Step 1. Do a Lite Touch installation of Windows Vista on a client, once done, update Windows using Windows Update (requires an internet connection), reboot when prompted and continue until all available updates are applied.
Step 2. Open up control panel and click on Programs and Features. In the left pane, click on View Installed Updates. In the right pane, you will see all the Security/hotfix and other updates that Windows update has applied to the computer, and now you must individually write down the KB (knowledgebase number) of each update, for example Update for Microsoft Windows (KB941649).
Step 3. Using google (or your favorite search engine) search online for the knowledgebase article number plus MSU. EG: google for KB941649 msu
You will get pages of hits, with one of the first 5 at least having the correct link to download the MSU file. We need to download the MSU file as that is required by BDD 2007. Clicking on the first link in our search results from google brings us to Microsofts download page for the KB941649 msu file (validation required).
Download the file and save it on your desktop.
Step 4. Copy the MSU file (Windows6.0-KB941649-v2-x86.msu) you saved in Step 3 to your BDD server, then open up the BSS 2007 DeploymentWorkbench and click on Distribution Share in the left pane, followed by OS Packages. Right-click on OS Packages and choose New, enter the location of your MSU file (preferable copy it to it's OWN folder eg:-
updates (folder containing subfolders with the KB numbers)
Click Add when ready and the msu file package will be added to your OS packages in BDD 2007
if you wish to verify this you can browse your distribution folder as listed below and you'll see that BDD has already created subfolders where the KB files now reside.
Directory of E:\Distribution\Packages

Step 5. repeat the process from Step 2 to Step 4 until there are no more Windows Updates (msu files) to download and add to your BDD server from the list of applied updates.
Step 6. Deploy Windows Vista to a client and once done open up control panel/Programs and Features and click on 'view installed updates'. You will see all the updates that you previously applied to your BDD 2007 OS Packages are now installed.
