Deploying hotfixes via WSUS is something I do a lot, I'm not sure about others, but right now the process is a bit tedious and repetitive.
Something interesting is that there are detection logic and installation instructions contained within the MSU files. I'm wondering if there's some way to use those to generate the appropriate XML file for customupdatepublisher and fill in some of the metadata for the update, including the applicability and installed rules, from the information contained in the MSU file.
This is just the start of my looking into the workings of MSU files beyond just using the included CAB files with pkgmgr/dism. I wouldn't mind doing more research on this subject if it's an unknown for all involved.
