Drop the local admin rights, as a previous poster said. All that is, is
more work for you.
What requirement is in place that gives them local admin rights?

That is exactly my question. I do NOT want to rely on the users to
install the patches. However, if they are local admins they are
prompted to install and they can opt not to either through action or a
lack thereof. I was hoping for a way to force the update even if they
users are local admins.
