Server 2008 R2 x64 Updates (Cumulative Updates?)

I'm installing a WSUS server in our network and due to it being a virtual dev environment, none of the R2 servers have EVER been updated. I was wondering if there is a cumulative package of updates that could be downloaded or do I have to download each one and queue them up before I set up the WSUS server?

Once you have WSUS setup and all the computers/servers connect and you setup which updates you wish to download sync and approve they will all become updated

That makes sense, only we're not attached to the internet. Which means I have to download the updates and sneakernet them over to the dev side.

This is such a pain. But they won't listen to me. Same with the anti-virus server. I have to download the patches and then move them over, too! UGH!

So no packages then? I have to go and grab them all one at a time??

Thank you so much, guys! I appreciate your help!

Thanks, we are here to help. I do have one thing to mention though, which may help you in future requests. The point that you awarded us do not cost you anything and they do mean a lot to our status on the site. I suggest issuing the entire 500 points to get more responses next time.

Whoops! I'm sorry! I thought there was only a limited number of points that you're given when you sign up... I'll make sure to remember that next time! Thank you for the info again. I really do appreciate it.

I believe they charge you by the month. If you also have a little expertise to share you can eliminate the monthly fee by answering questions for others. It requires 3000 points per month...and is the reason that I take time to answer questions each month. I can then post questions as well. It's a great system.
