Set Deadline Date Automatcially.

Scenario:
1. We have the option enabled to Automatically approve Security and Critical
updates.

2. We use GPO to to tell the computers to install the updates at 3:00AM

3. I manually set a deadline date for each update to 2 days after the
updates are approved.

For example: Update comes in gets approved. I allow 24 hours for the updates
to replicate tto the Replica server. Then 24 hours to allow the clients to
install the updates ate 3:00. The deadline date serves the purpos of if the
update did not get installed at 3:00 am to install any way.

So, with all that said my QUESTION:
Is there a way via script / SQL or any other to have the Deadline date be
set automatically so that I donot have to set the deadline manually.

Thank you in advanced.

For future reference, microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services would have
been a more appropriate newsgroup for this question.
