Dear all,
Most of our clients are running WinXP PRO with SP1, due to corparate
security policy, users are lot allow to be local admin of client PC (unless
necessary). We are planning to implement SUS to solve windows update
problem. However overhead that in order to run SUS in to XP client PC, users
must have local admin right.
I wish to confirm with you if it is neccessary to grant computer user
local admin right in order to enable client PC to get patches updated and
installed properly from SUS server.

thanks

Hi - the best group for SUS is m.p.softwareupdatesvcs....this group is for
Windows Update.
I am not an SUS guru but I don't think this is an admin issue - you point
autoupdate at your SUS server on the client - much as you can run autoupdate
in WU on a workstation without the user needing admin rights.

Hi Elton,

NO need...........you can schedule the installation.

Need not to give users with Admin rights.

I have implemented in this a in few client places and they are happy with
the performance.
