Are you not able to 'push' updates out to the client machines? I
actually think you would prefer that method...that way, you're certain
that the updates were applied.

To give a common example; where I work, malware signatures and McAfee
program updates (as needed) get pushed to all workstations overnight.

Your (l)users should not be updating anything on their machines, other
than their own passwords.

Unfortunately, the auto update requires user to be local admins.

Is there a way to have a program run with local admin privs no matter who is
logged on? Also, without prompting for any credentials
