Behaviour of disabling "Allow non-administrators to receive notifications" GPO
- by Jaymz
Hi everyone,
As the title suggests, I'm trying to figure out the specific behaviour of the following GPO when disabled:
Administrative Templates Windows
Components Allow non-administrators
to receive update notifications
We've just started using WSUS, and have added a few machines for testing. At the moment, this is set to Enabled. The problem with this setting is it seems to allow users to opt out of certain updates if they deselect the checkbox after hitting custom install.
My main concern with disabling this setting is this: Does it stop non-admins from getting the installs deployed to them?
My guess would be that it will just install them silently at the set scheduled time, suppressing any prompts and ensuring they don't get the opportunity to cancel them (this is what I want).
My worry is that non-admin users will never get updates pushed to them unless an admin goes and logs on to their machine (not what I want, and seems like a silly situation to be in).
Thanks in advance,
Jaymz.
