Hi Jim and everyone If I might ask, what are the minimum required rights? Could you possibly provide me with a link or a "Q" article that will provide me with this information? Thanks so much for all the information!!

We create a separate locked down account that has a locked down profile(the desktop is empty and so is my computer) that has elevated priveleges enough to install the fix or updates. When we want an update installed we enable the account, put a shortcut in the profile to the update, instruct staff to do the update over a period of time and then disable the account after that time. We change the password each time we do this. Works for us.
