By default, software update files are downloaded from the Internet using the credentials of the logged-on user and the proxy settings configured for the user in Internet Explorer. The UpdDwnldCfg.exe utility is available on the Configuration Manager 2007 DVD and on every site server. It can be used to modify the server and account credentials used to access the Internet through the following components:
- A firewall.
- A proxy server.
- A computer that is running Microsoft Internet
Security and Acceleration (ISA) server.
When running the UpdDwnldCfg.exe utility to modify the server and account credentials, the following switches can be used:
- /s: Specifies the name of the
firewall, proxy server, or ISA server computer, and the port number
that is used when downloading software update files from the
Internet.
- /u: Specifies the user account that is
used to connect through the firewall, proxy server, or ISA
server.
- /clean: Removes the server and account
settings previously configured by running upddwnldcfg.exe.
Use the following procedures to modify the server and account settings used when software update files are downloaded from the Internet and to remove the settings previously configured by using the UpdDwnldCfg.exe utility.
