Perhaps I'll play with doing that a bit. The decision to turn it off was made some years back. I seem to recall that we ran into several problems with cacheing at the time, but it may be worth a second look. In any case, the problem oddly enough seems to have gone away on its own. I removed the WSUS server from the "Source Exceptions" in the Malware Inspection configuration, so I could do some troubleshooting. But the server has continued to be able to download files.

It would have been better to simply create a no-cache rule for those sites. You lose a BUNCH of great functionality with SecureNET clients. Configure your WSUS to be a Web proxy client and all this will go away. ..Like Steve said...

We had a lot of objections from our web group a few years ago (their test sites would get cached and they couldn't see their changes in a timely fashion), so we just turned it off.

Have you configured your WSUS to behave as a CERN proxy client? Based on your logs, it doesn't seems so because the URL includes an IP address (or the manifest it downloads is buggered). Do this - go to your WSUS configuration and make sure it's properly configured to use TMG as its proxy server. If it is, a netcap of the process at the TMG itself would be very useful...

When I highlight one of the Failed Connection Attempts, in the upper pane the URL is listed as http://70.37.129.29/msdownload/update/software/defu/2010/04/mpam-fe_128bde14f8e8f74f6fa189cfdf28eff7829a3ed8.exe In the lower pane, the Destination is listed as "External (cds24.ewr9.msecn.net 70.37.129.29:80)".

The WSUS team insists that WSUS will not make requests this way.

I got tied up with other things, and since my creation of the Source Exception for WSUS made it work, this slipped in priority. Today I deleted the Source Exception and tried again to download files with WSUS. Again that failed. The thing is, WSUS doesn't appear to be trying to pull files from any of those built-in Destination Exceptions you mentioned (*.microsoft.com, *.windows.com and *.windowsupdate.com). According to the log, it's trying to pull files from "cds118.ewr9.msecn.net 70.37.129.123:80". So it doesn't seem like those Destination Exceptions would help.

Use NetMon at the TMG and set the log viewer to monitor traffic from the WSUS server. Are you sure the WSUS proxy settings are right?

At least that was my experience today. Thanks, Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rob Moore Network Manager 215-241-7870 Helpdesk: 800-500-AFSC
