We have 32 machines that aren't normally connected to our network and can't
be left on alone. We manually run updates once per week now. Are there any
options to manually run Windows auto-update such that we could just
double-click an icon or put in the startup folder so it would run the updates
without us having to click through the options?

Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks!
-Steve
