QUESTION POSED ON: 28 March 2005
Most of my Windows XP users do not have Local Admin rights. Can Windows Update still perform its work on their computers without elevating user privileges?

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
You can use Group Policy or local registry settings to allow your systems with non-administrative users to take advantage of Windows Update or local SUS systems. Microsoft has a Knowledge Base article describing the configuration and issues available. The article also includes information specific to Windows XP systems.

For more information about SUS/WUS, visit our sister site SearchWinSystems.com.
