computer daily at 12:00 AM and end when Windows Update completes. The task is configured to

display a message to the user before Windows Update. The keyboard and mouse are disabled.

the Message to be displayed before the task field. This message can be edited. Add

the word minutes in the message after %d to include the word minutes as part of

the message.

When scheduling the Windows Update task select the When Windows Update

completes option or ensure that you allow a sufficient time frame to permit all

required update activities. Review of Microsoft Security Bulletins from the

Technet web site (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin) to

consider the appropriate time frame based upon the Critical and Security updates

being released.

If you are not using WSUS, Deep Freeze Windows Update process will only apply

non user-intervention Critical and Security updates. If you are using WSUS, all

WSUS approved updates will be applied.

site (http://catalog.update.microsoft.com) to obtain KB downloads which can

then be applied using a Deep Freeze Batch File Workstation Task. Batch File tasks
