How to download all critical updates at once?

Hi,

I want to create a new install disk. So I slipstreamed the service pack and
now I need to do the same with the updates. Otherwise every new installed pc
needs to install over 75 updates with several reboots before being ready for
use.

Does anyone of you know how I can find and download them all at once?

So are you going to create a new slipstreamed Install disk how often?
Updates are issued frequently so you will HAVE to draw the line somewhere...

well, for this one time there are many updates to slipstream.
When installing 50 pc's (over the year) which have to update 300MB (or more)
less.
That can be a lot of time to save right?

If you're paid by the hour, why would you care?

Don't pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

Google Keywords:
"Windows Update Downloader"

Not all of those updates can be integrated - you'll still have a dozen or
so. ;-)

Thank you Shenan Stanley, thank you very much.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Although, I am paid by the hour
indeed, I like to work as efficiently as possible. Just for my own honor
maybe.
And of course ther will be new updates, but the less the better.

Kind regards The
