Anyone update their ISA box from Windows Update ? I couldn't get it to work,
I got this :
Windows Update Error
Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested
page. Select from any of the following pages for information about Windows
Update
services, or send us your feedback.

Turns out the catalogue is now downloaded by HTTPS, and so you need to have
not only a HTTP but also a HTTPS allow out packet filter for the default
external interface of the ISA box, then it works fine.
I have read around a bit about auto updating servers and there seems to very
polarised views, does anyone else update their ISA box (or servers) this
way, keeping in mind that ISA specific updates will have to be downloaded
separately anyway, is it worth it ? i.e. you are not going to get MS04-001
from Windows Update and I haven't seen it on SUS ? But I suppose it's better
than nothing to at least have the underlying O/S up to date.
Cheers
