Minimum rights for Office updates?

[Troy Bruder]

Hello,

We are building a locked down desktop group policy for our WinXP and Win2k
users. What are the minimum rights required to use the Office Update site
to download and install updates to the office products?

Thanks,
Troy

If you don't trust your users to be admins on their boxes, you probably
wouldn't want your users to be able to update Office through the website.
Instead deploy fixes through group policy. See the Office Resource Kit for
more details.
