Speeding up updates on fresh install?
Long time no ask for help, derp.
But a man learns while he lives, so to speak, so:
Recently I started working on servicing people's PCs. I have a few partners that handle the hardware, and I handle the software. At times there are more PCs than I'd like, all requiring me to clean install Windows 7 with slipstreamed SP1 (all editions, both x86 and x64), install all the updates and proceed to tweak the system with software.
But this takes a hell of a long time, sometimes it's hellish because the PC might be old but installing XP isn't the solution. So my question is how can I speed up the process of downloading and installing all updates from WU, as there are about 200 of them at least?
I was thinking about ghosting installations but that requires me to have every single edition in every single flavor, both 32bit and 64bit - I also don't like installing all those updates before installing required drivers, somehow WU always screws me over with generic drivers I swear I unchecked from WU but get installed anyway.
Basically, it would be awesome to have a "legal" solution to what XP had with Multipatcher lol
Any suggestions?
