This is correct. Automatic scheduled installation of updates with WSUS
occurs exactly like it has with Automatic Updates for the past 10 years. The
AU agent determines which updates are available/applicable, downloads the
content, and then installs the update at the scheduled time. All of this
activity is performed by the "Automatic Updates" service, which runs in the
context of the SYSTEM account -- giving it full access to the machine, and
eliminating the requirement that the logged on user is an administrator
(which *is* a requirement to use WU/MU).
