Best Practices

I am attempting to create a Golden Image and would like to apply the patches we have on our K2000 instead of from Windows.  This would be more realistic in testing patches as it would simulate the Patching process to client machines.

I am looking for a way, if possible, to do this.

Edit:

After some time on itninja, i realized i was asking the Question incorrectly lol.  What  I was trying to do was implement the patches from the Kbox into the actual win7sp1 media that we use for scripted deployments and basically keeping it updated for quicker deployments and kimage builds. Instead of having to do 100+ patches every time i update our departmental images because I would be coming from my vanilla win7 image. We have about 15 departmental unique kimages, which I'd like to keep up to date.  Still working on setting up detect and deploy patches.  

Current Process:

Perform scripted install (win7sp1 media, vanilla), Post Tasks, Patch 100+ Patches, customize as needed etc....

Capture new kimage (all updated), test and ready for production deployment.

Just trying to save some time and appreciate the comments and help.
