Is it possible to send windows updates via AD? I know I should use
SUS, but the organization which I want to do this doesn't want to
spend any money for that, but I need to find a way to automate Windows
Updates.

Perhaps by some type of logon script or something? Windows Updates
aren't distributed individually in .msi's are they?

There has to be a way…
