RE: Windows SUS

It is my understanding that if the user logged in at the time of the
scheduled download belongs to the local administrator group, they have
the option to postpone the install.  See the Deploying Microsoft
Software Update Services guide page 47.

: well... I had done all that and the SUS is running on
:client as 
:expected.
:The only problem is that when it comes to the time to
:install,
:It prompt the user whether to install the downloaded
:patches now or 
:later.
:I would like to have it installed automatically at the
:background 
:without
:any user interaction.
:I push it through the AD group policy.
:Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

:Hart.
