Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue that I have. With the release of all of the microsoft Security updates, I have been scrambling to keep up. I have clients all across the state that are locked down about as tight as you can get. The updates require Administrative rights to install and I have a script that will install them as long as you are logged in with the administrator account. The problem is that I would like to be able to send these cd's out to the clients and allow them to install them without having to make an onsite visit to each of them. Is there a script command that will allow these to be installed with elevated priveleges? Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

That helps alot, now for a really dumb question. Is there a simple command that will get the computer name if I want to run this update using the local administrator account to install this update? I was thinking along the lines of %SystemDrive% but as I am not a bonified script writer, I am unsure of this particular variable. Thanks again for the help.
