Pushing Autodesk service packs, hotfixes, and other updates to users workstations

Issue:

Autodesk has released a service pack, hotfix, or other updates, and you would like to push out these items to your user's workstations.

Solution:

Autodesk does not have a way to push these items out to your user's workstations other than using Autodesk Access to install locally with local admin rights. Autodesk does not support third-party installation technologies like Microsoft GPO, SCCM, Intune, or PDQ. It is possible to have these types of software work, but it will require in-house expertise and customization. 

Autodesk products provide Autodesk Access to alert users when updates are available. Autodesk Access provides a way to download and install the updates. These updates/service packs must be performed at the client workstation by a user with local administrator rights. You can use a reg edit to allow users to have local admin rights for the updates only in Autodesk Access.
