    You don't embed the logon credentials. You must modify each host so that
    it's "Automatic Updates" service looks to the SMS server instead of to
    WindowsUpdate. Then you can use the SMS server to "trigger" each PC to
    begin pulling the download and runnin the update.

      Does anyone have any experience with the MS SMS Installer utility?
    Supposedly you can compile security patches into an .MSI file with Admin
    credentials and then deploy. How do you embed the logon credentials,
    scripting?
