To clear the confusion, this is what the boulder update
server contains:
1. Base-service image: in the CD image, there are 2 parts:
- - part 1: required and must be installed no matter
what; This part is NOT on the boulder server;
- - part 2: optional; Since it's optional, it may not be
installed on an end-user's machine, and so it may be needed
by a service pack; This is the Base-servce image on the
boulder server and it's not contained in any service pack
(otherwise the service pack would be too big).
2. Service packs:
- - 7.0.0.1
- - 7.0.0.2 (contains everything in 7.0.0.1)
- - 7.0.0.4 (contains everything in 7.0.0.2; coming soon)

When you update a machine from 7.0, 7.0.0.1 to 7.0.0.2, even
if you downloaded the 7.0.0.2, the new features may need sth
from the Base-service image, and that why IM trys to download more.

As others point out, to really use the local repositories to
update the machines, you need:
- - 7.0.0.2 repository
- - CDs, or, XCOPY the CDs to a hard drive (into the same
folder so that it looks like C:\wdsc\disk1, C:\wdsc\disk2...,
"C:\wdsc" can be any other name. Then define a repository to
C:\wdsc\disk1\DiskTag.inf; IM can then
find the other disks). You need to define the repository for each
machine (in IM). Or,
- - Use the Package Utility to package the 7.0 CDs and
7.0.0.2 image into one repository, and use it to update the machines.
