Hi,
In my company, we explicitely block the application ms-update to control workstations update policy.
But I realized that MS internet explorer tries to update its "root list sequence number" at each HTTPS connection.
The file that MS IE tries to access is at :
www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootseq.txt
In your opinion, what would be the best approach to block ms-update except this Internet Explorer access ?
Thanks.

Hi
You can create a custom application based on the url information.
and create a security rule that allow this application and place it above the rule which deny the windows update.

Hello Mattieb,
Have seen similar issue and I want to share some screenshots in creating a custom app just to make it easy if some one faces the issue.
Steps:
1> Create custom app. 2> Apply in a security rule before the rule which blocks MS-Update APP rule. 3> Clear any existing matching sessions so the new sessions to hit the new app.
