Hi, I could put it on a share (no samba here - totally windows) so they can access update.
But then I have still have to go round and do the updates! Most users don't have permission to install software, it needs admin rights, or be an approved process that can elevate it's rights to do install (like .msi files from server are allowed). So, is there an automatic detection and update process? (along lines of windows update detecting that office needs an update and then doing it, or like firefox's update process). If not, does anyone else see this as important? I won't be installing any more OpenOffice if there is high overhead for admins to do updates.
