DMZ - Windows Update "Rafi" <raphael_vial[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/2/2008 10:15:38 AM Hello, Could you tell me the best way to configure the windows update for servers ( windows 2003 ) in a DMZ ? I know that's possible to use a server WUS on the domain but not very usefull and I'm not sure that's very secure ( maybe with ssl) Thanks in advance for your help Rafi
