Hi Neverland,

Try right-clicking on the d/loaded hotfix file, select "Run as", then click
in the radio button beside "The following user", select a User that had
Administrator privileges, key in the password for that User, then click on
OK.

Hi

You could consider implementing SUS (free) or something similar (links to some
3rd party products further down) for security patches.

Microsoft Software Update Services (SUS)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sus/default.mspx

Patch Management Using Microsoft Software Update Services - Operations Guide
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/msm/swdist/pmsusog.asp

Note that the current version will only install critical updates and security
rollup packages (SRPs), as well as SP4 for Win2k and SP1 for WinXP.

A new version is in the works:

SUS needs to be installed on a IIS server. Supports Win2k, WinXP and Win2k3
clients only. SP1 for WinXP and SP3/4 for Win2k installs the WU/SUS client as
default.


There is a separate newsgroup for SUS:
microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs

When evaluating hotfix administration methods/programs,
there are also 3rd party solutions available that will
give a lot more than what SUS offer, but of course, they
are not free. It is as always a cost/benefit analyze that
needs to be done.

Below is links to a 3rd party product example that does
not need a server to run and no IIS is needed (it supports
NT4 clients as well). You can deploy mostly all types of
hotfixes and service packs from an ordinary workstation
if you want.

Shavlik's HFNetChkPro/HFNetChkLT
If 10 computers or less htfnetchkLT is free (http://www.shavlik.com), it can
scan and push patches. It also finds patches needed for Office as well, and it
gives a really nice graphical analysis of the patch from truesecure.

Here is a third party product that supports Win9x and WinME as well:

It is in the "Specify the your clients use to locate this server:", I put Server name: SUS at the Set Option must same name in the group policy "Set the intranet update service for detecting updates and set the intranet statistic server = http://SUS? Please advise. T

Hi

You only need to install WUAU22.msi on Win2k clients with SP2 or less
(it is included in SP3 and 4). For WinXP clients, you only need to
install WUAU22.msi on computers that does not have SP1 installed
(it is included in WinXP SP1).

anyway, please ask your questions about SUS in the SUS newsgroup:
