Just a question. What are people with limited rights doing installing system or software updates?

They're not. The sysadmin installed the tool, and now whenever another limited user logs in, the tool pops up and claims the copy of Windows isn't legit.

It pops up everytime Windows starts up or a user logs in.

They don't have to to get this to happen.

If the *administrator* installs it, it works fine - for the admin. But when a non-admin logs in, Windows screams its bloody head off about being a pirated version unless the admin deliberately opens this hole.

Complete screw up.
