This post we discuss how to update your Windows 8.1 image with Update 1 in SCCM 2012 R2.
In most environments this update isn't downloaded automatically with any ADR(due to the update classifications set in it). You need to manually download the update.
Also, make sure that at least the KB2919442 update has been installed (servicing stack update) in your image.
First, open the SCCM 2012 console. Navigate to Software Library > Software Updates > All Software updates. Search for KB2919355 and hit enter (this is the Update 1 update). Rightclick it, and select download.
Then, choose the deployment package you want to use.
In the example, we chose Windows 8.1 monthly updates.
Click Next
Click Next
If needed, select extra languages. Then click next when done.
Check the overview to see what actions are going to be done. Click Next.
You can monitor the progress bar (this can take some time because the update is about 700 MB)
Once done, you should receive a screen looking like the one below.
Now rightclick the update, and select 'Edit Membership'. Choose the ADR rule you want, and select OK.
Now you can add the update to an image using Offline Servicing. Go to Software Library > Operating Systems > Operating System Images. Rightclick the image you want to update, and select Schedule Updates.
Select the update and click Next
Set the scheduling settings as you desire, and click Next
Confirm the settings, click Next
Monitor the progress.
Once done, click Close
Check the update status in the OfflineServiceMgr.log
Once that's finished, you succesfully integrated/slipstreamed the Update 1 rollup in your Windows 8.1 image :)
In this post we'll discuss how to slipstream SP1 into your Office 2013 installation.
The great benefit of this is that after installing Office 2013, it's at SP1 level, so that you don't need to install so many updates after your base installation.
First off, download the SP1 installer package:
Office 2013 SP1 32-bit version
Office 2013 SP1 64-bit version
Once downloaded, put them in a seperate folder on your hard drive:
Then, create the following folder structure:
Copy the content of your Office 2013 DVD to the appropriate DVD folder.
Use the following commandline to extract the contents of the Service Pack to the extract folder.
Accept the license information (note: despite the fact that I'm running an English version of my OS, and I've opened the en-us version of the Service Pack installer, it still somehow comes with the EULA prompt in Dutch...... VERY strange).
The files are being extracted....
After it's completed, it should look something like this:
Now, copy all the files within extract_x86 or extract_x64 to your DVD\Updates folder
After it's done, you can test it by running setup.exe. In my case, I've used a custom msp file, which makes the installation silent. Note that if you have made a custom msp file, it still works, so no further customization is neccessary.
Once installed, you can open up Word 2013 for example, to check what version is installed.
The version 15.0.4569.1506 is the minimum version SP1 is at. Any higher or equal number indicates that you have installed SP1 (this is the same for the 64-bit version).
If you use SCCM, don't forget to update your distribution points!
