Web Filter Exceptions Not Working - Where do Exceptions Apply?

Nick Waits

I have enabled the out of the box exception for Windows Updates.

I have a blacklist applied for a particular network.

*.windowsupdate.com and *.microsoft. com are still blocked.

I had to copy the two regex patterns from the Windows Update Exclusion Policy and add them to the "Websites" --> "Allow These Websites" list on the blacklist filter action.

Is this expected behavior?

I assumed that exclusions added and enabled on "Filtering Options" would be universally applied.

    I was under the impression that the default content filter block action wasn't recommended anymore and instead everything should be blocked or allowed using the default content filter action to avoid issues.

    The default content filter block action comes in handy when you need to "imprison" a specific user temporarily. ;-)
