Systems Deployment

Have you tried searching the Microsoft Knowledge Base for the KBxxxxx number?

The article you find will detail what the fix does, and provides an individual download link.

Thanks,

Dunnpy

I run Windows Update, and then manually download the individual patches from download.microsoft.com.
If you use "Custom Installation" instead of "Express", you can open the attached description, copy the KB number and search on that.
There are around 40-ish patches (post SP3) though, so it takes a while (I did it last week, took forever)...
