WSUS/Group Policy is great if I had a Windows DC... we're running Samba though and I haven't figured out an open source alternative yet. We're just now getting an OpenLDAP setup instead of using PAM authentication.

You can easily just disable the windows update service with a script using SC.exe or any other kind of remote service stop tool.
If you have SC.exe and a list of workstations, just wrap a simple batch file around it (see below)...
************************************************** ***************
for /f %%a in (machine_list.txt) do call
OIT %%agoto END
OITset mchname=%1
sc \\%mchname% stop wuauserv
goto END
:END
************************************************** ***************
You can get fancier by checking the state, etc. but you get the drift.

I seem to remember it from a Three Dog Night song "Mama told me not to come"
