IE proxy exceptions for update service(s)


Recommended Posts

Greetings,

 

I am attempting to configure IE (6) on 2K to go to a non-existent proxy

server in order to "disable" IE for a tech-impared user with a propensity for

turning her machine into a botnet nest.

 

Setting this non-existent proxy should be fine enough to stop her browsing,

but I still want Windows updates to come through.

 

What domains / addresses should I set in the exceptions to allow WUAS to

function properly? - I have *.microsoft.com as well as *.akamai.net but I'm

still getting a 80072EE2 error when trying to browse updates.microsoft.com.

 

Thanks!

Disregard - Found missing exception in a previous response.

- I was missing the "windowsupdate.com" domain...
