ProClub Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hello!An other question. I have loads of software I figured out how to update from a local server and some reg files that need regular updating. However, my users do not have rights to do any of this. So, how do I update my stuff? IS there a way to do it windows-update-like, so there's an option "Install updates and shut down"?Thus would be REALLY cool. I wouldn't have to worry about updating 50+ computers every week.ThanksJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Symbiosis Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 If you have more than 50 computers to update, you should think about running your own update server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruVue Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 You may want to think about using SMS. Our admin here has just started using it and has done some pretty sweet things with it, such as deploying Office updates, Mcafee updates, hardware queries, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProClub Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 I do HAVE a local update server. As far as software is conserned. Or can I use the local wupdate server method to deploy software updates?However, I found a means to install my software. I use a local policy to run a shutdown script. This should work since software runs with SYSTEM rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe User 99 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 If you are running a domain, you can use group policy to distribute MSI installations.SMS would be nice, but it is not free.And NO, you can not use SUS or WSUS to distribute your own updates.
