compstuff Posted October 26, 2013 Author Posted October 26, 2013 I am going try this today... thanks- Mount your wim image with dism- Run KUC with params (listed above changing X:\path) poining to your mounted folder- Use it the same way you use it to scan a online install- Let KUC create packages.txt, scan it, download and create the necesary scripts- Use cmd scripts to copy, remove and/or add updates into the mounted image (/online will change to /image:<your_path> so when you execute them, the updates will be integrated vs installed on your current pc)Its the same as scanning your current image, only its scanning the mounted wim/vhd, more info in the FAQ Quote
compstuff Posted October 26, 2013 Author Posted October 26, 2013 @RicktendoAfter spending half the day or more experimenting with the new KUC method I realize this will be a bit more complicated than I thought and I have many questions and a bunch of errors. Since this is no longer just a question about the reboot issue I think I should ask any KUC questions in the proper KUC forum. If I continue with my original method I will use the poweroff.exe method for the 1st reboot since I can't figure out the error in the shutdown method. My thanks to everyone Quote
ricktendo Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Huh? this is straight as forward as scanning a online image, just dont go nuts on updating all components, only update those you use Quote
bphlpt Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 @compstuff, when you get a method that works for you, I would love to see you spell out in detail the steps you use to get there, since it seems the results you desire, ie agreement between KUC, McRip, and WU/MU, should be what we all desire. (With possibly a sysprep'd build for installation efficiency.) Cheers and Regards Quote

compstuff Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 I definitely agree that this seems to be the Holy Grail... The method I have been using actually works but its complicated and in my opinion is too difficult to maintain so I am now experimenting with a completely new method and will report back@compstuff, when you get a method that works for you, I would love to see you spell out in detail the steps you use to get there, since it seems the results you desire, ie agreement between KUC, McRip, and WU/MU, should be what we all desire.

compstuff Posted November 2, 2013 Author Posted November 2, 2013 @EtzThanks.. just got home from work and anxious to try my next round of tests with the info you all provided but I will wait until I am fresh in the AM. Quote
compstuff Posted November 2, 2013 Author Posted November 2, 2013 Thanks!!! I should have searched before I posted because that was exactly the issue and now all is fine again. Quote
compstuff Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) I wanted to provide a bit more of an update on this so here goes: I have completely modified my method of doing integration's and with everyone's help the method now works GREAT. Its even much quicker to do AND provides a finished product that is quicker to install... HOMERUN!!! I also expect that it will be easier to maintain which means a tremendous amount to me because frankly this had gotten so overwhelming that I was spending more time prepping and maintaining than I was producing a finished product. Basically I use KUC to integrate updates OFFLINE and then I use WinToolkit to integrate my SFX items, ONLINE only updates, reg settings, tweaks, scripts etc. The OFFLINE KUC takes 30 min for 297 Normal updates and 30 min for 186 LDR updates, I do need to run a 2nd additional update pass for KB2736782 but that takes 1 minute so it's negligible. I then have an image that's ready for my next items. My WinToolKIt step adds the following:MicrosoftFixit50470::/quiet /norestart;NO;638.00 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50470.msi;Always InstalledMicrosoftFixit50531::/quiet /norestart;NO;646.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50531.msi;Always InstalledMicrosoftFixit50688::/quiet /norestart;NO;655.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50688.msi;Always InstalledMicrosoftFixit50848_KB2665946::/quiet /norestart;NO;964.00 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50848_KB2665946.msi;Always InstalledMicrosoftFixit50877::/quiet /norestart;NO;1.00 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50877.msi;Always InstalledMicrosoftFixit50897::/quiet /norestart;NO;1.12 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50897.msi;Always InstalledMicrosoftFixit50907::/quiet /norestart;NO;961.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50907.msi;Always InstalledMicrosoftFixit50908::/quiet /norestart;NO;965.00 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50908.msi;Always InstalledMicrosoftFixit50939::/quiet /norestart;NO;1.03 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50939.msi;Always Installedrootsupd::/Q;NO;383.63 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\02-Roots\rootsupd.exe;Always Installedrvkroots::/Q;NO;160.16 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\02-Roots\rvkroots.exe;Always InstalledKels_Runtimes::;NO;6.24 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\03-KelsRuntime\Kels_Runtimes.EXE;Always InstalledVBCFJRedist_AIO_x86_x64::/y /norestart;NO;26.40 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\04-VisualC\VBCFJRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe;Always InstalledWindows6.1-KB2861191-x64::N/A (Not Needed);NO;314.14 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\05-DotNet\Windows6.1-KB2861191-x64.msu;Always InstalledWindows6.1-KB2861698-x64::N/A (Not Needed);NO;701.69 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\05-DotNet\Windows6.1-KB2861698-x64.msu;Always InstalledWindows6.1-KB2863240-x64::N/A (Not Needed);NO;472.76 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\05-DotNet\Windows6.1-KB2863240-x64.msu;Always InstalledWindows6.1-KB2889631-x64::N/A (Not Needed);NO;14.11 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\05-DotNet\Windows6.1-KB2889631-x64.msu;Always InstalleddotNetFx451::/y /norestart;NO;46.16 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\05-DotNet\dotNetFx451.exe;Always InstalledMSXML4-KB2758694-ENU::/quiet /norestart;NO;1.97 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\06-MSXML4\MSXML4-KB2758694-ENU.exe;Always Installedmbamv1updatex64::/quiet /norestart;NO;2.79 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\07-KB2724074-BitLocker\mbamv1updatex64.exe;Always InstalledMicrosoftCodecPack_amd64::/qb /norestart;NO;13.64 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\08-MS-CodecPack\MicrosoftCodecPack_amd64.msi;Always InstalledSilverlight_x64::/q /norestart;NO;15.14 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\10-Silverlight\Silverlight_x64.msi;Always Installedjava::-ai1;NO;28.49 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\11-Java\java.exe;Always InstalledFS_AiO_x64_full::;NO;44.49 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\12-Flash-Shockwave-AIO\FS_AiO_x64_full.exe;Always InstalledAdbeRdr::;NO;58.34 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\13-Acrobat\AdbeRdr.exe;Always InstalledKB890830-x64::/Q;NO;19.93 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\14-KB890830-MSRT\KB890830-x64.exe;Always Installedmbam-setup::/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART;NO;9.81 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\15-MBAM\mbam-setup.exe;Always InstalledMBAMfiles::;NO;179.00 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\15-MBAM\MBAMfiles.EXE;Always InstalledMBAM_Step2::;NO;97.79 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\15-MBAM\MBAM_Step2.exe;Always InstalledMSEInstallx64::/s /runwgacheck /o;NO;12.85 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\16-MSE\MSEInstallx64.exe;Always InstalledMSE_Step2::;NO;962.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\16-MSE\MSE_Step2.EXE;Always Installedcleanup::;NO;166.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\17-Cleanup\cleanup.EXE;Always InstalledFinish::;NO;166.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\18-Finish\Finish.EXE;Always Installed I run a few RunOnce scripts to perform the following: (with the exception of the office install these are very quick items that take only a few minutes) Remove_OLD-IE 3rd reboot Phase 2RunOnce_WU_KB2533552 4th reboot Phase 3RunOnce_WU_Update 5th reboot Phase 4RunOnce_RemoveOld 6th reboot Phase 5office_install 7th reboot Phase 6 I did try to test the finish script shutdown command one more time using the various methods discussed here and nothing worked except the poweroff.exe method so I am sticking with that.

ricktendo Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I can maybe help you with drivers, I can make you a personal driverpack for just your machines and I am pretty good at getting the latest If you can make me a hardware report with AIDA64 (TXT form, edit/remove your serial) and/or Save HWID's tool I can build it (PM me the results) Quote
bphlpt Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 OK, dumb question. (I'm sure I'll do a face palm when you tell me. ) What exactly are the Microsoft FixIt files, and where do you get them / how do you create them? For the drivers, assuming you need to deal with more than one computer, with possible different hardware involved, I would suggest using the DriverPack SAD2 script. Cheers and Regards Quote
ricktendo Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Fixit files are nothing but regtweaks (most of the time, sometimes they restrict a file with a security vulnerability until a update is released) it should suffice to scan for the changes and apply them using a REG file (rather than using an installer) You could probably even make yourself a wintk addon with these tweaks and save an extra step Quote
compstuff Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) No slap that's a very valid question and I think these are often overlooked. They are various MS fixes for specific items and released in .msi format. I can't actually pinpoint how I found them because it was over a period of time that I found them all but I did make a recent post about them and thanks to PointZero I learned that Komm actually maintains a repo of them. http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/30670-KUC-a-utility-to-check-you-Windows-7-2008-R2-WMS-or-Win-embedded-update-status/page50?p=832738&viewfull=1#post832738 http://www.windows-update-checker.com/hotfix/x64/Client%20and%20Server/Additions%20%28NON%20.msu%29/ ...and yes that's the method I am looking at now SAD3 @RicktendoThat's a neat idea I never thought of that OK, dumb question.
