Step 1. Download the correct Hotfix
In this example we'll be applying the following hotfix, KB2509007 (Task sequence that installs many updates stops responding on a System) and as always we need to get the hotfix from Microsoft here.
Note: In your scenario you may be applying another hotfix, if so change the references of the patch accordingly.
The following files are available, make sure to select the right one for your environment.
Uncompress the downloaded EXE file and place the SCCM2007-SP2-KB2509007-ENU.msi on your desktop. Copy the file to your SCCM site server.
Step 2. Install the hotfix on the Site Server
Close the Configuration Manager Console if it is open. Start an administrative command prompt by right clicking on it and choose Run as Administrator. Browse to where the file is copied and type the following
click next when prompted by the hotfix wizard
accept the license aggreement
click Install to begin installing the hotfix, after a few seconds it will appear to stall, move the wizard window to reveal a window behind asking about creating a package, focus that window, verify yes is selected and click Next
accept the default names for package/program
next we need to verify that the package source listed is correct, if you created a default package from definition as per these instructions then it'll be correct
next you'll get a chance to read the Applying Hotfixes to Configmgr clients readme
and finally the wizard is complete. Click Finish.
Verify that the hotfix installed by reviewing the logfile
Step 3. Update your Configmgr Client Package to the DP's
Locate your ConfigMgr Client Package and expand it, choose Distribution points and right click, choose Update Distribution Points
answer yes when prompted to copy the new hotfix files to your package on your distribution points.
Step 4. Add the patch command to your Setup Windows and Configmgr step
Open a previously made task sequence and locate the Setup Windows and Configmgr step, look at the Installation Properties, if you havnt added any patches (or other commands) previously it will appear blank
paste in the following:
note that the package ID (in green) is the package ID of your Configmgr Client package
Apply the changes
Step 5. Test the Changes by deploying an OS
do a test deploy of your task sequence, once the task sequence is complete, your Configuration Manager client properties should look like this
and on the Components tab the ConfigMgr Software Updates Agent should look as follows
Step 6. What about multiple Patches ?
If you are deploying multiple patches during OSD (and you probably will be...) then separate them with a semicolon ; like so
it appears that the order you place the patches is important, start with oldest first
