Question

windows update

Henning Svane 26

Hi I am searching windows update proxy that can work by only setting up in GPO the same way like WSUS, but with that big difference that it only relay the traffic directly to Windows update servers not chaching anything. So when a server will update it is controlled by the server. So I am not interested in WSUS. I have tried it and it use to much cpu, ram and disk and are to unstabel. The need for the proxy is security as all these server are behind firewall with no internet access. But they still need to be updated. Regards Henning

Hello there, WSUS or Microsoft Configuration Manager is the recommended method for deployment of updates. However to allow Windows updates through the HTTP-proxy, you must edit your HTTP-Client proxy ruleset to add HTTP-proxy exceptions for the Windows Update servers. Make sure that your Firebox allows outgoing connections on port 443 and port 80. These are the ports that computers use to contact the Windows Update servers. Hope this resolves your Query !! --If the reply is helpful, please Upvote and Accept it as an answer--

And this is the problem, I cannot make a rule saying port 80 and port 443 to any. This is simply to unsafe. No Server are allowed to connect to the internet. So no this is what I trying to not to do. WSUS simply is to unstabel du to it very high use of CPU, RAM and Disk space. I using 4cpus 32 GB ram and 1TB disk and it run out of space all the time and braks down.
