It may be different with other organisations, maybe some organisations can afford to have down time, or do things differently. In the case of one of my current customers, they have a couple of spare PCs, and in total they have only about 8 PCs, so it's no major problem to just do one PC at a time, and if a PC fails they have a spare to use.
But MS low cost of ownership relies on you updating all pcs automatically from the servers - doing what you described above probably puts 2manhrs per pc labour onto the job.
