I'm doing a Build & Capture in OSD, and my process works except installing wsus updates. Partition Disk Apply Operating System (building from files, not existing wim) Use Toolkit package Apply CustomSettings.ini Appy Windows Settings Set WSUSserver set Log location Apply Network Settings Apply Device Drivers Setup Windows and Config Mgr Install updates Call ZTIwindowsupdate.wsf (tried as a backup approach) Prepare ConfigMgr Client Join Workgroup Prepare OS Capture Reference Machine There is probably some duplicates and simplifying opportunities but, it isn't running updates which is desperately needed to the base OS files It seems to skip the updates and starts doing work at ‘adding instruction at 17’ --- And thanks for any help offered... smsts.log Parsing step node: Set Task Sequence Variable- WSUS Description: ContinueOnError: SuccessCodeList: 0 (__hrMethodRetVal == ((HRESULT)0L)) || (bFailIfMissing == false), HRESULT=80070002 (e:\nts_sms_fre\SMS\common\inc\ccmxml.h,566) No condition is associated with the step.

this may not be it, but it's worth looking at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2509007 Edit: also, the client needs to be in a collection, where that collection is the target for a Deployment management (and that DM has the updates you want it to install). Standardize. Simplify. Automate.
