Command line version of Microsoft AutoUpdate?

[Brian]

Hello,

I'm new to this newsgroup. Tried searching the archives and found
nothing about this. So here goes...

Is there a Command line version of Microsoft AutoUpdate? I administer
a few hundred macs and want to deploy the updates to as many of these
as possible. Using terminal, I can open Microsoft AutoUpdate, but can
not fully execute it. I'm thinking along the lines of how Apple has
implemented their software updates. Any ideas?

Thanx,
Brian

The problem is that AutoUpdate really just pulls down VISE packages which
then run. It's kind of problematic. I end up just using logGen to take a
snapshot of their installs and then repackaging them with IceBerg and then I
deploy a PKG. So much simpler to deploy.
