Correct, the AU Options are not for accessing WU, they are for downloaded
updates. If you are set to AU Option 4, then the AU service will download and schedule the install behind the scenes and then install on the time/day specified. This does not require any user interaction, which is the reason for AU Option 4 on systems that have no Local Admin logged in.

Here's the deal..... I selected option 4 and then logged in as the user with no admin rights. When i went to access window updates it still told me that i could not access them cause i was not an admin. Since I selected option 4, does this mean that it will work at the schedualed time and that the non admin user can never just go to the actuall update site and download them? I really just want the users to be able to access the actuall webpage itself. thanks in advance, "Shain Wray [MSFT]" wrote: Hello, Yes, you can use the same method.
