Answer Wiki:
If you are running a windows domain you can specify the settings using group policy. Alternatively you can setup a WSUS server that the clients will connect to in order to get the updates (uses less internet bandwidth as only 1 machine actually needs to download the files from the internet). Again though, you have to specify your clients to use the WSUS server in group policy. <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328010">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328010</a>
