Use my wsus during deployment
Hi,
I have a WSUS in my environment so i didn't install the update component in sccm. How can use my wsus during my windows 7 deployment? I want that during the install it use my own wsus to update Windows 7 so at the end i have a pc deployed fully up to date.
Where in the Task sequence i choose my wsus ?

You don't. WSUS configuration is not part of OSD as OSD assumes a SUP.
Why don't you use Software Updates Management in ConfigMgr -- there are a lot of advantages? This being on eof them along with streamlined, unified, cradle-to-grave, single-pane of glass management and reporting.
You can use the ZTIUpdates.wsf script from MDT as an example for triggering software updates on a system. This script also sets the WSUS server. The one thing I remember hanging me up on this one at a client was having to cycle the Windows Updates service
on the client after setting the WSUS server but before initiating the software updates cycle. I don't remember if the script has that in it or not.
An alternate script example for triggering software updates can be found at

To the best of knowledge, GPO application is suspended during OSD, so you will have to manually set the WSUS server in the registry; this is as simple as setting a couple of registry keys:

Can you provide an example of use for the ZTIUpdates.wsf script from MDT ?

Not sure what you mean by an example. It's just a VBScript that you can run from a task sequence using a command-line task.Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/default.aspx | Twitter @JasonSandys
