Re: Maybe does Microsoft Windows Update Server accelerate Update better than Squid?

Hey,

My suggestion is that in most cases that the network is larger then 100 PCs try to use a WSUS but... If you can send someone to just pass between the computers and make sure each and every one of them is working properly after each update everybody will be happy.

In some environments it is part of the policy to make sure that each PC is fully operational after each update. Since the software was stable before it's smart to notice what each update is for and make sure if the environment actually needs this update.. For example a firewalled internal LAN which is never allowed to even reach the Internet Should be monitored by the switch port level to make sure that the computer is not being touched or messed at any time..(the policy will be different in every place).

I have handled couple system updates over the time and it should be smooth but in real life it's not always the result.

All The Bests,
Eliezer

Hello,

one more question regarding downloads (updates and patches) for the
operating system windows XP/Vista/7/8:

Would it be much faster if I use WSUS to distribute Updates within a LAN
than to use Squid Proxy which maybe is not allowed to cache the download
by the microsoft website?

I was wondering if anyone can give me a hint.

Regards,

Dirk Lehmann
