runas for windows update

Hi,
I'd like to authorise user account to launch Windows
Update.

I want to transmit a password to the "runas" command, in a
batch file :

echo pwd | runas /user:adm wupdmgr.exe

But that don't work. Why ? Do someone know other way ?
thanks

The runas command does not support passwords.

There is some hacks, like this VBScript:

I would recommend you to install SUS and use this SUS-server for your
clients. Visit http://www.susserver.com/ to learn about this.

Thanks for the vbscript, that's work.

About SUS, I'm not sure it's good for notebooks users :
- Only users know when and how long they connect their
notebook in the network
- Do user accounts received messages if Windows Update is
being installed by SUS ?
- What will be the consequences if users shutdown their
notebook when Windows Update is being installed ?

.... Do you know another script that make updating
automatically only the critical update (without using SUS)
when the user run the script ?
