    You might want to try WUS. No, that is not an insult. ;-)

    Seriously, WUS is the successor to SUS.

    I think there is some more GPO controls, that can force immediate
    installs.

    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.
