Hi,
Yes, you can.
Note however that auto-updater is a dangerous tool in a multi-user
environment due to deceptive ease of use and potential exposure to other
users.
I like "Microsoft Network Security Hotfix Checker" hfnetchk.exe:
Description:

Download:
--------------------------
http://download.microsoft.com/download/win2000platform/Utility/3.3/NT45/EN-US/Nshc332.exe
which I run from a batch file:
rem ---------------------
hfnetchk.exe>>out.txt
notepad.exe out.txt
rem ---------------------
If you keep output file around (out.txt in the above example), you will see
history of your updates.
I had some cases when automatic update missed things that were broken after
original patch, but "hfnetchk" compared DLL versions and recommended the
update.
To be honest I did not conduct detailed comparison of the above two
approaches and do not know if "hfnetchk" has ability to report all update
information such as new driver availability.
