I need help on how I can allow non-administratve Domain
Users the right to install Windows Updates. As it is now,
when these users go to Windows Update and attempt to scan
for updates they get the "Administrators Only" page that
states that they need to part of the Administrator group
to do the updates (we are a NT 4.0 domain and do not use
AD Group Policies to limit this - we do NOT have this
problem with our W2K machines).

I've already gone into the local Group Policy and disabled
the "Remove access to use all Window Update features". I
cannot add the Global Domain Users to the Local
Administrators group.

Am I overlooking a Group Policy or local security setting?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
