I would suggest that, for an automatic update, you use the command line SVN
client. This will give you more control over what happens during automated
operations.

As far as I know, no.

However, this is really a question for an expert Windows administrator. If
your company's IT helpdesk is unable to help, I'd suggest asking at
Stackoverflow or the Microsoft Developer Network forum (or, if there is
one, Microsoft Administrators Network forum).
