Version 5 of Windows update

I am within a domain network with an ISA server running. The ISA server
requires that ALL traffic through must have authentication.
I have found that with the V5 of Windows Update it tries to go through the
ISA server without authentication. I cannot change the policy of
authentication on the ISA server as it is the policy set by the network.
I have also tried to bypass the ISA server by directing my PC straight out
through our 3rd party firewall and again found that windows update still was
trying to go through the ISA server.

Hi

As far as I know, you need to talk to your network admin and persuade
him/her to create an anonymous access rule for Windows Update at the
ISA server.

Hello Torgeir,

Thankyou for those links but why does the new version of Windows Update
still look for an ISA server even though I have set my IE to go straight out
through our firewall?
If I set IE to not use the proxy why then does the WindowsUpdate try and use
it?

Hi

Because WU5 runs in a "system" context and it's proxy configuration
needs to be set with proxycfg.exe (WinHTTP Default Proxy
Configuration Tool).

Open a command prompt (Start/Run and then "cmd.exe" without the
quotes").

Run this command to see what proxy configuration WU uses:

proxycfg


If you don't have a proxy, you will need status

Direct access (no proxy server).


If it reports anything else, to set direct access:

proxycfg -d


To set it to use current users's IE proxy settings:

proxycfg -u



To get more help on proxycfg:

proxycfg -?
