I often set up servers in Hyper V on my laptop (running windows server 2008) to test varoius software.

Is there a way in powershell to build an image in Hyper V and run windows update on that image? Does anyone have a script that they could share?

You can create a WIM image of the virtualized operating system, and run offline updates against it with DISM.

  • You can do the same without making a WIM image first. Just run the offline update against the image in the VHD, by mounting the VHD. Mar 17, 2013 at 5:30
