We have the SUS server delivering our approved updates quite nicely.

Problem is, some of our users keep hitting the 'install later' option and
we're not getting all the updates installed on the machines as timely as
possible.

My question is whether there is a 'command' or 'command line' that can force
that install to begin. I can either set that in a schedule or force it with
Ghost, etc.

Thanks!
 
Then your users are administrators on their local machine, if they are
"normal user" they dont get this option . Otherwise you can force the
updates to be installed but , then the machnie will retsart with out giving
them an option to save their work.

Unfortunately, you are correct - many of our end-users are administrators on
their workstations. Nothing I can do about that, so I'm back to - Is there
any way I can force these queued updates to install?

I would set up a ghost process to WOL the systems at night, run the updates
& shut back down. I just need to know how to kick the process off.
