Using BDD and Security Patches MitchW 6/13/2007 7:59:00 PM Hello, I am using BDD 2007 and I have a base image of Vista Enterprise. Microsoft released yesterday some security patches that effect Vista and Office. How can I "inject" those into my image without having to deploy the image, apply the patches, and then reimage. Can I do this in off-line mode? thanks, mitch
