I am referring to the windows server (WSUS) since it's a service that can help a network and is not taking to much resources as far as I can tell. the wsus offline tool is another approach to another problem you are referring. if you dont want to update manually each node on the network just learn a bit how to configure windows updates. There is no need to update all MS updates in all environments.. Unless it's a business that has a lot of weight and history there is no real need to update and update and update.. There should be an update policy for the network.. squid is a nice tool but the windows update solution it does was meant for a more ISP like environment rather then SMB or ENTERPRISE class networks. if you have a network less then 10 machines just update the network nodes every month since there wont be too much of an updates for that unless there is another windows update cycle that I do not know about. for a network greater then 20 machines I do suggest to use WSUS auto services.. you can take couple minutes to read about microsoft solution for the problem at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/bb332157.aspx About the patterns that you were writing I would say something like: OK the guy that implemented these refresh_pattern did not like his client if he used squid 2.X and 3.1, 3.2. The basics of caching is *do not harm the client while testing*. I have seen what happens if a client sees a page that he already updated on his server and he just tries to understand why at home he has one page and on the server another.. squid tries to make sure that the CIA is being verified... if you can share the access logs from the proxy I can try to identify something about the url but I am not promising anything. By the way if you do have a working printer driver which dosn't have any problems I do not thing you should run and update it since windows guys think you should... There might be a security issue but if you firewall the place correctly and intercept traffic you would be able to find pretty fast if some rouge process\client does something in your network. If you do suspect that there is something going on SNORT is a nice tool. Anyway if wsusoffline is the tool for you I think you have found the right tool for you.
