I've found this behavior updating from Microsoft Updates. In the past, Office
Updates did not act this way. Now, if I point a computer at Microsoft
Updates, it finds any Windows and / or Office updates. It will allow me to
install them, whereas in the past it gave a warning that I was trying to
update an admin install.

We're getting ready to update our SMS 2003 Scan Tools to the latest
Microsoft Updates Feature set. This appears to behave the same way as a visit
to the Microsoft Updates site. I would love to see this behavior as I could
allow my SMS infrastructure to push down the binaries instead of an admin
install refresh.

Hi Sandy,

install them, whereas in the past it gave a warning that I was trying to
update an admin install.

OK, I understnad the problem now. I think something did change with
2003, probably with the concept of LIS coming into view, but I have it
locked with group policy anyway.

And then your AIP is out of date. If you don't like AIP, you can use
LIS, but personally I would not do it this way.
