Hi,

my name is Valerio, and I'm a network engineer.

I need to know which Internet services/applications should be enabled/allowed through a Fortinet FW in order to allow Windows PCs to receive Windows/Office updates.

Bye, thank you.

    Microsoft uses a variety of domains for update service but all of them use HTTP/HTTPS. It also uses NTP to sync clocks.

    And for sure you need to have DNS service.
