We are running St Benard for the windows critical updates, and have found if
we install Beta 1 we are unable to push the updates to the machines. Each
user needs to allow St Benard access to the computer. We think it is best
for system admins to do this not each user.
Is there any way you can set up St Benard as a trusted program for all users
on in Beta1? With out having to go to each desk top?
 
Some have suggested the following model:

do a clean install of Microsoft Antispyware.

Set the machine up as desired, including responding appropriately to
specific apps that are standard.

Make this action the last one taken on the machine.

Check the Microsoft Antispyware installation folder and see which file(s)
have the most recent dates. See whether the names of this file gives some
confidence that it records the desired data.

Consider replacing the like file on the desktops with this "pre-configured"
file.

This is a kluge of the worst kind, but it may achieve what you are looking
for. Whether it is worth the effort I can't say from here.

Test the effect of distributing it carefully.
