It all depends on the software you're updating. If it has an intelligent install routine that takes command line parameters and runs silently (i.e.) requires no user feedback, it should be dead easy. You just need to set up login scripts for your users, which are basically just batch files. Search the web for Login scripts and you'll find all you need to know. Alternativley buy a book, but the Web is more up2date.
