Hi all,
We have about 300 user's in my Company. We have allowed all users
administrator rights on their local machines in order to download and install
Microsoft critical updates, McAfee DAT file updates Etc. Since they have full
rights they are free to do everything else to their PCs and this leads to
spyware and other undesireable stuff winding up on their PCs. My question is:
If I don't want to allow the users full administrator rights, how do I
install the updates?
