Regarding URLs and ports needed to be opened on firewall for windows update online

Question

Hi all,

In our organization, we need the URLs and port needed to be opened for the intune autopilot laptops patch to be updates from internet. What are the URLs required to be open in firewall and is there any powershell script to check the connectivity from the LAN?

Hello,

You need to add the following Windows Update website addresses to the "Allow" list. The Windows Update service connects to the Internet through port 80 and port 443.
