So I have done some high level testing, and for the detection Method would look
like this:
$UpdateSession = New-Object -ComObject 'Microsoft.Update.Session'
$UpdateSession.ClientApplicationID = 'SCCM App Catalog Check for
updates'
$UpdateSearcher = $UpdateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher()
$SearchResult = $UpdateSearcher.Search("IsInstalled=0 and
Type='Software' and IsHidden=0")
$SearchResult.Updates.Count
then use Jeffrey’s Get-WindowsUpdates powershell script which you can find here
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Get-WindowsUpdatesps1-7c82c1f4 with a
tweak to hard code the install & Accept the EULA’s.
I like the Concept and we might use it here, for the simple reason I can
educate my staff to only use the App catalog, and the Software Center is there
to monitor the installations for admin and nosiy staff.
obviously make sure you fully test the solution. as I've done very little with
it

You would gave do it as a 2 step process, release the updates from sup, then
have an application which calls something like the get-windowsupdate command
let that you can get from the teched site, to install the updates, and then use
the same command let for detection with a count.
I haven't tested this, but would be interested I the outcome

Software Center = Computer Deployments
Application Catalog = User Deployments
Don’t see why you couldn’t deploy updates to users, but it’s not something I’ve
ever done. Maybe someone else has some experience?

Mike, but in Software Center is per Computer not per User, right?
Tnx

Make the updates available, not required and display them in Software Center.
