Instructions on how to enable Automatic Updates and configure it to Download and Prompt for installation
Description:
Automatic Updates must be enabled and set to download and prompt for installation on all ResNet computers in order to gain internet access.
You are currently being placed in a Temporary Role with limited network access to perform the necessary updates.
Q: Why can't I take care of installing updates manually?
A: From our experience this issue was not being addressed by an adequate number of users. As a result, unsuspecting machines were often hijacked and used to propagate viruses and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
Please complete the following to enable Automatic updates on your Windows Vista machine:
- Click the Start button, click All Programs, and then click Windows Update.
- Click Change Settings.
- You can choose between Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them or for greater security, select Install updates automatically (recommended) (the top option) and choosing a time when you would like the automatic installation to take place.
- Click OK to confirm your setting.
- Return to the Clean Access Agent. Click the Next button at the bottom of the window. If you meet all other network requirements, you will be granted network access. If there are other requirements you do not meet, you will be given instructions on what you need to do.
- You will be notified when new updates are available from Microsoft. Please install them on a regular basis.
