I have some Vista Business users running with Limited accounts so that they
can't install programs with the admin password. MS Automatic Update service
seems to be running as Administrator so those patches get applied seemlessly
and without my user having to call me to apply them.
But I would truely love the ability to allow for Firefox and Adobe Reader to
update themselves as well? Is this possible? I just can't keep up with all
those updates on those two program for everyone here at work.
Hey, I wonder if Google Updater can update these apps seemlessly:
http://pack.google.com/intl/en/pack_installer.html
Ummm... I guess this runs as a System Account. I'll give this a shot and
see. Otherwise any other suggestions are welcome.
Overall though, I'd like to see how to define a specific program (well
understanding the security ramifications) to install it as admin
automatically.
thanks,
