Hi, Tony. Would you be willing to share the .vbs script that you referred to? I, for one, would be interested in it to use in this way:
We are a small outfit and, although I could probably be able to get funding for something like UpdateExpert for patch management, I myself have reservations about spending that kind of cash, given our size (<50 servers/workstations). We're also non-profit. I've considered using home-grown solutions and utilizing freebie tools such as those from SysInternals to patch. I would need to temporarily give users local admin rights to make it work, which is obviously not practical. I may as well visit each workstation to do that (which is what I do currently to apply patches). My knowledge of scripting is limited, so I've collected (scavenged?) what I need from various sources. Thanks in advance.

You put who you want in there and it gets populated in the local PC's groups. Two things though, one is that with this one, if you add a local user, it gets over-written by the GPO so you have to put that PC in a separate OU or not have it applied to that PC. Secondly, it's good because if someone adds a user to the local group that shouldn't be there, the GPO over-writes it. Alternatively, I have a .vbs script that goes out to every single PC (listed in a .txt file) and adds whatever groups we specify to go into whatever local groups we specify. Very nice indeed.
