Command line switches for security updates

Does anyone know of a command line switch or any other way
to push security updates to workstations without any
intervention from the user?

I use ZENworks to distribute my apps and would like to use
it for security updates as well. I found the /Q switch but
the user is still prompted to click ok to continue. I don't
really want to setup an SUS server unless I have to.


Thanks
 
Depends on what type of hotfix it/they are.

For example, for OS hotfixes, I use " /Z /U" this is silent and will not
reboot the system (I have another means that performs that step after qchain
is run)

For most IE hotfixes, I use /q /r:n

For the MDAC hotfix (this one is strange), I use /C:"dahotfix.exe /q /n" /q

Usually, these are listed in the hotfix information page published by
Microsoft (check the heading called 'Security Update Information') -
