here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/a ... today.aspx

Would you consider incorporating this in WSUS Offline Update?
Perhaps an optional checkbox 'Include post service pack stability updates (Win7 SP1/ Win2008 R2 SP1)'

Thanks

Everyone could incorporate that update right now via the custom way (described in the FAQ).

Thank you I'll try that

Mmmmh, can't see the 90 hotfixes. On a freshly installed Win7 Prof 32Bit system the first windozeupdate run had 102 (+4optional) updates, after install it was reduced to 95+4. Not a lot but it may still be of use.

@Denniss: These are stability hotfixes and will be only partially covered by other WU fixes. Note that Rollup is not offered through WU/MU, only through their update catalog.

I did just that. It appears to have worked ok. I did find something questionable in the FAQ though. For adding an update in the static section it says
"This update will then be installed every time, even if it was already installed."

It seems like a waste to install the update every time even if it was already installed. Also, I just tested this on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 x64 virtual machine and I don't notice that behavior. The update is installed once and if I run WOU again it isn't reinstalled. That is the way I want it, but I'm hoping someone can shed some insight on that statement in the FAQ. Thanks

At this point, the FAQ seems to be outdated

Version 5.2 -- 20.03.09
...
- Statically defined updates will only be installed if not already present
...

Alright. Well here are the commands I came up with after reading the FAQ. They seem to work very well.

Code: Select all

echo http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/updt/2013/03/windows6.1-kb2775511-v2-x86_f298cf30fae9f581550d783ac9ad57fcbc7f7587.msu>>static\StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x86-glb.txt

echo KB2775511>>client\static\StaticUpdateIds-w61-x64.txt

^^ This site's code block is broken, it wraps around rather than extending the line in a code box with a horizontal scrollbar. Basically each line starts with the word echo, any line that doesn't start with that is a continuation of the previous line.

So as far as I can tell, every time I need to upgrade WSUS Offline Update, what I'll have to do is unzip the new version over the old version and then run the commands above to add KB2775511.

It's better to use the corresponding custom directories for own changes, because these are not influenced by an update of WSUSOU.

So you have to run the above commands only once.

I don't understand. What should I do so I only have to run the above commands once?
