Automatic updates never take place
I have scheduled automatic updates every day at 3:00 a.m.
to keep my workstations up-to-date. Clients log off at
night. Every time I visit a workstation and check updates
manually, I notice that automatic updates have not taken
place. I do not have a domain policy to disable updates. I
do not have a proxy server, all workstation are behind
firewall and connection to the internet is no problem.
Please advice.
Regards,

David
 
for the auto updates to happen you need a user name and
password in the scheduled update program

Do you have each client trying to check for updates on it's own? That
seems a huge waste of time/bandwidth.

Better to get the necessary updates on your server, then schedule a
push of the updates out to your clients at a certain time in the
middle of the night.

Just asking, but what if the video is working perfectly and you auto
update it via MS?

Aren't you taking a chance of pharking up all the systems?

Perhaps you should count your blessings that is hasn't been working :)

Does this mean the machines are left with no account logged in? In that
case I don't think the scheduler will be running to run anything
