Hi everyone,

   Will updates be installed even if the user has no admin rights on his / her computer using WSUS? Can somebody point me to articles that could explain what user account does it use to install and stuff relating to that? I am not that quite familiar with WSUS yet.  Any ideas i highly appreciate.

Thank you.

Mine is set to run automatically every nite at 3am.  If the user is logged in, the patch will still run and have a message up asking them to reboot.  If no one is logged in and the machine is on, it will run them and reboot on its own.

 Admins on the machine, won't get the automatic fun, it sits in the systray and tells them they have updates.  Our users by default have power user rights, not admins.

 Ours is running via a group policy, thats how the settings are set and such..let me know if you need more info and I'll see what I can do.

The account on which the policy is set is configured by group policy, so you need no to worry about using an account that has admin rights on the box.

Only domain admins can create group policy or unless you have delegated acccess to someone to do so, anyways when the group policy gets applied to the computer it will by default use a domain admin account to apply to the computer.

The settings in group policy only specify wether the user logged on the pc will receive a notification and they should not. Thats basically it., it doesnt allow you to specify an account.
