Automatic Updates on limited accounts

[Allison]

I would like to know if there is a way through group
policy to allow automatic updates to run on a limited
account?

Thank you,
Allison

Hi Allison

Why would you need to - WU is Global. It's best to run WU via an =
account that has Administrative rights.

Because, I am asking about 50 machines that run Windows
XP. Each machine has two accounts 1 is an administrator
and the other is a limited user. The only way for the
machine to get its updates is if an administrator (me)
goes to the machine and logs in and gets them. I would
like it if each user could get them and install them
theirselves. I could go around periodically and check to
make sure they got them. I know I can go into gpedit.msc
and edit permissions on certain programs... I just haven't
found anything on WU. Any suggestions?

Hi

Deploying WU to 50 machines is different to myself 'deploying' to a 4 PC =
home 'network'. You may be better posting your question in the =
network_web news group - if you haven't done so already.
