I want my clients (with power user privileges) to
automatically download and install patches on the windows
2000 pro sp4 workstations. I'm currently installing SUS
and want to install the patches. I don't want to give
administrative privileges to the users.
No active directory, actually a nt4 pdc.
i'll configure my clients either with the ADM file or via
registry, no problem with this.
Is that possible?
thanx a lot.

Of course, with Group Policy, it would be a snap.
