WSUS & User/Admin Rights

Hello,
WSUS is installed & functions properly, however client computers only seem
to install updates downloaded from the WSUS server when & user account with
domain admin rights logs on the the computer. How can I get updates to
install under domain user permissions? Please advise.

Thank you in advance!

Or perhaps when a user account with /local/ Admin rights logs onto the
computer.

I'd guess you don't have the client computers configured to install
/scheduled/ updates.

You cannot install updates /interactively/ with a non-admin account, by
default.

You can:
[a] Enable the policy "Allow non-admins to receive update notifications"
to grant ALL users the ability to interact with the Windows Update Agent
User Interface (not recommended, unless you've evaluated all of the
ramifications of this configuration).
[b] Configure Automatic Updates for Option #4, and assign a day/time for
/scheduled/ installations, and ensure the machines are powered on during
that /scheduled/ installation time.
