Try adding download.windowsupdate.com. If you do a TCPDUMP you'll see it
accesses that one as well.

Might be an option...
How do I do that?
I have tried
acl WIN1 dstdomain update.microsoft.com
acl WIN2 dstdomain windowsupdate.microsoft.com
acl WIN3 dstdomain download.microsoft.com
always_direct allow WIN1
always_direct allow WIN2
always_direct allow WIN3
But it still prompts for auth.
Are you getting your users to authenticate when they connect?
Windows update looks like is not capable of working well with
authenticating proxies. If you exclude URLs used by Windows updates from
authenticating, it will go through.
Look at access.log to see the URLs used by Windows Updates.

Hi Aaron
The squid is not running as a transperent proxy, and we have manually set
the proxy settings in I-Explore.
It works though, but takes 30min - 1hour or so to connect. And forever to
download the updates. :(
Hi Lasse
It could be related to the problem I'm having, depending on how your
proxy
it set up. I'm trying to build a box to manage the Quarantine network
in
our environment and the Windows Update site hangs/fails for me as well.
The
problem in my case is that Squid is a transparent proxy, and when you
click
on either the "Custom" or "Express" options, it briefly requires an SSL
connection to download.windowsupdate.com - since Squid doesn't seem to
have
a way to do that in transparent mode, it fails.
If I set IE to use Squid as a proxy directly, it'll work. Have you
tried
setting the proxy settings directly in IE yet?

It just stalls now where it looks for latest updates.
Maybe without caching the windows update files?
I am getting kinda desperate!
Hmm.. Dosn't seem to help :(
It still lacks and run terrible slow.

Hey all
squid 2.5.9-10 running debian.
Does anyone knows what to do, when windows update hangs ?
Sometime it just stalls, but now and then it works, although it is
got
damn slow :(
Including that, it prompts for user and passwords just before it
checks
for updates, I belive it is?
Any solution to this? The best thing would be if it was possible to
cache
the updates, but it worst case I might have to remove the windows
update
site, from the proxy list.
Thanks
