The goal is patch management for our servers. Right now the process is me RDPing to the servers, install updates, restart as needed.
Before I show too much ignorance I'll see if there is a thread about good patch management strategies, or start one myself.

/sighYou can do all of that through GPO. I disabled the startup wizard(s) in Outlook to only use domain accounts and disable the automatic prompting. A first time user clicks on the outlook icon and it loads their inbox with NO prompting.
