Office 2013 updates "on the fly" during OSD? How??

[Vini]

Not having much luck in deploying Office 2013 updates during our TS run.

Our TS installs Windows 7, does a first pass of Updates using the inbuilt "Software Updates" step, it then installs applications. I want to apply the "updates" available in WSUS to the installed applications, so I have configured 3 further "update" passes in the TS, none of these pick up the Office 2013 updates.

The post-app-install command I'm using is;

WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm path sms_client CALL TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000113}" /NOINTERACTIVE

How do you ensure your OSD TS is fully updated during its run?

It's worth noting, that the TS joins the domain early on, so I assume it has our WSUS GPO active... Regardless, the Office updates I want, are approved by our WSUS server...

This has come up before, linking to the old thread. It's referring to a build and capture, but we've used this same thing enable Office updates during OSD - a Package conatining the VBS that runs as a step before the Install Updates step(s).

We install os and apps (including offices) then two passes of the software update steps seems to get office and windows updates installed just fine.

Just keep Updates folder in Office installation upto date & ALL updates will be installed during setup

Just name them in numerical order

 

Use ie. WHDownloader

 

Makes life so much easier...
