how to block windows updates at all times except 2am-6am

Hi,

Configure a time event definition in Definition & Users > Time Period Definition. Configure a new filter policy on TOP within the web filter profile and make sure to define the time event. Here, you can select the custom time event definition. Finally, add the Microsoft update URLs in the block these websites option found in the filter action.

This configuration will block the Microsoft office URLs in the defined hours. The required URLs:

windowsupdate.microsoft.com

http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

https://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

http://*.update.microsoft.com

https://*.update.microsoft.com

http://*.windowsupdate.com

download.windowsupdate.com

http://download.microsoft.com

test.stats.update.microsoft.com

ntservicepack.microsoft.com

Thanks

Also, check your Exceptions to confirm that you aren't skipping URL Filtering for any of those in Sachin's post.
