Patch a business

I require to know how to patch all the pc's on a network
other than visiting each machinr & logging on as the
administrator. We have a mixture of win2k & xp systems
that need the blaster patch. i have downloaded the patches
& written a batch file, but when i go to a user pc(power
user) it says i do not have enough privages i.e. i require
adminitrator privages to install the patch. How can i get
around this. 50 systems, including 5 remote workers.

Please look over this thoroughly. As i don't know what you did so far, this
will probably do it for you!

Push them out using a product like Shavlik's HFNetChk, or use the
RUNAS method of running the install as a local admin. Any number of
ways will work.

I have looked through the information & understand about
the threat, however i am looking for a way of updating all
the pc's on the corporate network without actually having
to go & visit each & every pc & run the update as the
local administrator. If there is no other way, then this
is what i shall do, however i can not imagine this is how
very big companies run these type of updates/patches.
I have looked @ the patch management page, but in all
honesty do not understand how it works at present. I was
going to install the update by sending out a link to batch
file which would like to the update & run the applicaion
over the network, however the requires the end user is
running with administrator privaleges which of course they
are not.
