It would only work if the user logging in had local admin rights.

you can run scripts under administrator contexts using PSEXEC from cmd
files. I believe it's free. I don't know where our script guru got it from,
but it might be in resource kit but I'm sure Google could bringit up

well, if you read the documentation for the hotfix (the KB article), it
will describe the available command line switches, including those
needed for quiet installs. On NT4, however, almost all hotfixes will
force a reboot after installation, so keep that in mind.

Hi Ricardo and Dave,

If you have several hotfixes to deploy, you may want to consider using 'QChain'
so that you only need do one reboot at the end of the installation cycle.

Calvin.
