patchm00 Posted January 29, 2014 Report post Posted January 29, 2014 Hello, When we use flash drive with just the boot media and it connects to SCCM via the network, the Task Sequence which includes "Install Software Updates" works perfectly. However, when we use Create Task Sequence Media, the software updates do not run. I understand that part of software updates is the task running the process to check which updates it needs so perhaps it doesn't know which updates to include on the flash drive, but, why won't it connect over the network to run this task? I know the standalone is supposed to be "stand alone" however the join domain network task runs over the network as well as the activate Windows. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

patchm00 Posted January 29, 2014 Report post Posted January 29, 2014 Hello, You should use pre-staged media for this scenario Well, we do this when we have a large deployment and we can duplicate the prestaged hard drive to the new computer hard drives, but doing it for one computer a day for instance is not as feasiable in my opinion. Plus, the time and effort to update a prestaged media is much more than a stand alone flash drive for instance. Thanks for your input though!

Grudd Posted January 29, 2014 Report post Posted January 29, 2014 You could also build a reference image more often, including latest sw updates... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installing software updates. Installing software before an operating system deployment. Associating users with the destination computer to support user device affinity. Installing dependencies for applications that are specified as part of the task sequence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the only option is to update reference image often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
