hiding the AU system tray icon

I'm implementing SUS at my company and was wondering if it is possible to
permanently hide the Windows Update tray icon that shows up when updates are
being downloaded and/or waiting to be installed. We want the process to have
no user interaction whatsoever, if possible. We don't want them to know that
the downloads are ready to install, and we don't want them to be able to
install on their own (we have SUS set to do the automatic install at 3 AM.)

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Frank
