UPdating Security Patches

I have to lockdown a laptop without connecting to the internet. I have 100+ updates/patches/KB fixes and .reg (registry file .exe) that need run against the client. How can I automate this without connecting to the internet? I suggest a client running WSUS and connecting the computers directly, then updating with WSUS?

Is it possible to run updates via a script? One after another?

Use WSUS Offline Updater....It allows you to download all updates and then burn them to a cd/dvd then the cd is fully automated to install all the necessary updates.

You can configure it to download from either microsoft or from your WSUS server.

I cannot put the machine online, the solution must be an offline source....

WSUS offline was used. however, I found out later that it may violate security policy to use a third party updater. The preferred choice is Microsoft offline updater. Having said that, I have tried it and it is not the best documented procedure.

I accept this solution for now.
