Built and captured new wim and included all updates but more updates get applied when I build from that wim

EDIT: This is on SCCM 2012 R2 CU3
(EDIT: simplified title)
I have a task sequence for building reference images from. This runs the Software Updates Step last and seems to work fine. When it completes I reboot the target machine then do a capture to wim (using the SCCM capture iso).
I import the new wim and link it to the GOLD build task sequence, but when I build from from it the machine tries to install another bunch of updates.
The OS I'm building is 2008 R2 SP1. I have all updates from year 2008 deployed to the right collection.
Why does it try to install more updates??
I was considering using SCCM to install the updates directly into the WIM but I'm no longer convinced it will work. I just want a gold image, built from scratch, with all updates in it.

P1: Agreed. I didn't do a very good job of explaining myself.
I have failed to get the multiple "install updates" methods to work at all, though I would love it to work. For Server 2008 installs the process gets stuck for 20mins on the "Detecting Updates..." stage, and loops round again to download
the same set of updates it did the previous time never reboots, and gets stuck at "Detecting Updates" again. For server 2012 installs it seems to work but it never get all the updates, even after 5 loops of the install updates step.
I've read sp many posts saying they've got the multiple "install updates" method to work fine. I've tried building my Task Sequence to be exactly as posted by several different people. I've also tried my own improvements. The result is the
same every time, so I don't think there is a problem with the TS.
Thanks for you feed back. It is useful to know it "can" work as it implies there is a problem someone (either with me or SCCM). You help is appreciated.
Thanks.
As a side note, I'm going to make a new post for the following. I did a bit of further digging and it seems like this might be related to why the above is not working....
I've built a 2012 and a 2008 server with a single "install updates" step in the task sequence. When the build is finished I then run windows updates within the OS. The result is "No More Updates Found", I felt this was suspicions
as there were no were near enough updates installed already. I then pointed the machines at Microsoft's update servers and, bingo, it finds more updates. I assumed these updates where missing from my Updates Package in SCCM but that turned out to
be wrong, they are right there, distributed to the DP, and deployed to the right collection.
As far as I understand it, you don't need to touch the WSUS console, but seeing as I didn't build this SCCM environment, I thought I would check it out anyway. It looks like WSUS may have been partly configured directly at some point, rather letting
SCCM to it all. Example: I searched in the WSUS console for appoved updates and found 6 old ones (2003 server and XP) approved for Install. A further search found 421 "Declined" updates. Everything else is marked "Not Approved".
Does any of this matter if SCCM is supposed to be managing it? Should I trash WSUS and the SCUP and reinstall it, or is there something else I should be doing?

  • HT1349 I updated my Itunes and my entire library disappeared including all my playlists.  How do I fix this?

    I updated my Itunes and my entire library disappeared including all my playlists.  How do I fix this?

    Are they really gone?  Look in your Home > Music > iTunes folder and folders inside. Do you see media there?  Also try to use Spotlight to search for things you know you have.
    If you keep media on an external drive, are they there?  If it is all there, try starting iTunes with the option key held down and guide to the external.
    If really gone, use a backup of your drive to restore the iTunes folder.
    If no backup and they are really gone, you can download some items from Apple again.  You'll have to re-construct the library though as all the playlists, ratings, date added, and some other things will be gone.

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. In lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. The keywords are in lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    I actually found under  EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.

    If it says 'Open' in the App Store, then it's on your device.  What happens when you press the 'Open' button in the App Store?
    The App is on your phone, somewhere.  Use Spotlight to find it, or you can reset your Home Screen layout, and then you'll definitely find it.

    Tried all the things on the apple support site (checked USB port, deleted the 3 exe files in Task Manager, tried a new cable).  None worked.  Got the same message on my old computer.
    Any ideas??

    Amazing help from apple support over the phone.  Restoring the computer fixed the problem.

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time. You can see what content you can download here:

    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.
    For full instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Or you can just copy the iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, if you still have the old computer and it's in working order.

  • Log and capture or Log and transfer?

    I'm a newbie to FCP, I've been working at it and researching, so I have a basic understanding, been able to do some good stuff, now I'm looking to find more time-economical ways to do things.  I'm a football coach, looking to cut up game films into individual plays (1 play per clip), and ideally being able to name each clip by it's play name "Trap" or "Pop Pass" for example.  It looks like I need to get into logging if possible.  My workflow at present when dealing with an opponent's film is to take a DVD, and get it onto my computer using MPEG Streamclip.  I've been using DVC-PAL as a codec at someone's suggestion, I can't rmemeber where I got that.  Is this a mistake?  Anyhow, I now import that movie file into FCP using File>Import.  At this point I can't do any logging though, if I try Log and Capture or Log and Transfer I get "Unable to initialize video deck", though it tells me I can still use Capture Now.  Once it opens the Log and Capture window, I get "Error: this operation requires a controllable deck."  and directs me to the Audio/Video Settings.  Here's where I'm pretty much lost.  Do I try to adjust settings from here?  If so, to what?  Do I need to start by changing my MPEG Streamclip settings and then trying to match those up in my FCP Audio/Video Settings?  Or do I need to completely overhaul the way I'm approaching this?  ARGH!  I've been impressed with myself getting to this point, any help from here would be greatly appreciated, thanks all!

    Log and Capture is used if you are capturing footage from tape based formats.  DV, HDV, HDCAM...others.
    Log and Transfer is for tapeless camera systems.  P2, XDCAM, Canon DSLR, AVCHD. 
    If your footage comes from DVDs...and you convert the footage to QT files...then you simply go to FILE>IMPORT.  You don't log with this method.  Just import and work with the footage.

  • Have old MacBook Pro running tiger 10.4 want to save date to external hard drive and buy newer MacBook and still use same drive. Any suggestions, most  WD drives say nothing about os tiger 10.4.

    Have old MacBook Pro running tiger 10.4 want to save date to external hard drive and buy newer MacBook and still use same drive. Any suggestions, most  WD drives say nothing about os tiger 10.4. The OS compatibility  is much newer on the data.  Totally confused. Not a computer person.

    I haven't checked reviews recently but there's a difference between bare drives and drives with enclosures.  Western Digital made some of the most reliable drives last time I checked, though the enclosures weren't all that great.  It is convenient to get both in one package but I usually buy a highly rated enclosure and then put a highly rated drive in it myself.  OWC sells some good enclosures but if they put a so-so drive inside of it then the package is only as good as its weakest component.  If you get a package from them, ask them what drive is inside (some vendors have no idea what's inside  -  went to an Apple Store recently and they couldn't tell me what was inside some of their Apple brand enclosures).  My first thought if buying a new drive would be to buy a OWC enclosure with a WD drive, but chek around because I may be out of date.
    10 years ago Seagate was one of the best drives. Now they rate poorly in reviews.

    Same here.... No fix. Replacing is the option apparently and if you're out of warranty, you're SOL. That was as per the "Genius" at Apple.

    We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

    There is no "adding" a device.  Simply plug the iDevice into the computer.  iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
    iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

    The colour of your iPhone is insignificant. Can you explain what you mean by "my Apple iphone 4 died it been and hour already been charged it all night", which makes no sense at all? If English is not your native language, you are free to post in your own language.
