Question : jucheck.exe in Windows 7 with Active Directory

We have been deploying new PC with W7 Pro in our corporate network with AD (W2003 R2). Users run their machines as non-admins. We have been pestered by this process (jucheck.exe) popping up everyday on W7 users' computers. I've read many articles and posts including this one: http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/Windows_7/Q_24952936.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+jucheck but the answer to the permanent and right solution is nowhere to be found.

I want to know how I can stop the pop ups from jucheck.exe asking for credentials, and at the same time keep my Java up to date without much intervention from the end user other than the necessary click to go ahead with the update without an admin having to walk to the computer to provide credentials so the program can update.

There has to be a way to allow a certified and known application from running and updating itself without having to provide the credentials all the time. It will be interesting to know how the big guys (those with hundreds or thousands PCs) with W7 do it. I can't imagine that they give users admin rights or that they go to each of the PC to type in the credentials. Turning off the updates and running then manually is not a solution, especially with all the nastiness loosen on the net (this is just in case someone tries to suggest just that).

What amazes me is that neither Sun or MS have provided a solution (I could not find one) to this problem (whether it is jucheck.exe or any other application) despite it being all over the net.

Thanks,

Answer : jucheck.exe in Windows 7 with Active Directory

Hi.
How to deploy: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/msi_install.xml
How to customize the msi (use MS Orca for editing):
--quoting appdeploy.com--
IEXPLORER=1 (default=0)
- This selects the IE plugin

JAVAUPDATE=0 (default=1)
- This turns off part of the JavaUpdate

AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 (default=1)
- This turns off part

JU=0 (default=1)
- I'm pretty sure this is the property everyone hated. This is the new property in Update 5 and 6 that turns on that update prompt and leaves JavaUpdate on even if the JAVAUPDATE property is set to 0
- If were trying to figure out how to get rid of "PromptAutoUpdateCheck" under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy] to avoid the first run prompt, setting JU=0 takes care of this.

MOZILLA=1 (default=0)
- This selects the Netscape/Mozilla plugin

SYSTRAY=0 (default=1)
- This turns off the system tray icon when java applets are active

WEBSTARTICON=0 (default=1)
- This disables the creation of the web start link on the desktop (I think, always had this off
