Download from private WSUS server

[tomvoussure]

Hi,

I would like to download WSUS updates from my own WSUS server (so only approved updates will be downloaded).
When i configure my wsus server under the WSUS button in the updategenerator, it doesn't contact it, but still goes to the internet (download.wsusoffline.net).

Does anybody knows how to fix this ?

thanks !

You may try to use the option "/wsusonly" of DownloadUpdates.cmd.
Therefore you need to add the line

Code: Select all

wsusonly=Enabled

to UpdateGenerator.ini

The connections to "download.wsusoffline.net" are required to update some static definitions and blacklists, which could not be determined dynamical.

Hi,

thanks for the reply.
I tested both options (downloadupdates.cmd /wsusonly and the change in the UpdateGenerator.ini), but unfortunattely, it's still going to the internet.

Code: Select all

DownloadUpdates.cmd wxp enu /wsus http://wsus001 /wsusonly

You cannot stop these downloads.

Hi.

WOU needs Microsoft's update catalog file wsusscn2.cab to determine the required patches.
This file does not exist on your WSUS server.
That's why there's no way to operate the download part of this software completely without an Internet connection.

Hi,
You are right.
Once it downloaded some files from the internet, it's pointing to my internal WSUS server.

thx
