Deploy 'Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4' using StartUp Script

Hello,

I am planning to Deploy 'Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP 4'
(Q891861) using a Computer Start Up script. This update requires a
reboot (although this can be surpressed using command-line switches).
My first question is: is it a problem if a Computer Start up script
restarts the workstation? (ie does it interrupt Windows start up and,
therefore, cause any type of issue). Advice appreciated....
My second question is: is there an easy way to build into a script a
check to see whether a particular update is installed to avoid running
the update again?

Thanks in advance for suggestions / comments

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but you should really
consider WSUS.
It is very quick and easy to set up, and will make deploying patches MUCH
easier for you. It will check if the client system needs the update, and
deploy it for you. You also have the option to configure how it will handle
the reboot after the update is applied.
Another big benefit (besides having a great long-term patching solution
which is VERY important in any network) is that you can look at the reports
to see if the install if failing on any of your systems.
