Yes, you can create a batch script to set Windows Updates to automatic by using the Windows Command Line tool sc to modify the Windows Update service settings. The script can include commands to start the Windows Update service and configure it to start automatically. However, administrative privileges are required to execute these changes, so the script should be run as an administrator. Additionally, modifications to the Windows Update settings can also be done through Group Policy or the Windows Registry for more advanced configurations.
Windows Vista delivers a substantial update to the Group Policy infrastructure. Yet as organizations around the world deploy Windows Vista, many administrators probably won't notice much of a difference in how they work because the numerous changes in Group Policy functions all take place under the hood. What administrators will find, however, is that Windows Vista™ Group Policy is much more powerful than it was in previous versions. Prior to Windows Vista, Group Policy processing occurred within a process called winlogon. Winlogon had a lot of responsibility, which included getting people logged on to their desktops, as well as servicing the various Group Policy chores. Group Policy is now its own Windows® service. What's more, it's hardened, which means that it cannot be stopped nor can an administrator take ownership of the permissions upon Group Policy in order to then turn it off. These changes enhance the overall reliability of the Group Policy engine.
