ISA 2004 & WSUS

[Gatt]

How do i get ISA 2004 to connect to my WSUS server?
All other servers & PC's are getting their updates from WSUS, but not my ISA server

[chrisg]

allow localhost http access to local WSUS server.

[Gatt]

Tried that - still cant hit the server

[Geoff]

does the machine have multiple NICs?

[chrisg]

does it do DNS lookups locally or from LEA (ISP) DNS servers or both?

[Geoff]

Did you set the winHTTP proxy with proxycfg.exe?

Our Own DNS server

Did you set the winHTTP proxy with proxycfg.exe?

Dont think so???

[Geoff]

proxycfg -d -p proxy.whereever.ac.uk:8080 yourwsusserver

[NetworkGeezer]

erm aren't -d and -p mutually exclusive swithc options

-d no proxy
-p specific proxy

[Geoff]

nope. The way it does it it means that it'll try and go direct. If that fails then it'll go via your proxy. Except for your WSUS Server, where it'll go direct all the time.

This arrangement ensures both your WSUS server works and you can still use http://update.microsoft.com
