Is there a tool other than WSUS or SCCM that can download all Windows 8.1 updates for use with System Image Manager? I would like to deploy the updates along with the OS, custom drivers, and custom app
Hi Sean Liming,
The main purpose is to deploy the updates ,drivers ,applications with os, right ?
Have you tried to use MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit) ?
Here are links for reference :
Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2013

Hi Sean Liming,
"but would rather have a method to download so they are available in SIM"
I am afraid there is not a tool to achieve this goal .
Best regards
Actually, there is a 3rd party tool: http://www.windowsupdatesdownloader.com/Screenshots.aspx.

It can download the updates, but I have to manually import them into the distribution share. I was hoping that Microsoft had a tool that did the same thing. It looks like there is some APIs: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa387099(v=vs.85).aspx
Hi Sean Liming ,
The main purpose is to download all the updates for specific system version image ,right ?
I haven`t heared about such an official released tool to do this .
As for the API ,I have found a tool based on this API developed by our MSDN guys to install the updates ,but I am afraid it doesn`t meet your need.
