That means students will not be able to update the firmware via the school's computers. As it looks like also teachers have the same problem...

The old method of running updates does a "direct write to disk" at a very low level (similar to what happens when you write your boot sector on a hard drive). That is not something you want to be allowing non-admin users to do.

I agree it isn't good. That is part of why we won't be using it in the future. The new update method that your current firmware supports will do it instead.
