Looking For A Patch Management

[Stuntgp2000]

Hi everyone.

Does anyone know a Patch Management Software that install patches even in a low privilege account.

Why ?

All my PCs have a low privilege account which prevent Automatic Windows Update from installing Updates.

Thanks in advance

Why not using SUS/WUS? It is working with non-admin users, too... (based on WI)

I think SUS need a lot of system resources & a Server OS while my central pc is a XP Pro OS

Not sure about server OS... About performace - one PIII 500MHz machine can take care of about 50000 client computers. I am running 2 SUS server on normal server and dont have any problems with performance. Once I saw running few SUS servers (virtual servers) on one common physical server with no problems...

soulin, the obstacle to WUS being used in non-large networks, is that it has to be a service running off a non-Primary AD server. So effectively, you should have one for AD services, and a secondary one hosting WUS. We could afford it, but not everybody....

Also, the WUS host will only run off a Win2k server or WS2k3 server OS.

You have to find a way to have the following files run as an administrator: [all located in the %systemroot%\system32 folder] WUAUCLT.EXE WUAUCLT1.EXE and WUPDMGR.EXE. Set up something to have them run as an administrator or as the Administrator. Your choice.
