One solution that I'm using (not for the clusters, but for the several
tens of workstations, some of which run sometimes Windows) is to add a
"pull" to the startup scripts. If it's already up-to-date, nothing will
happen because of the smart syncronization; if it's old, an update takes
place.

Sincerely,
