updates download but do not install via SUS

Hi, apologies for crossposting but need this to get to as many people who
may be able to offer help as possible.

We have had SUS configured and running for over a year now, set to download
and install updates after appoval at 4am, or 5 mins after a machine has been
logged on. We have a site office with a child SUS server and around 60
machines, the updates download, but do not install automatically. Instead
it advises that the updates have been downloaded and asks the user to
install them.

This morning when we turned on our machines, we got the automatic update
icon.
Updates are ready to download. After 5 minutes, the updates were downloaded
and we got the message that updates are ready to install. 2 Hours later, a
machine was rebooted, but we have still the message that the updates are
ready to install.

Can anuyone shed any light on this?

All users on this site are local admins on the machine, does this make a
difference?

Any help much appreciated.
