Administrator rights to load updates

I work for a school district and we have a lot of computer labs & staff
computers. I would like to have the updates load automatically, but I get the
message that Administrative rights are needed. The students log onto these
computers and I don't want them (for obvious reasons) to have administrative
rights. How can I get around this? Right now I have to log onto each machine
to do the updates--and we don't have the funds to set up a SUS server.

Hi Bself,

You can setup automatic update with a scheduled time to install updates with
out being logged on as administrative rights. The Automatic Updates service
finds updates relevant to your computer, downloads them for you, and
installs them at the time you choose. This is the best way to make sure your
system is always up to date with the latest security updates. Caution: Some
updates might require that your computer be restarted to complete the
installation. If you're logged on to your computer, Windows notifies you and
gives you the option to delay the restart. If you are not logged on to your
computer, a scheduled Automatic Updates will restart your computer. That's
why it's really important to be sure to save all of your work prior to the
scheduled installation time. (If multiple people use your computer, be sure
to have all of them save their work before they leave the computer for any
period of time.)
