What about and ISO with every patch since the last Service Pack? That would make setting up new machines with slow net connections nice and easy.

This is a boon for a virtual machine environment as well. You can easily mount the ISO and take it away from within the VM. Thanks Microsoft.

Glad to hear you've found it helpful, Peter.

If you're working with so many workstations, though, I hope you've considered using WSUS and Group Policy for targeting your workstations and managing/distributing updates from your own central server location.

See http://www.microsoft.com/wsus. It's free, too!

Thanks for the link Kevin, Burned the ISO & will be using it this week on about 200 machines that need updating. I can see this saving me hours of time.
