RE: [ActiveDir] OT: SUS Question
Title: Message I just jumped on the SUS bandwagon, we have also been using update expert but have a lot of laptops that go off the network quite frequently. So I have setup SUS and its running fine, I would like to use the option to just download and apply the patch no questions asked and then prompt the user to reboot if they are logged on. My only problem is that all of my users are local admins on their machines. Due to that it seems as if they will still have the option to load the patches or not when the scheduled time comes around, and if I schedule in the middle of the night then chances are their laptops will not be on the network. My question is a.) Is there anyway to suppress that message even to administrators or b.) make the if no answer is given proceed time like 1 second, rather than the 90 seconds I believe it is now.

My question is that the server is downloading all the patches from MS, like ones from 2002 on. Should I not approve those updates and only start from this day on or should I allow those updates to be approved? Most computers have already had these patches in the past, what would the harm be to have them reapplied, or would they even reapply if they already exist? Your help is appreciated. Justin A.
