Hi People!

I'm very new user, i'm using wsusoffile from my linux server, our pc use windows 10, 8 and 7 64 Bits, I'm watching that wsusoffile not download critical updates, and theme makes sense then that Microsoft agrees to use automatic updates and the site http://catalog.update.microsoft.com

While wsusoffline uses the updates available in download.microsoft.com, not downloading from catalog.update. microsoft.com

Reading the forum, you can add updates (not considered) by hand, for it urls download the file are used (in this example Windows 10)

wsusoffline / static / custom / StaticDownloadLinks-w100-x64-glb.txt

On the other hand the package number is added:

wsusoffline / client / static / custom / StaticUpdateIds-w100-x64.txt

[root@psilva custom]# cat StaticUpdateIds-w100-x64.txt
KB3163207

My question is how to get the download URLs that are catalog.update.microsoft.com officers, one way to do (quite artisanal) is to perform the download and watch through wireshark or some other sniffer http protocol, then capture the url and place as previously noted.

I do not know if there is a site, which report to the download urls so consider the patches that need to be present in the machines.

Of course, thank you very much for your comments or suggestions.

catalog.update.microsoft.com is difficult:

1) select the updates you want
2) start the download
3) view the source code of the site showing the download process
4) search for the download links (you may use "[0]" (without quotes) as search command)
5) use them

Sorry to say, but (except for Wireshark or Fiddler) this is the only way I know about.
