Updating will always require some kind of administrator involvement regardless of what deployment method you use (unless of course you actually design an auto-update feature that is specific to your application). Scheduling, as previous mentioned, is not possible because your computer assigned software installation policy will always be dependent on a reboot of the machine.

Also, what are the limitations of Group Policy with regard to scheduling, auto updating, and reporting? I've read that these cannot be done or are of limited functionality. For updating, how automated can it be? Does there always have to be Administrator involvement? Any further information appreciated! Thanks much!!
