Enabling Silent Auto-update in Java 7.45 as a non-local administrator user, enterprise best practice

1049332Oct 21 2013

So I have been looking through forums, java help, and everywhere possible for more insight on java in an enterprise environment. What I have found so
far is that there is no actual way to enable auto updates to install as a non-local admin user.

I know you can turn on and off updates My company wants to install java JRE as a silent-autoupdate "always update" kind of installation, but all my users are domain users, without admin rights. When it finds an update - it prompts for credentials and obviously they are denied. Is this even possible?  If it is not possible to "auto-update" non local admins, I can make the case to management that java releases need to be QA'd and controlled releases. My environment is adminstudio/installshield and SCCM. I know auto-installing updates to java without QA per version , in a enterprise environment, is not good practice, but its not my decision right now.

thank you very much!
