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.

Google for RUNAS utilities that let you do this.

My recommendation would be to consider the free Windows Update client
and/or MS SUS server. It updates Windows 2000, XP and 2003 clients.
The client software is installed with the latest service packs, all
you need to do is change a registry setting on the clients and updates
happen automatically.

If this is not an option, you could use features similar to Runas as
mentioned in the FAQ:
