I'm an adminstrator of network here at work. I would like to get something
in place (through a script or group policy) that makes every computer in my
network automatically get windows updates and install them.

With all these viruses/worms lately, I think I had better start installing
them :) But I really don't want to go around to everyone's machine.

Thanks,
Michael

If your clients consist of Windows 2000 and XP desktops,
Microsoft's Software Update Services may be something to look into

https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A7AA96E4-6E41-4F54
-972C-AE66A4E4BF6C&displaylang=en

Microsoft's site seems to be going up and down, so you may
have to try a few times to get to that URL

Another app you can look at is GFI's LanGuard which
can deploy hotfixes remotely, but that costs money
and the Microsoft solution is free.
