Here is the problem. I do testing.. I need windows, not by choice, for testing purposes. I need physical hardware to do my testing. To do this, I install windows from PXE. The problem with this is, that I now need to have all of the windows updates installed after windows is done installing. HOWEVER, windows updates take A VERY LONG TIME. Like 6 hours+ to install (Downloading only takes seconds) as well as multiple reboots. Instead of installing the updates every time I finish a PXE install which is very time consuming, is there a way to get windows to install the updates, maybe even from wndows PE to speed up the process of updating? I've already looked into making a generalized sys-prep image, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make the sys-prepped image install like standard windows and I don't want to have to reconfigure my entire pxe configuration to use clone-zilla to mirror the sysprepped image. Is there a way to make a sysprepped image that will work with setup.exe?
