I am new to autopatcher and have found all of my answers in the forum except for one. Is there a way to use autopatcher with a GPO so that the updates will install to users that do not have admin access on their PC.

Also I have used SUS form microsoft but the abilty to control the time of deployement is not as easy and caused some of my legacy programs to lockup. I think this is a good program but I need help in this one area.

thanks.

Vince

Hi Vince and welcome.

I've never used GPO's like this (I use other methods to distribute updates), so I can't give you a full answer.

However, I can tell you that AutoPatcher will require administrative privileges in order to install the actual updates (as does anything that installs updates) but also it will require write access to the WINDOWS and SYSTEM32 folders and to the HKLM branch of the Registry for its own use. Of course, that is not usually a problem if it is running with administrative privileges.
