Windows 7 Domain Users Cannot Update w/o Admin
Our computer network was Windows XP Pro. We upgraded the computers to Windows 7 Pro.
Under XP, users were allowed to update without any problems.
With Windows 7, it prompts for an administrator account.
The computers already have checked "Allow all users to install updates on this computer". However it does indicate on that same screen at the top "Some settings are managed by your system Administrator".
Currently it's wanting to install the monthly malware tool, but is unable to do so without domain admin's credentials.
What I'm baffled with is that this worked under the WinXP systems, but not Win7 systems.
Server did not change anything (Win2003 Server) w/ active directory.
Might there be some group policy on the server that wouldn't allow Win7 computers, when WinXP computers worked? Or is there something beyond the "Who can install updates" option on the computers locally?
All computers on the network experience this same problem.
Thank you for any suggestions and taking the time to read this!
