How to replicate updates from one windows 7 to another
Hello,
I have 2 office laptops (same hardware) running Windows 7 enterprise on both of them. One of the laptop (laptop-1) is being used every day so no issues with that. The other laptop (laptop-2) was used 7 months ago (connected to office via VPN) and not updated since 9 months or so. IF I try to connect to office VPN it gets immediately disconnected as it did not have latest updates (atleast that's what system administrator told me). I don't want it to be rebuilt from scratch.
1) Now How can I update laptop-2 without connecting VPN? (our office WSUS setup pushes automatic updates) by using laptop-1 updates, perhaps? (laptop-1 has up-to-date updates).
2) It also shows that no windows 7 license (as it was not connected to office network for last 6 months - KMS activation i guess). Is it possible to fix this without connecting office VPN? ( I don't want to use any cr-acking tool as its office laptop). OR If I update to latest and then connect to office VPN, the license automatically gets renewed?
Appreciate any help! thanks!!
EDIT: I don't think disk cloning (and then change hostname etc.) is NOT an option as both laptops are PGP disk encrypted...
