Well, I found out the url that launches an update doesn't require a login so
I was just able to use the following, any comments on a better way to do
what I'm doing in the script?

-----------------------
Dim objExp
set objExp = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

objExp.Navigate
"http://myhostserver/stats/awstats.pl?config=mydomain&update=1"
objExp.Visible = 0

Do Until objExp.Busy = false
   WScript.Sleep 10000
Loop

set objExp = Nothing
-----------------------
