Shit.  I couldn't even get people to save their work at the end of the day to allow for updates and needed reboots.

Tried to get a policy in place for people to at least log off before leaving for the day.  I would then schedule our WSUS install to do updates off hours.

Management agreed to it, and we told everyone to log off or reboot at the end of each day and that if they failed to save their work, TOO EFFING BAD.

That went great until the President of the Company didnt save her work and I
got chewed out for rebooting her PC at 3AM.

This is why I got out of IT.  No matter what happened, it was ALWAYS my fault.
