Haven't tested this yet, but I have thought to create a scheduled task which runs on Administrator privileges a .bat from netlogon share at every logon. To that .bat I can put all updates that needs to run with Administrator rights. Does this sound like a potential solution? Of course I have to create that scheduled task on every machine, but after that everything should be quite automatic.
