Force downloaded updates to install

I manage a group of XP machines that are set to download
their Windows Updates automatically. For several
administrative reasons, these machines can not be set to
automatically install their updates. However, I would
like these machines to check for and install any waiting
updates each time any time they are rebooted. The
downloads are already there waiting to be installed.

I don't want any user interaction. Is there a command
that can be put in the startup script to do this?

Thanks,
Matt
 
With the current patch delivery solutions from Microsoft
you would need to run Sus server in order to effect forced
installation of patches. Using Windows Update will not
get you there.
