Re: SUS server

["Tiberio Martinez" <thot () cantv net>]

Hi, Raoul :

Configure the SUS client (on the workstations) for fully automatic 
installation.  That can be done through GPO or, if you have no fear to the 
hard work, manually, one WS at time.

That should solve your problem.

Here you can find some aditiona information.

(Hey... remove those Admin rights...  that only give you  more work to do)
