XPsp2 Dealine Issue
Currently we use SUS to manage our updates on the majority of our
workstations. There are a select few who do not and they have automatic updates turned on and pointing to windows update. Will these users be affected by this deadline. Will they be prompted to Accept the EULA? Even if they accept it, will it still install eventhough the logged on user is not an admin on the desktop? I have seen some eventlog messages stateing that the following updates have been download please log on with an administrator account to install the update. Will this be the message that will be seen along with that annoying popup. Paul Glickenhaus |

I'm not certain if SP2 will install without an administrator account, but I
have yet to see a SUS managed machine ask for an account with those rights. If it fits within your business model, which I do not pretend to know, nor presume to suggest, you might find it beneficial to have SUS handle all the workstations, since you can then simply not approve SP2 until such time as you desire. And, it will install without an administrator being logged on to the workstation (At least, at my workplace it did. Probably because it was being pushed by a Domain Admin, like all the other SUS based updates.) FWIW, I have been using SUS for nearly two years with no difficulties, and pushed SP2 out as soon as it was available, with the only snag being that darned Windows firewall defaulting to on, instead of off. However, a simple registry setting script took care of that. Yes, I know this doesn't exactly answer your question, but I thought you might be interested. "Paul Glickenhaus" wrote in message ...
