Non-admin users and windowsupdate...

Hi,

We have a lot of notebooks which belongs to users whom are normally logged
on to the domain (or offline) as ordinary domain users with no admin rights.

However when they are not admin users Windows Update (and anti-virus update)
are not enabled.

Can we somehow allow automatic windows updates and specifically our
antivirus updates for these users so they don't need to remember to log in
as admins a couple of times a week to receive and install any available
updates...?

Thanks for hints on this

regards

Rod

Too stupid question ??

- or is it only us who experience that there is no windows updates
downloaded unless we leave the notebook logged in to as administrator for a
few minutes?

I'd also love to see an answer to this problem. It makes it a bit hard
for users to follow the recomendation to use a restricted account_and_
keep the system up to date.

Neither RunAs nor MakeMeAdmin seem to be able to get around this.
