SCCM 2007 OSD Build and Capture Task sequence failled during installing Windows updates

Installing Software Updates fails during Build and Capture Task sequence.
This issue can be caused from multiple reasons, requiring restarts, dependencies from other updates..etc
To clear all these issues, I implemented three Software updates component, configured with Continue on error followed with Restart after each Software updates component.
Using this way  all errors, restarts, after installation issues were resolved and Capture part of TS can continue without any issue.

WMI Filter for Windows 7 x86 or x64 OS

If you want to use WMI Query in SCCM TS to make difference between Windows 7 x86 and Windows 7 x64 then this WMI query should be used:

Win 7 32 bit machines:

select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Version like "6.1%" AND ProductType="1" AND NOT OSArchitecture = "64-bit"

Win 7 64Bit machines:

select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Version like "6.1%" AND ProductType="1" AND OSArchitecture = "64-bit"
