I've been setting up automatic updates on our Windows computers here, and have gotten several complaints from users saying that they cannot use the computer. Immediately after logging in, they get this message: "The previous installation of an application has not been completed. Logon with an Administrator account to complete the installation." It then logs them out. I'm guessing that this does not cause a problem on every computer (because we haven't gotten complaints from everyone), but enough now that it is troublesome. Has anyone else gotten past this?
This may or may not apply but I've seen some conversations about the latest MS03-040 patch requiring an administrator login to complete the patching process for some IE versions. I don't know if this also prevents a regular user from logging in until this is done. -- Gary Flynn Security Engineer - Technical Services James Madison University ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/cg/.
