Guest AndyHancock Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Where can one find firewall rules to allow Windows 2000 updates? Specifically, which applictions will be reaching out, input or output, the type of access/data (TCP, UDP, etc.), which executable will be doing this, the swath of IP addresses which it could contact, and the ports? I've got my automatic updates to only notify me, not download and install. I do that manually. Thanks! Quote

Guest AndyHancock Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Hmm. The choice for the firewall is TDP, UDP, ICMP, or other. Would HTTP be implemented on top of one of first two? I accessed the the website you referenced, and the relevant solution seems to be Microsoft Software Update Services (SUS). All links link to a webpage for Windows 2000 Server, which I don't run (this is for a home computer). I was wondering what Microsoft had in mind for home users using a firewall. Such users need to create rules based on the specific outreaching application, protocol, IP addresses to be contacted, direction (in/out), and ports (which you've provided).
