Force AU to silent install of updates

I am looking for a way with SUS to froce an installation
of a currently dowloaded package into a machine (W2K, XP).
I can use gpedit to setup the policy to #4(Auto download
and schedule), this is OK. The package gets deliever to
the box but prompts the user to install. You can click on
the X and close the box and never install the package.

Is there a way to 'force' the update to install and only
prompt the user to reboot? Or that the update has been
install and and that they need to reboot for the changes
to take affect?
