Hi all

I'm going to be setting up an SUS server within a W2k3 domain, on a W2k3 server, clients are all WinXP Pro.
I've been doing a bit of reading on SUS and it all sounds good, well apart from you can't update drivers through it, but never mind.

So far I've tested it on a test network with three XP clients, all works well, apart from one slightly major thing.
In order for SUS updates to take place the network user needs to be a member of the local computers admin account. I've tried it with power user settings and just user settings but neither work.

So my question is this, is there a way or more accurately, how do you deploy SUS WITHOUT giving the network user local admin permissions?

Input appreciated.

push the updates to client computers. sounds like clients pull updates from the SUS server using the local machine automatic updates but with SUS, you can push em to client computers with no user intervention. You can obtain a print version of the SUS Guide on the SUS web site.
