RE: [squid-users] Redirecting Windows Update

Redirect it (like you would porn or such) to a page saying it is blocked
to insure that computers remain compliant yadda, yadda. Give a link to
the SUS server for them to use.

Again, I know MS SUS, I'm a SUS 2.0 beta tester !!!

Again NO:

- SUS doesn't mirror all Windows Update services contents
- All updates are digitally signed and verified, so you cannot fake the
Windows update site: Your clients will search for ORIGINAL Windows
updates Digital Signatures, not for the Digital signatures generated
from SUS.
