Expidite Windows updates on new PC
Hello, I often implement new desktops and laptops using windows 7, 8, etc..
Is there a way to have the units preform continuous updates for Widows updates including restarts so I don't have to manually keep selecting Windows updates?
I do have a server if that helps... I do not want to make a clone of systems because I get all different models, etc..

Wsus may have that option, but normally the update process runs once per day unless you trigger it manually.
I would say work on one system with the WSUS Offline update process, then copy that set of updates to each pc and apply them.

If you have a group of completely identical brand new systems you are implementing, you could update the first one, take an image of the entire system and restore it to each of the other new systems.
This only works if they are brand new and are not being used by anyone because it would delete everything already on each drive.
Hope this helps!

Using WSUS is the way to go along with changing time intervals to update. As stated in the original note I want to be able to do this without cloning as I get different models. etc..
