]]> Here’s a quick Squid tip from their wiki, if you’ve ever wanted to not require authentication for the Windows Update services you can just add the following before any other ACL’s in your config file –

acl windowsupdate dstdomain windowsupdate.microsoft.com
acl windowsupdate dstdomain .update.microsoft.com
acl windowsupdate dstdomain download.windowsupdate.com
acl windowsupdate dstdomain redir.metaservices.microsoft.com
acl windowsupdate dstdomain images.metaservices.microsoft.com
acl windowsupdate dstdomain c.microsoft.com
acl windowsupdate dstdomain www.download.windowsupdate.com
acl windowsupdate dstdomain wustat.windows.com
acl windowsupdate dstdomain crl.microsoft.com
acl windowsupdate dstdomain sls.microsoft.com
acl windowsupdate dstdomain productactivation.one.microsoft.com
acl windowsupdate dstdomain ntservicepack.microsoft.com

acl CONNECT method CONNECT
acl wuCONNECT dstdomain www.update.microsoft.com
acl wuCONNECT dstdomain sls.microsoft.com

http_access allow CONNECT wuCONNECT localnet
http_access allow windowsupdate localnet

This allows the HTTPS and HTTP connections to the suite of Microsoft update sites without authentication. This can be particularly useful if you want to ensure users can update at any time, without needing to enter their information into popup boxes (i.e. non single sign-on setups). There is a quick wizard included in Snapt if you want to automate this!
