I agree on both points indicated by Susan and Daniel.
For the one of Susan: preciesly what I did!
For the remark of Daniel: I have only XP SP2 in that environment, so no issues there. But ofcourse it is a requirement for automatic updates!

The only thing that you need to verify for these features is that OS are on the minimum service pack level.For example W2K need to be at SP4 for being able to work with the GPO. (In the past you needed to install a client version of it)Best regards,Daniel

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Automatic update and Non-Admin Accounts
Hi Shane,No you do not need to log onto each machine and run updates manually :-)I've configured my WSUS settings through GPO for the clients. They install each night the updates from my WSUS server and if a user is logged on (locked the pc), the pc won't reboot automatically in case it's needed, but display a notification.I can send you the GPO settings I use and ofcourse you can link all pc's directly to the internet of to your local WSUS server.In case you're using it for servers, other settings are applicable ofcourse depending on your environment.Best regards,Bart

Do automatic updates install automatically with no admin accounts? Or do I have to log onto each machine and run updates manually? What is the best group policy setting for automatic updates?
