installing patches w/o being admin

[slyve]

Hi,

I am the administrator of my computer which runs on
win2K. I have other people who can log into the machine
as users of a particular network domain of which this machine is a part of. I was wondering if it was possible for me to schedule the automatic updates for the machine such that the updates are downloaded, prompts for installation and also installs when the non-administrator is logged in.

In other words, would the updates be possible only if the
user has administrative powers or is there another
possibility? I know that it is possible to distribute the
updates from the central server. But, can we do it at a
more local level?


Thank you.

Yes, you can set it to download and install automatically.

Start-Control Panel-Automatic Updates should have option to automatically download and install updates. Also, I believe powerusers have rights to install software too.
