SUS Fix for clients not downloading updates

[topgun72]

I just wanted to share a fix I found with SUS not updating clients. I found that if you installed the URL scanner seperatly it will block .exe files by default. Since the updates are .exe files it prevents them from being downloaded. By going into the URL Scanner urlscan.ini file and removing .exe from the "Deny extensions" list it will allow downloads and installs of the updates.

Thanks,

The URL scanner is installed on the SUS server not the workstations. Find the urlscan.ini file on the server and make the change I document above.

Good luck!
