how to speed up the deployment or update of new workstations over a slow wan link

Step 1: install WSUS
this 'free' piece of MS software is a dream to use in small to medium sized businesses
it allows you to:
a. save bandwidth on your internet connection(s)
b. approve, schedule, download updates to your liking
c. have a status report on all your Windows devices
Step 2: configure AD policy for WSUS
create a Group Policy that points to your WSUS server,
my advise is to use a DNS alias, that way you are able to move the WSUS service to another server without having to update anything (be it the policy or the WSUS agents),
only point the alias to the new host and you are done, I actually do this with a lot of services
put the service to the alternate port 8530 as this allows you to use the IIS instance for other hosted websites on the default port 80 (money is tight right now)
Step 3: install new workstation from scratch
whenever I order one or more new workstations or servers I immediately wipe the vendor's installation
usually it is full of crapware I see no need for in a business environment
put the workstation into AD after having it up and running with all the necessary drivers
then install all MS related software you might need (like Office)

Step 4: copy the downloaded updates to any new installed workstation
copy everything from %WINDIR%SoftwareDistributionDownload from any workstation in the same local network to that same folder of the new workstation
this time the WSUS agent will start the update but it is immediately finished since it will detect the updates as already downloaded
this is only true for the same updates, if the new workstation needs new updates they will still get downloaded
this how to allows you to cut down on the time needed to update a workstation
this is especially true for workstations that are on a remote site and need to download updates over the (usually) slow network link to the main office

WSUS is certainly a great tool, saves significant staff time and helps keep updates consistent on yur network for easy troublewhooting. You may want to change the title to something like 'Deploying WSUS to speed up Windows Updates' it would be more descriptive for your article.
Good job :)

I am looking for something similar for workgroup clients.
We serve a lot off small offices (2-5 pc's no server) and updating a new pc is always time consuming.Idea's?

Really useful
You could also try CTUpdate (WSUS Offline).
This is very handy to have as well.http://www.vulnerabilityassessment.co.uk/ctupdate.htm

Latest Psp Update
PSP update (v6.10) is now available. New PSPgo and existing PSP owners should make sure to download the update to ensure full compatibility with MediaGo and with all PSP titles. One of the key features included with this update is SensMe.
SensMe channels is a new music application for PSP that uses Sony’s proprietary 12 Tone Analysis technology to evaluate music tracks that have been imported from Media Go application on your PC to your PSP. The application automatically categorizes the tracks into 12 channels such as “Relax” or “Newly Added”. Check out the walk-thru demo to see how it works.
You also can now import playlists that are created using the Media Go 1.2 application.
