Windows 7 Updates Issues!!!

[Athlona]

Hi,

 

Its that time of year again when we all have to create/update builds for your Domain Networks Last year 2015 I updated a Windows 7 32bit image and when I tested it deployed out I Noticed 180 Windows updates downloading and installing! When I created the image back in 2015 I always reboot and check again and "There are no updates available for your computer". And now I am trying again and it has only found 65 updates installed them fine but I bet if I get it added to the Domain it will continue to find more Windows Updates!!! One thing I did notice there were no Office 2013 update in the 65! Which rings Alarm Bells!!! Also last year I noticed the Good One "You May be a victim of software counterfeiting box came up" Which I can't rearm the Windows or Office Licenses as I need to retain my Activation Count 3. Please can anyone advise/help? Many Thanks in Advance. Paul

Do you have it setup to pull "additional product" updates, else Office wouldn't pull down from online. (assuming you're not using WSUS in this update?)

Hi Steve, We do have a WSUS Server but the images are updated off the Domain. Our WSUS Server is setup for Windows7 & Office 2013/16 updates though!

If they're off the domain it'll go to the internet site, which by default doesn't include "additional products" there should be an option below the normal updates saying something like search for additional software (or settings)

dont you have to download microsoft update (its been a while) alternatively just reg hack/gpedit it to use your domains wsus server its probably going to be quicker you can always when the main updates are done check online for any youve missed

I can't see any option for additional software anywhere!

i think if you have the counterfeiting message you only get security updates

If I do a re-arm won't it count as one of my activation counts?

yes thats why i sue vms and just roll back after a rearm. your other option is feed it a mak key which will get stripped on sysprepping

Sted I update these Images using a Virtual Machine but when you say roll Back do you mean from a Snapshot or do you mean from within Windows System restore? If so doing a either wouldn't that remove any changes/updates installed? Edited June 16, 2016 by Athlona

snapshot i sysprep it once then snapshot it so that next time it boots up its got as much time as possible before it complains.
