Windows Update Through Firewall
I have a request from a company to see if it's possible to allow access to the windows update sites so Servers can download updates needed. My problem is the FW will not work for domains, it will only allow me to use IP's and Ports. Is there a predefined
list I could use instead of doing this by trial an error?
thanks!

Windows update uses ports 80 and 443. If you are using WSUS, the server may use custom ports. To verify check in IIS as per the following document

Hi El_Pelon_19,
Thanks for update.
I think you need deploying WSUS server as a update agent in this case.
Publish it to internet for downloading patches form Windows update site ,so that all internal hosts could update with WSUS instead external windows update site.
