Forced updates via SUS/WUS Servers

    Just wondering....

    On the desktops here, everyone has local admin rights (yeah I know, but I cant put up with the constant 'I cant install x'). I want to keep everyone up to date patch wise as well. With people having admin rights I think some of them are turning off automatic updates etc. I'm wondering can I set it up via SUS or WUS (or otherwise) that when they login in to the domain that any patches available are automatically installed.???

    Can you get domain login scripts/process to launch the update app. Maybe it can run silently. I'm sure Microsoft.com has info about administrating this type of thing.
    Also, you might be able to set domain rules to keep auto updates on.

    Finally, there might be a way to remotely modify the registry of the machines in the domain to turn auto updates on (if the setting is stored there).
