XP autoupdate (powerusers)

[Gavin]

Hello.

I have a small domain based network. All the users have their own
workstation, for which they are set as Power users on that workstation. I
would like them to be able to use windows update, but when they try to do
it, they get told only administrators can do it. I do not want to set the
users as Administrators for the workstation or the network, so is there any
way around this? In using XP pro on the vlients, with a Win2000 server
(active directory).

Hi

The interactive Web-interface of WU is not an option in this case.

You need to use AutoUpdate on those computers and configure them
do automatically download and install (AuOptions=4).
