Guest Sirri Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Dear all, I have a very annoying problem in our company. Our staff is using windows XP computers and it seems that microsoft automatic update can't update the computers when they are logged in with their power user accounts. This means that I will have to go trough all the computers once in a while and update computers with administrator rights. Our IT-support claims that there is nothing that can be done about it. So my question is can this be true? Is there really know way to have automatic updates installed without me logging in with administrator rights? This is really annoying and takes lot of time, so help is GREATLY appreciated. Best regards, Sirri
Guest Joe Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Not sure if this will help you at all but what I have done on 30 clients was to set the group policy on the machine itself, I seet the automatic updates to 4, the update frequency to 20 hours and the auto update immediate installation to enable. With those settings the machines maintain the updates no matter who is or was logged on. It does not appear that it hase booted anyone off, it appears that the update and reboot happens when the machine is idle so you should make sure no one leaves unsaved work open.
