The Webex Meetings desktop app can be downloaded automatically or manually, or it can be mass deployed by your site administrator. How you get it may vary by computer or Webex site settings. Review the matrix to understand your installation.
Given the nature of certain Software Updates, and the fact they can change/overwrite system files, the Software Update process will require admin user rights on the host system.
That doesn't matter whether the update comes from Apple directly, or from some local software update server, the user still needs admin privileges on the host system in order to install them.
So there are two potential solutions. One is to give your users admin rights on their machines (and, of course, you might not want to do this), the other is to use Apple Remote Desktop (ARD).
ARD give a central administrator user the ability to control remote machines on the LAN, including pushing out software updates. It's really the preferred solution for this kind of setup.
It doesn't save the sysadmin from doing the install, but at least s/he doesn't have to walk the halls to touch every machine, and they can all be done in parallel.

I am running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro and am unable to connect with Webex ---
![Rights Rights](/uploads/1/2/5/8/125877406/628383639.png)
once I log into the webex session --- I get this same command on both Safari 5.1.2 and on Firefox 10.0:
Meeting center cannot be opened because of a problem.
check with the developer to make sure meeting center works with this version of mac os x.
you may need to reinstall the application. be sure to install any available updates for the application
and mac osx.
any ideas??
I have tried all angles on this one and keep getting the same command.
thanks!
