Install a WSUS server in that location, and let it download the patches
once, and then deploy them over the local lan to each machine.  You could
remotely approve the patches to install when you're ready.

WSUS has made my life VERY easy here, with 30+ machines.  It's virtually automatic.

Is there a server in that location that could have that added?  WSUS is a
free tool to do just that.  PCA onto the server, approve the patches to
install, and then at whatever schedule you've set each machine to check the
local server for updates (typically early AM 2-4 AM), they get patched.

Works for me.
