Hi!!

Windows Update really has problems authenticating to squid, so you
need to use some rules in order to get it working. The rules that we
are using are the following:

acl WindowsUpdateSites  dstdomain       .windowsupdate.com
.windowsupdate.microsoft.com .update.microsoft.com

Then, before the http_access rule that requires user authentication,
use this one
http_access allow WindowsUpdateSites

Regards,
Carlos.
