Offline updating your vm’s (fast and free)

A colleague showed me a tool for offline updating windows clients and servers. It’s called the c’t offline update tool. Just start the tool and download the patches for your platform en create a iso file with the tool. Move this iso file to your vmware iso datastore and connect your vm’s and run the tool to update the vm’s. This is a very quick method to update your vm’s when you have not installed updates for a long time.

Download the tool here:
