configure WSUS

hi all,

seem that the newsgroup for WSUS is down, unable to get into the link.
this is the next relevant newsgroup i found, hope its ok to post here.

i am testing the roll out of tested patches to client pcs inside a OU.
as i do not wan user intervention, hence i selected option 4 auto download
and schedule install. i hv also enable the allow automatic update immediate
installation.

here is my qn.

i realise that the 1st update is to install windows installer 3.1 and BITS &
winhttp 5.1 update and reboot is requried before the full list of other
patches can be installed.

as the full list of installation consists of abt 30 updates, i intend to
rollout over the weekend. so if restart is required, it means that the
patches will not installed successfully. how can i force all the updates to
install in a single session?

i also realised if the current logon user is local administrator, it will
need user to select express or custom install before the installation
continue. how can i bypass this step.

thx & best regds
