The user trying to install the update needs to be a member of the local
administrators group of which the domain admins group is which is probably why it
works for that account. An alternative is to install the updates by schedule which
does not require local administrator intervention. You can also use the free Software
Update Services on a W2K/2003 Server on the network running IIS and use Group Policy
to configure the domain clients for Windows Updates. SUS allows you to download and
approve updates to your local SUS server and then have clients use it to get their
updates and service packs. See the links below for more details.--- Steve
