Hi,
Is there a way that we can set automatic windows update for a local user with Power users right? I know we have to have admin right to run this.
Thanks

Is this so they can choose whether or not to install updates? Is this in a corporate environment? Why not have the updates automatically applied?

Here is what you have to do,
Open Active Directory Users and Groups
Right Click the domain name, properties, group policy tab, click "New"button, name a policy e.g. "Windows Update Policy".
Mark it and then clcik "Edit"button, this will take you to the Group Policy Dialog box.
Expand Computer Configuration,, expand administrative templates, Windows Components, click "Windows update", make the desired changes.
That's all

By this way, the user doesn't need to be an administrator or even a power user for the updates to take place
