Our GPO lets windows automatically download updates, but gives the user the choice to install them. Does anyone know of a way that I can activate the install without physically touching the box or using RDP? What triggers windows to run the install process?

Thanks,
Casey

I'm not sure if this will work but you can give it a try.

Go to your GPO and just change the settings for "WSUS updates policy" right click on the policy, click edit and browse through "Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update"

Select "Configure Automatic Updates" it should be enabled and change the settings to "Auto download and schedule for install"
