This is hard to describe, so if something isn't clear, let me know.
We've got a WSUS server set up behind an external ISA server to provide external WSUS access to remote clients.
The internal server name is pfgdsmindwsus12.
The external access to it, and how we configure the clients to contact it, is through secure07.companyname.com.
This works all well and good, as long as we configure WSUS to have the clients download the updates directly from Microsoft. But if we configure WSUS to have clients download the updates directly from the WSUS server, they try to download through the internal pfgdsmindwsus12/content path instead of the external secure07.companyname.com/content path.
Client communications for status checking and reporting still work fine, it's just that they use the wrong path to try to download the updates.
How do we get the clients to use the external server name URL to download updates from to be able to have clients download updates from the WSUS server instead of from Microsoft?
Thank you.
P.S., this is the document we used to set up WSUS behind the ISA server. It's an old document, but it still works:
