Dear Experts,

I'm using squid proxy server and i have deny downloading, .exe .flv .mp3 files for all. i am also using windows server 2008 r2 for domain controller but i am facing some windows updates issue. Windows server 2008 not updating windows files.. can you please tell me how to unblock/allow windows updates through proxy server.

Thanks

there can be different solutions: 1: allow all requests (of exe files) from that windows 2008 server 2: allow all requests to MS update centre. 3. allow from this server to MS Update only.

How your config file looks like now?

Thanks

so you will need something like this:
acl windows2008server src <ip of that host>
http_access allow windows2008server
your other rules
but probably you need to refine it...
